In my experience, and in the experience of many others as well, unfocused attempts at visualization over raw, unreduced data produce visualizations that are not particularly useful for security operations.

Tim hits the nail on the head here, there’s a very fine line between trying to weed out “fake” information, and outright censorship. “Fake news is apparently everywhere. All over Europe, legislators and officials are trying to regulate content with “fake news” legislation and directives, as though the term could somehow be narrowly-defined enough that…
Brett Burney is at the Master’s Conference this week, and aside from doing some blog entries about what he’s learning, he’s also doing some serious live-tweeting. I was keeping an eye on Brett’s ediscoveryinfo twitter account today. It wasn’t quite the same as being here, but I certainly felt like I had a pretty good…
