Either you obtained your degree in the past year where the degree covered the term quishing (in which case I would call your industry experience into question), or you obtained it earlier (in which case I would call it's relevance to an emerging term into question). The point remains the same, pointing to a degree is silly and doesn't help your case.
QR code attacks have existed a lot longer than a year, as has the "marketing" term "quishing". Regardless, these silly words weren't on the syllabi. The only place I've seen them used outside of the occasional story like this is in KnowBe4's annual Kevin Mitnick approved training material.
Then you should have led with that. Not talk about a degree and couple it with the concept of 30 year history in the same sentence.
Why start an e-peen contest right out of the gate?
Your next certificate should be one in how to develop a compelling argument, you could use some work there as clearly you could have made your original point far stronger.
Not really, my original point was "making up all these silly words is dumb". That same complaint would have been equally valid coming from Bob in accounting who is forced to sit through compliance training every year.
You are an expert.
Well, at least we agree on that.
By pretending it doesn't exist you end up being no better than those people who spend their lives calling their monitor their computer, and their computer the HDD. You need to be able to communicate with others at their level, and ignoring words they use...
Or, I can educate them instead of treating them like toddlers.
Jump aboard the quishing train or stay in irrelevance town.
Oh, bless your heart.
Those terms are used in industry, but not by anyone who does the actual work.
Preach!
Since then, I went ahead and got another Masters in CS from Georgia Tech... I like to keep my skill set up to date.
Earning 5 degrees (and stacks of certs) over the years doesn't just mean I have paperwork... it shows dedication to continuing education and being really good at what I do.
However, even if we pretend none of that matters... my team is spread across three continents and I am in direct communication with people in a dozen countries on the daily. I've worked for governments at the county, state, and federal level as well as the military in addition to private sector. I've been around.
Yeah, it's a big industry (mind-boggling big, even)... and those of us that take it seriously don't make up new cutesy little words every time bad actors take social engineering to a new platform.
That's a strange way of saying you've never met anyone that actually works in security. Where do you think these silly terms came from in the first place. A quick google search of the term will tell you that it's already a thing, you can get onboard with nomenclature used or you can forever be considered that one stubborn person who has trouble communicating with others.
Weird... and here I thought my Masters in Information Assurance and 3 decades of experience actually meant something all this time.
I feel like the new cyber security words are all made up by CompTIA so to sell people new Security+ text books.
This. I imagine KnowBe4 has a hand in it as well in order to sell annual "security" training.
I like both apps, but I rely on Waze for long distance trips...
That's funny, because Waze is supposed to be geared towards commuters while Google Maps is supposed to be geared towards long trips. In fact, at one time Waze would refuse to even calculate a route longer than so many miles.
If people want to file for some kind of government sanctioned and operated legal construct that may or may not carry with it some legal obligations and/or entitlements, let them do that.
You mean, like, two people would enter in to contract with each other? We could even have a special name for that legally recognized union of two people and after they enter into the contract, the government would have it recorded
Splendid idea!
States can accept/reject DST any time they want. There's nothing stopping them.
True story... however they can not reject standard time and stay an hour ahead all year. This is why we're all waiting for congress to do something.
