Not great as it does break workflows for some.

Their products are cool and I've been happy with them over the years, but their blog right now has had some blunders recently. Also their reliability seems to have been having trouble but does seem better recently.
One account gets compromised and your doomed. A lot of companies even have prod access be a request based system. Most modern security models with zero trust don't let everyone have access to everything, quite the opposite.

Hmm. I thought all these agencies say NOT to pay a ransom.
I suspected as much as it disappeared from the ShinnyHunters page and it recovered so fast. The main thing I'm interested in knowing was how much was paid. Also I don't really like their statement that the data is safe or destroyed, those promises seem a little questionable with regards to these incidents.
AI right now feels like the go to for anything and everything that was tedious for humans to do or that took quite a bit of expense. What people seem to struggle to realize is that those exact things that they offload to AI are exactly what made their stuff reliable and well known like Cisco.
