back to article What keeps Mandiant Intelligence EVP Sandra Joyce up at night? The coming storm

When Sandra Joyce, EVP of Mandiant Intelligence, describes the current threat landscape, it sounds like the perfect storm.  The threat intelligence firm, which is being acquired by Google Cloud, made its annual cybersecurity predictions for the year ahead. And this year, they all materialized at once. "We predicted supply- …

    Fiddling about around the Edge whilst Rome burns ..... a recipe for guaranteed disaster

    Of course, sometimes there remains a disconnect between knowing what should be done and actually doing it. But overall, enterprises are becoming more resilient because they realize the problem is not going away, Joyce said.

    Is that a tacit admission that such a catastrophic systemic vulnerability ..... not doing what should be done ....... is acceptable overall, with measures touting and providing resilience in the field the best that enterprises can expect from the likes of a Mandiant Intelligence/Google Cloud ‽ . That sounds like someone is selling expensive [$5.4bn]fake snake oil to me.

    And regarding the statement "This problem is getting bigger." ..... is there any problem getting bigger than the following one if nothing effective and remedial is to be done about it ..... or nothing effective and remedial can be done about without fcuking up everything crooked which most probably is the honest truth?

    Makes you wonder about who on Earth thought the present system was such a fantastic idea and what sort of folk think it great to mindlessly support and follow to horrendous crash and titanic collapse.

    But when a country faces an inflationary problem you can’t just pay more and spend more, you have to find ways of tackling the underlying causes of inflation. .... Boris Johnson

    The underlying cause of inflation is the capitalist system's worship and need for profit at every stage of a production and supply cycle [an arbitrary extra sum of money for nothing extra added] which forces the price of everything way above cost and eventually, very quickly, is everything too expensive to buy as every Tom, Dick and Harry adds a crippling percentage price rise on that which they provide.

    It aint rocket science FFS.

    And as that aint gonna be fixed any time soon, you can expect things to get considerably worse than they are now, with the very real likelihood of mass civil unrest verging on mirroring the likes of the Troubles and the revolutionary, only this time more accurately targeted against a comfortably well off rich enemy.

    That's one lesson learned from decades of explosive devices in working districts.

    It would be nice to be wrong about that being a possibility but don't be putting any money you cannot afford to lose on it not being so.

    That's the coming storm which will do more than just keep the likes of Mandiant Intelligence EVP Sandra Joyce up at night, methinks.

        Actually, I believe the lipstick is extra and you need to buy a subscription. But not to worry, there's a free coupon in the crate for a two week supply,

    Where's the Body?

    When I read the headline my immediate thought went to another Professor Sue Black (aka Baroness Black of Strome), one of the UK's leading forensic anthropologists...
