Great blog posts are sometimes hard to find (especially on Medium), so I decided to do a periodic list blog with my favorite posts of the past quarter or so.

Here is the next one. The posts below are ranked by lifetime views. This covers both Anton on Security and my posts from Google Cloud blog, and our Cloud Security Podcast too (subscribe).

Top 5 most popular posts of all times (these ended up being the same as last quarter):

1. “Security Correlation Then and Now: A Sad Truth About SIEM”
2. “Can We Have “Detection as Code”?”
