Only one Too Long; Did Read post this week, The State of XIoT report for 1H 2022 by Claroty s Team82. The content and analysis of this report was uneven. There is a lot to commend the team for, but also significant sections that left me shaking my head. This is a reimagining of previous reports, [ ] The post You don t have to be an expert, but it helps Team82 State of XIoT 1H22 appeared first on…
The Thursday edition of Too Long; Did Read focuses on Fortinet s Global Threat Landscape Report for the first half of 2022. In my experience, 7-8 weeks to go from data collection to a published report is a relatively tight deadline, but it means this data is still timely. I applaud Fortinet for making this report [ ] The post I wanted to like this report, but Fortinet Global Threat Landscape…
My first report for this week s Too Long; Did Read is titled Identity Access Management: The First Line of Defense by Unit 42 and Prisma Cloud.

Who should read this? Marketing and content creation teams might gain some insight from this report. It is primarily aimed at people trying to connect to CISOs after all. I would suggest that marketing teams skip straight to page 22 (or is it 39?) and the section titled 'Reaching Your Audience'. There are a significant number of 'Marketing Takeaways' that may contain nuggets of wisdom for their…
While the content of the report is excellent, it needs more copy editing and better layout. It's clearly a labor of love by the technical teams at Meta, rather than a marketing team trying to make an impression. This is aimed at a technical audience and not something you're likely to talking about with the CSO or other executives; they'll want you to do something with the information, not take…
I m repurposing the initialism TL: DR to mean Too Long: Did Read . I have been writing industry reports since 2015 and reading them far longer, which gives me a wealth of experience to assess the content of industry reports so you don t have to.

This post was originally published on March 31, 2022 on the Snyk blog, Daughter + Dad: Coming Out As Transgender My daughter came out to my wife and me as a transgender individual nearly five years ago.
