6: If you're like me, you get calls from multiple vendors a day. Write down the name of the vendors you talked to and a brief recap of what they offer, so when they do call, you don't need the intro pitch all over again.

5: Don't be a swag jerk. Don't swoop in and start grabbing everything from every table. Ask the vendors if you can have that hat/socks/bottle. Most will be glad to get rid of it so they don't have to take it back with them.

4: Vendors are obviously sales people, but are looking at connecting with people that they can have an ongoing relationship with. Don't waste their time, acting like you are interested just to get your hands on that Yeti.

I'm all for not glamorizing criminal activity, but much like an organization's front line needs to be aware, so does the public. Naming an event '2025-US/SLTT012' doesn't have the same grab as 'Scattered Spider' when alerting the public on what to be aware of. Rock and hard place kind of position.

This can not be overstated enough: This is a major national and global cybersecurity risk. Without appropriate CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) managament and updates, we don't know what flaws exist, how serious they are, and how to take action to mitigate them.
BREAKING.
From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.
