They don’t show up, or show up late.

It could absolutely wreck my immigration status.
Will I mentor people locally and run clinics there? Absolutely. But people tip me for this and it could be seen as a visa violation.

Lesley Carhart :unverified:@infosec.exchangeOPtoCybersecurity@fedia.io•Incident response plants are incredibly important for both IT and OT cybersecurity. They guide you in stressful crises, and aid in both tactical procedures and decision making.0·7 months ago@faffinaboot @mikebabcock this. Look, a plan that lists your retainer contact information, who is in charge, and a first hour’s steps is a plan. I get calls every week from orgs that don’t have this much. Many go out of business. Some are in tears realizing this fact, when IR firms tell them it will be a two week wait to get help with no agreements in place. It’s something that has a cost, but you just can’t afford not to do. It’s like cheaping out on smoke alarms. Something, anything.
And I’m booked. Thank you to everyone who came to see me and shared their successes with me over the years.
