Asking for Help is a Skill You Should Learn
What I am starting to learn, and Gary writes as well, is that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness but it might very well be an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to connect with other human beings at a personal level, it’s an opportunity to learn from the expertise of others, and an opportunity for them to put that knowledge to good use. It’s an opportunity to use that combined skill to create a better solution than I would have created by myself.
Most of all hard problems are an opportunity to work as a team or a community, something that we all need as human beings. Whether you are anxious and need a friend to support you, or you can’t find the answer to a vexing technical issue, or you simply need some help learning a new skill, it helps to have people around.
Linked – Microsoft leaks 38TB of private data via unsecured Azure storage
As the article mentions, Microsoft does not make it easy to manage SAS tokens in bulk. It’s pretty easy to have a bunch of Azure data blob storage items lying around for years with active SAS tokens that were totally forgotten about.
If you’re using SAS tokens to share data, and it’s good for that, remember to clean up after yourself.
Linked – Failure to prioritize security and train staff – not shallow talent pool – likely behind cyber workforce shortage
Organizations that like to complain about not being able to find talent but also don’t bother to develop it are just leeches on their industry. Do you want more people skilled in cybersecurity or any other skill you’re having trouble finding? Teach it. Develop it. Grow it.
It’s not easy, but that’s how you address a lack of skilled workers. Educational and systemic changes are going to take way too long.
