In this week's enterprise security news, we talk about new companies and funding, trends in the deception and SaaS Security/SSPM space. We discuss Andy Ellis's "10 plagues of cloud security" and Kelly Shortridge's 69 ways to F&$ up your deploy. We discuss rolling out Yubikeys and the pros/cons of using biometrics instead of security keys. There have been some bad takes in the media on how OpenAI uses your ChatGPT prompts, so we set the record straight there. Cybersecurity is a new requirement for K-12 students in North Dakota, and you've got to see this week's security story - a rogue tire sends a Kia Soul FLYING.

There's a lot of confusion and FUD going around on what is and isn't trained on when you use ChatGPT.
TL;DR: If you use ChatGPT's consumer interface (chat.openai.com), you are opted IN for your prompts being used to train/improve the service. There's a form you can fill out to opt OUT. (it's literally a Google form, which seems kinda janky, but it's pretty easy to opt out).
If you use OpenAI's API interface (api.openai.com), you are opted OUT for your input OR output data being used for training/improvement. There's a form you can use to opt IN.
