#DORA is ready to slap you upside down, and most #FinTech CTOs aren't prepared for the regulatory hurricane heading their way 😱 Below I've broken down the uncomfortable truth about DORA that could derail your EU market access, earn you incredibly bad press and destroy your hard work overnight if ignored: → Source code analysis you can't escape → Manual pen testing that goes WAY BEYOND the OWASP Top 10 → Vulnerability assessments on autopilot running every day, not as special "projects" → Threat-led pentesting utilizing social engineering techniques The reality? While your competitors are scrambling to stitch together 12 different tools from 4 vendors who hate talking to each other, you could get ahead with ONE solution. I've seen firsthand how shifting left with security automation can transform compliance from nightmare to competitive advantage. Would you rather spend the next 2 years in panic mode or building security into your CI/CD pipelines from day one? Three things you can and should do today: 1️⃣ Assess your current security automation capabilities 𝟸 Map your critical systems that fall under DORA's scope ⑶ Test your web app using the free Cyber Chief express scanner for an immediate security snapshot of your app. 💬 Comment "express scan" below and connect with me here so that I can DM you the link. #DORA #FinTechSecurity #ComplianceHacks #AppSec #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareDevelopment #SaaS #EnterpriseReady #7minuteSecurity

I have too many vulnerabilities, I don't want more. I just want to fix what I already have! Sound familiar? Almost every #softwareengineering leader I speak with feels this pressure. Even me. It’s like when the laundry piles up at home and your mind feels cluttered the moment you set foot inside. The secret that allowed us to break this cycle: making sure that we push a security pull request alongside EVERY feature PR. They go together like bread and garlic butter. The best Cyber Chief clients do this too. For those that do this consistently, they see that vulnerabilities get fixed >60% faster (50% according to Gartner, but we track real stats). Interestingly, once this process is bedded in, new feature development isn’t slowed down. Who would’ve thought that you actually have to put the laundry away for your baskets to look empty, huh?! What techniques to stay on top of patching have worked for your team? #SaaS #SaaSGrowth #DevSecOps #DevOps #SoftwareDevelopment #EngineeringLeadership

She was really mean to him yesterday. One of our clients called him the "7-minute man" 👀 Normally I would've tagged him here, but his fiancé reads my posts and I wouldn't want her seeing how our clients treat him! He was on 3 Cyber Chief onboarding calls yesterday - each scheduled for 30 minutes. By the end of the day, the average length of each call was 7 minutes and 19 seconds. That's how long it took those 3 SaaS companies to automate and start fixing API AND container AND cloud security risks. The contrasts are striking: 😞 Most companies spend 3-4 weeks implementing similar security tools 😥 There's added pain because such breadth of coverage usually requires multiple tools or open source frameworks 💪 Cyber Chief clients saved approximately 120+ hours of developer time (just during integration) and achieved this automation using just 1 solution Another shocked CTO actually asked, "is that it?!" when we finished in 7 minutes. It's as if he was pining to talk for a little longer - I guess you can't please everyone. But we're running with it - Cyber Chief is offiically the "7-minute AppSec tool" - thanks Rachel. If you're sick of endless attempts at integrating security into your #CICD pipelines. If you're sick of just finding vulnerabilities and actually want help patching them. If you want application and cloud security finished in minutes, not hours, DM me. 👇 (Or just click the link in the comments to use the free diagnostic to find out what you really need to do next to solve your AppSec problems) #DevSecOps #AppSec #ProductivityHack #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareDevelopment #SaaS #CTOlife #CISOlife #EnterpriseReady #

I religiously tracked how I waste at least 1 hour every day. The data was TERRIFYING (you'll really judge me at number 8): 1. Mentally rehearsing what I'd say to prospects who cancel meetings last minute 2. Falling into YouTube algorithm holes that start with "quick research" and end with conspiracy theories about underground civilizations 3. Spending 20 minutes crafting the "perfect" two-sentence email reply (x3 daily) 4. Checking my investment portfolio to see how much I've lost today (approximately every 12 minutes) 5. Googling symptoms of rare diseases when I feel a slight headache (convinced myself I had dengue fever last Tuesday) 6. Starting a "quick 20-min podcast" during lunch and somehow finishing 2 more episodes 7. Refreshing LinkedIn to see if my follower count increased in the last 17 minutes 8. Reading another "40 lessons you should learn before turning 40" listicle – I'm 41...I think? 🤦‍♂️ 9. Reading detailed reviews of supercars I have absolutely no intention of buying 10. Deliberating which task to start next for so long that I could have finished two of them 11. Spending hours on r/MouseReview comparing gaming mice despite not having played a PC game in 20 years If you're a #productivity ninja, save this list for the next time you need to procrastinate. If you're more like me, what's your #1 time-thief from this list? Or do you have a unique procrastination specialty I missed? 🫵 Tag someone who needs this reality check... we all know someone 😉 (Btw, the music in that video is 🔥, it's worth unmuting just for the music) #MasterfulTimeWasting #SecurityCanWait #PrioritiesOnPoint #ProcrastinationExcellence #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareDevelopment #DevOps #SaaS #SaaSGrowth

Facebook got all CREEPY on me yesterday. I think it's a teaching moment if you're building #AI agents (and asking for access to every weird and wonderful corner of users' lives). Here's what happened that gave me chills: 📱 Facebook had full acces to my iPhone photo gallery, found a recent picture of my son, superimposed it in my stories, and SUGGESTED I post it. The problem? My wife and I have DELIBERATELY never posted a single photo of our kids on social media. Not. Even. Once. This wasn't just an algorithm being helpful – it was an algorithm completely IGNORING my clearly established boundaries around my family's privacy. As someone who leads a dev team building AI agents, this crystallized something important for me: 💡 Tech shouldn't just ask "CAN we do this?" but "SHOULD we do this?" 🤔 Here are the guardrails I insist on with my #genAI team at Cyber Chief (I admit number 5 is potentially fanciful, but still important): 1️⃣ Respect established patterns - If a user has never posted certain content, don't suggest starting 2️⃣ Default to privacy - Just because you don't mind sharing, don't assume others are ok with it 3️⃣ Be transparent - Explain clearly what data you're accessing and why 4️⃣ Provide real control - Not just illusions of choice buried in settings 5️⃣ Make human judgment the final filter - Some suggestions should never make it to your user The future of AI isn't just about capabilities – it's about #RESPONSIBLEai capabilities. If that doesn't make sense, just not being fucking slimy would be a great start! To balance this from the other side, from personal experience I reckon companies like CleverTap, Zendesk AI agents (Ultimate), i-scribe are doing this really well. How do you enforce respect for boundaries when building #AI tools? #TechEthics #PrivacyMatters #ProductDevelopment #TechInnovation #SaaS #SaaSgrowth #agentic #dontbecreepy
