Happy #GlobalEncryptionDay! Attackers rarely break the math. They steal the keys or exploit the implementation. Thank you to the cryptographers and engineers who get the math, the keys, and the implementation right, so stolen data stays unreadable. 🔐 #Encryption #InfoSec

Happy #InternationalEthicalHackersDay! Attackers never ask permission. Ethical hackers do, then break your systems on purpose and hand you a report instead of a breach. Thank you for the adversarial collaboration that stops real attacks. 🤘🏽 #EthicalHacking #InfoSec

Yesterday, Sep 13, was #ProgrammersDay! The 256th day of the year, since 256 is the number of distinct values in an 8-bit byte. 🤓 Every tool we rely on in security, from SIEM to scanner, started as code. To the programmers behind it all, thank you. 🙏🏽 #InfoSec #CyberSecurity

On this day in 1947, a moth stuck in the Harvard Mark II gave us the term "bug". Today, testers still hunt bugs, and some end up in a CVE instead of a logbook. Happy International #TestersDay to everyone who finds the flaw before an attacker does. #InfoSec #CyberSecurity

It's #AIAppreciationDay! Let's celebrate the tech, and make sure to use it safely: 🎯 Use AI for the right tasks, not every task 🧐 Question outputs, don't blindly trust them 🔒 Keep sensitive data out of public LLMs ✅ Humans make the final call, always #CyberSecurity #AI
