WHAT a life!! Margaret Hamilton, who lead the 100-person team that wrote the onboard software for the Apollo missions, guiding Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to a safe landing on the moon, died Sept. 30 in Cambridge, Mass. She was 90. Her death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her daughter, Lauren.

Thought of the day: Too many people are rushing to implement AI (LLM) on their networks without having any cogent IAM or DLP strategies in place to act as guardrails.

Interesting. It'll be curious to hear more, and to hear analysis on how this may affect the proposed US ban, if at all. I suspect it will at least inform any decision.

Woah. Canada orders TikTok Canada to shut down business operations in the country. Decision based on intel from security agencies and govt partners - citing major national security concerns.

I'm liking a lot about the Arista ZTNA solution being shown at #NFD36. My main concern is that without an agent on EUC devices, a full VPN-replacement strategy still might rely on a different product.

A lot of companies try to deploy ZTNA and quickly get bogged down in the details of identity, which is fundamental to micro-segmentation. That should be something you get built out before picking a ZTNA solution. #NFD36

Considering that ZTNA relies so heavily on segmentation, and segmentation tends to be a business problem, I'm interested to see how Arista solves this problem. #NFD36
