Layoffs in CSO

Heard about surplus within the org from old coworker. I believe all impacted individuals have been notified. Sorry to everyone impacted, wanted to share.

They already had mobile key authenticator

Previously many has RSA physical tokens but they said that was too expensive. So went to RSA software tokens. Now back to hardware tokens and magically they claim that's more secure again?

Still hiring in Charlotte but only people who used to work for AIG or Wells Fargo because baich only wants losers who used to s@ck up to him on the payroll.

Don't count on any security coming from cso. Told people to enable "windows hello" which allows a short pin to unlock a PC. How's that more secure than some 15 alpha numric special character password global login that you previously had to use? But that's the security expected from Wells Fargo type breaches.

Probably Deats?

There were a lot of skilled people in CSO that have left over the years. Regime change. Then they brought in hacks who are compliant to act like they are making changes and look busy. They already had mobile key authenticator app which was previously available on the public app store. The vendor is charging 60-100 per ubikey so CSO executives can act like they know what they're doing. Ubikey makes sense in very sensitive positions but not across the enterprise. Funny enough, now they are migrating to Entra ID authenticator which is basically MS authenticator anyone can download. I guess they didn't run the numbers on cost.

Cso is a joke.. all they do is send emails saying your applications are not compliant because of this issue. When asked for a remedy.. they don't have a first damn clue.

And identity and access mgmt people classified as cybersecurity engineers is the biggest joke. If any organization should be outsourced completely.. its cso.. handing out yubi keys has been their biggest achievement

CSO is notorious for NVW at the director level. Check them in webphone.

There is still so much dead weight in CSO.

@ae CSO, or he would have said CS&O.

Heard there were a couple dozen in CSO affecting Hamilton, Hayes, and one other (whose name escapes me, even though it was the heaviest hit).

CSO or CS&O? CS&O was notified a few weeks ago.

CSO as in Chief Security Office? If so, curious who was impacted since I just took a role there.
