National Poetry Month – Cybersecurity Edition

April is National Poetry Month, a time when we can celebrate poets and their craft. To join in the celebrations, we at the State of Security asked employees at Tripwire and in the wider infosec community to create and share some of their favorite cybersecurity-related poems with us.

Here are some of our favorites from Twitter:

A couple of poems from Irfahn Khimji. The latter inspired by his inner Shakespeare!

Nice work, @TheRealKhimji!

There once was an S3 bucket left unsecured,
So much data that could be procured.
A simple alert could have theft prevented,
Stress on the SOC could have relented.

Next up, @anthony_id, @theorrminator, and @DaveG_Tripwire! #NationalPoetryMonth

A second entry from @TheRealKhimji. This time he shares his inner Shakespeare;

Vulnerability, vulnerability, wherefore art thou vulnerability?
Deny thy exploit and refuse thy access;
Or if thou wilt not be apply my sworn patch,
And I’ll no longer be Vulnerable. #ThisIsTripwire

If only Mary had that FIM solution…

Thanks, Paul Norris!

A new entry from, @pjnorris!

Mary had a little breach,
Her data was posted online,
If only she had a FIM solution,
She’d have been just fine…#ThisIsTripwire

Vulnerability gone
Endless risk remains (Read more...)
