Red Sentry

Final part of our RSAC mini mics 🎤

During the happy hour we co-hosted with Rippling and Johanson Group LLP at RSAC Conference, the conversation somehow turned into:
– mustaches in IT
– why “I’m not trying to sell you anything” immediately sounds suspicious
– the importance of keeping humans in the loop in cybersecurity
– and AI bots intentionally programmed to tell terrible jokes

Honestly, probably the most accurate summary of RSAC possible 😭

One of the best parts of this series was seeing people drop the polished conference mode for a minute and just have real conversations. That’s exactly the vibe we wanted.

Huge shoutout to our very own Max Turner for hosting the mini mic chaos all week long.

And big thanks to everyone who stopped by to share a thought, a hot take, or just a laugh with us ❤️

Most companies treat SOC 2 like a stressful annual scavenger hunt.
But what happens when compliance becomes operational instead of manual?

Tomorrow, we’re dropping a new episode of Ctrl-Alt-Secure with Emma Lawler and AJ Yawn from Rippling, where we dive into:
• Why traditional compliance drains teams
• How automation changes the audit experience
• The role of first-party data in modern GRC
• Why auditor independence still matters
• What it looks like to engineer compliance instead of chasing screenshots

A really interesting conversation on where compliance and security operations are headed next.

Full episode drops tomorrow. Stay tuned!
