&gt; Don’t ever call anything a plain name, use acronyms liberally, like PAM, XDR, SaaS<p>This is such a disease in all forms of tech. Acronyms only ever have a reason to exist if you need to repeat something very often. Of course you started to use the long form at first even if you are very sure about the audience. I assume that GRC means Golden Retriever Club as it is the most popular usage in my country according to Google. The compliance stuff sounds boring.<p>&gt; Do a Risk Assessment<p>Disagree here although I am indeed not a security expert, but in software for security critical applications like in medicine this is an extremely important step. Also useful to determine if you need another questionable security solution. Of course it shouldn&#x27;t be an answer to everything but it would really help the security industry to evaluate the dangers before bringing up a solution.

Here are some of the weakness found with blockchaining (at least in Bitcoin).<p>Even after I prototyped them all, I am still not an expert.<p>Compilation by @Deadalnix of Twitter.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;egbert.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;articles&#x2F;bitcoin-vulnerabilities.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;egbert.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;articles&#x2F;bitcoin-vulnerabilities.htm...</a>
