Here's a photo of ISC's Petr Špaček giving his "Brace for Upgrades - Plural" talk at #RIPE92 last week, as well as a slide from his presentation. The bottom line: streamline your deployment processes, because you're going to need to update often to keep up with the onslaught of AI-discovered vulnerabilities. (And if you're a researcher, please don't just submit slop reports! ISC and the other open source vendors are doing our best to triage everything, but we need your help.)

ISC's Director of DNS Engineering, Ondřej Surý, spoke at last week's #RIPE92 conference on "DNS, Transitive Trust and How Many is Many." It was an interactive presentation with lots of interesting insights and discussion. Watch the recording or read the transcript at https://lnkd.in/eEpERU2D

ISC engineer Petr Špaček recently gave a talk at RIPE 92 in Edinburgh on the impact LLMs are having on some open source projects: "Brace for Updates." It is short and pithy, and it may resonate with a lot of you in FOSS.... It also ties in with our recent blog post: https://lnkd.in/eB-Q-BHt https://lnkd.in/eUfaPu6n

If you haven't seen it yet, we recently posted a blog about how to report a security vulnerability in a way that is helpful and meaningful. Our marketing team is 100% nicer and more restrained than our development team would have been. Read between the lines, people 😉 https://lnkd.in/gqGFjhnn
