Celebrate #ITProDay!
4 things IT pros know:
🔑 "Password123" breaks the policy
🔓 Admin rights aren't a reward
📵 Shadow IT: app unapproved, used anyway
🛡️ "Update later" is how breaches start
Thanks to the IT pros keeping everything up and running! 🙌🏽

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. 🙏🏽

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.

Happy #WorldWideWebDay! 🌐
35+ years online. The risks grew with it. A few safe browsing habits:
🔗 Verify both URL and padlock (HTTPS).
🛡️ Keep browser updated and only use trusted extensions.
🔑 Use a password manager and activate MFA everywhere.

Happy #SysAdminDay to the heroes keeping us online!
3 truths sysadmins will love:
🔁 Reboot before calling. They'll ask anyway.
📧 That "urgent" ticket filed at 4:58pm on Friday.
🖥️ The server from 2019. Nobody touches it. Nobody dares.
Thanks for all you do. 🙏🏽

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
