      We have it as I thought it was good but the amount of false fucking positives is fucking annoying. It will only get worse if they stick AI in it.

      And Robert Miles' video on it, is always good

    It's a floor wax and a desert topping!

    2016: Hey, how about this "blockchain" stuff? Pretty maximally annoyingly overhyped technology, right?

    2023: Hold my beer.

    The threat landscape is enhanced which makes it critical to include Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Cybersecurity Operations.
