Wave MFA and device authentication and this better security along with managed SEDs with Wave could be preventing situations like this!!! Why is the U.S. so slow to get better security with Wave? Maybe other governments will order Wave’s solutions quicker and have their countries’ secrets protected before the U.S.?! That could give them the upper hand in cybersecurity!!!
Methinks I sense a ‘little’ sarcasm when you say 1 or 2 people being peeved:). The guy in this article is right that you need good authentication!! He probably doesn’t know about device authentication with Wave!! This zero trust that everyone is piling into with their cybersecurity to sell is turning into one big, ineffective, complicated mess that costs too much to not even get the job done like Wave does!!! I think Steven Sprague probably got so exasperated with the U.S. government for them going so much with Microsoft being the ‘leader’ in cybersecurity!! Look at Microsoft’s record on cybersecurity! If China and Japan go with a Linux based OS and their productivity suite with Wave’s protection they’ll have the U,S. by the balls!! Go ahead U.S. keep listening to Microsoft and not Wave!!! China still has a lot of Windows 7 machines that could protected with Wave and not have all this fancy BS software with Windows 11 and ADVERTISING!! Who needs all of that?? Just use a computers with activated TPMs and SEDs with Wave, Windows or Linux to get the job done simply!! China and Japan are not stupid. They’ll probably figure out first that Wave and hardware security is better because we keep jumping through hoops with complicated and expensive cybersecurity!!
Methinks, I think Wave could help Elon and India with secure smartphones if India got these smartphones. I saw on BBC all these fisherman dragging nets along the beach and they collectively made $35!! What if somebody invested in nice boats for them they could catch so much more fish!!! Smartphones made by Samsung/Tesla could help these people so much!!! They could communicate while they are out on a nice boat!! They work so hard for $35 a day!!!
Methinks, I think Wave could really help Tesla as Wave was born in a little building in Lee MA and years ago I took a ride up there with my mother and her husband and drove up to this little building and I said to my mother, “This company is going to be the next Microsoft!” She chuckled and my dad always used to see me post for years on my computer!! He let me dream!! Wave is just too good for them to not to make a comeback and help the world with its subpar (to put it mildly) security!! I think eveyone loves Elon because he is for the environment and making the world a safer place and he is for free speech!! And my mother says he loves his little son X!! My dad was a staunch liberal and my mother is a Trump diehard, but they both love Elon!! I just wish he’d be nicer to his employees and give some of his big pay package in bonuses to them!! They bust their ass for him!! I’d be a happier shareholder if he did that and I would like to see Billy Solms and Lexi Sprague lend their minds to the Wave cause!! Okay I’ll stop dreaming now!! GO WAVE!!!!
The U.S. government gave Microsoft a multi billion dollar contract for HoloLens and gave Wave next to nothing after I’m sure Bill Solms and Steven Sprague probably already explained ad nauseum about what Wave could do for the U.S government and they didn’t give Wave any even remotely substantial contracts and Wave goes bankrupt!! Either the government doesn’t have the balls to stand up to Microsoft or someone in the government stupidly decided to give Microsoft HoloLens contract?? Either way, it pisses me off and probably a lot of people who knew of Wave’s potential to help the U.S.!!
I totally agree Methinks!! What is going to happen to the U.S. Army if they don’t listen to Wave and Bill Solms about what Wave has to offer!! Well, I think the Chinese Army or other Armies could be open to Wave as Elon has gotten the Chinese to open up to American companies!! Wave has gone bankrupt and been that way for a long time and they probably wouldn’t have been if the U.S. government rightly gave Wave some contracts and the U.S. wants to have AI protect the ARMY!! I say they can have AI and now give the Chinese/Lenovo get the chance with Wave!! The U.S. wants to continue to be stupid with its security decisions, I think Wave should give the Chinese and Japanese an opportunity to dominate in security with Wave!! FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!!!
Now the paragraph below came from an article in defense scoop!! Why isn’t the Army using device authentication with Wave? I bet that Bill Solms would be the perfect guy to explain that to the Army!! It would keep the bad guys off the network instead of trying to hunt them down!! PREVENTION with Wave!!!
https://defensescoop.com/2023/11/30/army-moving-away-from-compliance-based-cybersecurity/
As part of this push, the Army wants to better integrate the functions of cybersecurity and cybersecurity operations — which in some circles are thought of as defensive cyber ops that seek to be more proactive and hunt malicious activity on the network rather than being more reactive to threats
Zero trust??? I have zero trust in the companies in this list to protect organizations!!! Why? Because what is their record over the last 5 or 10 years? There has been MANY data breaches and A LOT of ransomware on their watch!! Ok they say they stop 99% of breaches or 99.9% but what about that 1% or .1% of attacks getting through. Why should we believe in all this COMPLICATED zero trust now?? Trusted computing and Wave makes a lot more sense to implement and protect us!! Zero trust is for the birds!!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/okta-warns-of-unprecedented-credential-stuffing-attacks-on-customers/amp/
Wow, how many companies use Okta?? It’s time to get device authentication and Wave MFA and MAKE THE SWITCH TO WAVE!!! OKTA SUCKS!!!
Methinks, don’t you think organizations with the drive space available on computers organizations could download Linux OS with an Office like productivity software and Linux would probably want Wave for security so they could expand Linux’s market share!! Wave could also tailor its security to Linux along with Windows because the TPMs are on almost all of these Microsoft and Google computers!! Are organizations getting tired of Microsoft’s security blunders and possibly want to go with better security in Wave and in Linux? Wave is interoperable so computers with Linux or Windows should work with Wave!!!
https://www.pymnts.com/cybersecurity/2024/microsoft-doubles-down-on-cybersecurity-to-safeguard-connected-economy/
What is Microsoft doing for ‘trustworthy’ computing, a term that Bill Gates came up with after Steven Sprague and Wave had come up with Trusted Computing!! I believe Bill Gates had to come up with that term to put Microsoft’s stamp on TC!! Did Microsoft ever recommend that these TPMs be turned on along with activating SEDs while Wave could manage both? No, Microsoft said we should use Hardware Security Modules which aren’t built in like TPMs and cost money. Yes Microsoft made TPMs mandatory for Windows 11, but I believe HSMs lock you into Microsoft’s security unlike Wave, TPMs and interoperable security!! Now Microsoft is focused on the consumer!! What happened to the TCG and it promoting the TPM and SED standards to PROTECT ORGANIZATIONS?? Steve Hanna who is a distinguished scientist is now focused on the consumer bandwagon when organizations are losing billions because we are not activating TPMs along with using Wave!! Steve Hanna was SO GREAT for the TCG!! If SKS is not into crypto well he should be the CEO of Wave!! Bill Solms could be the COO and one of the best salesmen, but Steven is Wave along with all the brilliant old and new employees!! Microsoft should give up on Bitlocker and integrate the SED instead. The SED is just better!!! Wave can manage these SEDs and Microsoft should go 50 50 with Wave’s management of SEDs given Wave has all the know how or Wave can just explode new Chromebook organization sales to the upside with SED management!! Has Bill Gates really done Wave any favors?? Well he should now given his AI co pilot security strategy is going to go in the toilet when compared to Wave’s device authentication, WEM and SED management prowess!!!
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/finance/news/wave-systems-ceo-bill-solms-143832710.html
Probably an oldie but goodie!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-fixes-bug-behind-incorrect-bitlocker-encryption-errors/amp/
Bitlocker vs SEDs….. this is an interesting article on Bitlocker!! I like SEDs and they are built in!! And they’re faster than Bitlocker!!
https://therecord.media/standard-chartered-ceo-bill-winters-cybersecurity-culture-board-focus
WOW, this bank and other banks could use Wave BIG TIME!! They mentioned phishing be a major problem and Wave can prevent phishing!! I seem to remember Lord Renwick being a big advocate for Wave in the UK!! And Methinks you mentioned NHS having Wave!! And Wave beat the competition for 2FA with a 150,000 seat financial services company!! It seems that someone who is great in sales like Bill Solms could close this deal in a heart beat!!!
https://techxplore.com/news/2024-04-scientists-unveil-cybersecurity.amp
In the article it mentioned the ‘ability to extract the Secret AES encryption key’. The TPM is hardware and has a public key and a private key and that together is stronger than extracting this ‘secret AES encryption key’ like in this article’. I believe that is one of the advantages of the TPM and one of the reasons that secrets should be held in the TPM!! SKS is the genius who could explain this to a visionary like Elon Musk!! Dell, Lenovo, Hewlett Packard, Google and Microsoft built them into their machines for them to remain turned off and have the world’s cybersecurity do a terrible job of protecting data, devices and data??? Wave can turn them on at scale and have a BIG POSITIVE impact on this world!! Wave is interoperable so if Wave is not doing a good job other companies can compete!!

Pretty soon, we won’t need doctors!! Internists will just be able to look up all the answers with AI!! No one will have to think, robots will do the procedures!! No one will have to waste time in medical school and we can trust Microsoft with these AI outcomes!! (that was sarcasm Methinks) Microsoft needs to have real security with Wave so this data that is being analyzed doesn’t get into the wrong hands!!! WAVE COULD BE HELPING FOLKS!!! If AI is going to be used, I think Google with their AI and others should be double checking with more than one doctor’s thinking based on medical school and the real books they’ve learned from not just a computer spitting out answers!! IMO. Wave’s authentication could reveal when doctors decisions are made solely on AI and not on doctors practicing good medicine!! Doctor’s use of AI or using WebMD could be helped if everyone was authenticated to the network!! Patients should know if the doctors decision came from an AI answer or from a doctor’s background and education. IMO
Methinks, in the last post about Coke and Microsoft and you go hmmmm!! People thought Elon was nuts in that he was thinking that the electric car was going to be the ‘Wave’ of the future!! Now I just can’t figure out why Wave and Trusted Computing hasn’t become like the electric car!! BTW, my Subaru runs fine but all the dashboard lights are coming on again!! Maybe it’s programmed so I have to bring it into the dealership so they can soak me for a couple grand!! No thanks, I’ll stick with my friend who has a diagnostic tool!!! Boy I can hardly wait to get a Tesla!! Maybe after all these organizations who have put up with their cybersecurity failing, they’ll read that link from 2011 with Steven Sprague and say, “hey maybe we should have listened to that guy 13 years ago and we should be paying attention to him now!!” That is if SKS’s brain is back in Waveland (genius) and not in cryptoland(stupid)!!
https://news.microsoft.com/2024/04/23/the-coca-cola-company-and-microsoft-announce-five-year-strategic-partnership-to-accelerate-cloud-and-generative-ai-initiatives/
Coke should spend $50+ million with Wave and get WAY MORE bang for the buck and better security than this agreement with Microsoft!!! They could still buy non cloud productivity software (Office) from Microsoft at about $50 a pop and make out much better than having all this AI cloud and security co pilot software!! Coke could have Trust at the Edge of the network with Wave and device authentication rather than all this cloud hacker targeted business with Microsoft. Don’t waste so much money with Microsoft Coke!!! This AI with Microsoft hasn’t even proven itself to be cost effective and secure!! Wave is proven and Microsoft has proven it can be hacked many times over!! How much efficiency is Microsoft creating or other headaches in the process of regulations coming down the pike!! I don’t know that Coke shareholders are going to be very happy with you guys paying Microsoft this much!!!
Methinks, there was once a thing that Wave had called CharityWave!!! I donate a little to the Salvation Army because my grandfather said that when he was a soldier in the Army that the Salvation Army was the only ones helping them during the War. And my father before he passed would donate to The Hunger Project!! Too bad CharityWave wasn’t up and running because I feel like when I donate I get so much more mail asking to donate (and that must cost a lot for postage and waste so much paper) and it seems like instead of all these celebrities having all these products being marketed that they could also market something like CharityWave so we aren’t wasting all this mail!! I think that Wave with the penguin and them buying Wave.com out of bankruptcy was pretty cool!! Glad you are still posting Methinks!!!
Clicking on the link on the last post and then clicking on the link to learn about Wave I think is cool!! Wave Systems WAVXQ may not own the Wave.com address and wavesys.com was the old link that used to be up so I think that wave.com business is really cool!! I hope they’re still in business!! Nice to see something good come out of bankruptcy even if the wavesys.com comeback can’t be realized!! LOOKS COOL TO ME!!!
https://www.securitysolutionswatch.com/Interviews/in_Boardroom_WAVX.html
It infuriates me that the market went with Microsoft security and not Wave security!! This article many years later just shows that Wave was really the thought leader in security and the market just plain didn’t for whatever reason did not use Wave in masse!! There were about 500 million enterprise PCs with TPMs in them!! Now there are over 2 billion PCs with TPMs in them!! People who are interested in real cybersecurity should read this article!! SKS was way ahead of everybody and now TPMs have completely saturated the market so now would be a good time to activate them with Wave and get better security!!
Methinks, do you remember many years ago when SKS had Scrambls promoted on an electrical race car!! I know you are into Formula One, but I wonder if Elon Musk knew that SKS was thinking electric racing cars were the next big thing!!! I’m sure that Elon and SKS could be good buddies also given because his father Peter Sprague was the CEO of Aston Martin many years ago!! I’d love to sit in on their conversation about Tesla, Twitter, Wave and Trusted Computing!! Or just be a fly on the wall!!! Shareholders didn’t like SKS when he did that promotion, but SKS was just ahead of his time with new technologies!! And look where electric cars are years later!! Or look where Tesla is with FSD and their cars!!!
https://www.axios.com/2024/04/26/microsoft-earnings-cybersecurity-hacks
Does this mean that Microsoft is going to finally stand behind TPMs and SEDs and their activation as the TCG (and Microsoft is part of the TCG) promotes TPMs over HSMs which Microsoft promoted in its Secure Future Iniative?? Is Microsoft going to push for Trusted Computing or take short cuts and not think outside the box that TC could be better for security and the bottom line in the long run. So much emphasis on building data centers and the cloud is going to burn holes in Microsoft’s pockets and be a Huge target for hackers!! Microsoft’s brand needs to have a better brand with Wave security!!! Bill Gates wanted ‘trustworthy’ computing back in 2002. Now look at what Microsoft accomplished with security in the last 10 years without Wave!! Pretty sad Microsoft!!!
Methinks and others, just had this thought!! WhatsApp is going to have fingerprints and facial recognition for automatic login for Apple iPads. Why not use Lexi SPRAGUE’s chadder instead of WhatsApp on Wave’s platform with just a pin and Wave’s security so the government can’t have a picture of your face! and fingerprint!! Seems like Chadder was a better idea than WhatsApp and Facebook paid 19 billion for WhatsApp. Wave and Chadder should be worth a lot more than $19 billion!! Hey maybe Elon would want to own Chadder, but don’t think it’s going to be cheap Elon because there would probably be other happy buyers for a good price!!
https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/26/thoma-bravo-to-take-uk-cybersecurity-company-darktrace-private-in-5b-deal/amp/
I would like to know if this AI can truly prevent hackers from being on the network like device authentication and Wave can?! Sounds like AI helps, but can’t really get the job done like Wave can!! If Thomas Bravo really knew what Wave could do, they’d probabably have to spend in upwards of $20 billion to get all of their technology!! I don’t think they could afford Wave with what Steven Sprague knows about Wave and the HUGE positive impact Wave could have on cybersecurity. This AI stuff is still unproven to fully get the job done!! I’m sure SKS would want to reward the shareholders after what he has put them through, I don’t think he would want REALLY MAD shareholders who sacrificed for him and Wave!!! I think SKS knows SO MUCH that if the on Wave knowledge switch clicked in his brain well ESW would like that and pay shareholders very well or maybe the on Wave switch doesn’t come on in SKS’s brain and ESW misses out on SKS the genius behind Wave!!!
Methinks, I believe that Wave had state of the art many years ago as Tesla did, but apparently Elon was more clever than SKS running the business or maybe if SKS was given more time without Microsoft needlessly crushing Wave and now look what kind of security we have without Wave !! Not good!! BTW my Subaru has about 100k miles on it and if I didn’t have my good friend mechanic helping me out the car would have cost a boat load more!! I’ve already spent thousands of dollars at the dealership with maintenance and repairs. And a few weeks ago, every light on the dashboard came on and all it really needed was a new battery and my friend said those lights could come on again!! When my dashboard lit up, I almost didn’t know what to do!! The Subaru is a pretty good car, but I think Tesla is the Wave of the future!!!
Methinks, I think Tesla, Twitter or X and Wave could be quite the combination. Wave was one of the founders in Trusted Computing and we all know that Tesla is the best in electric cars!! And why would you buy a gasoline powered car with all the emissions BS that you have to go through with the check engine light going on when the car gets older and thus have it not go through emmissions!! That can be an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!
Anatomy IT’s Security Suite expansion aligns with the National Institute of Standard Technology’s (NIST) five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover
This was from your article Methinks!! Instead of these five core functions, why not make it simple with Wave and just PREVENT these cyber attacks!!! Wave is simple, it keeps the hacker off of networks, protects devices and data!! Simple yet secure as you rightly said a long time ago!!!
https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/25/24139914/microsoft-cyber-security-incidents-trust-report
And Microsoft needs Wave to get back that trust!! Come off your high horse and cooperate with Wave!! It could save your company’s reputation!! Rubrik doesn’t get the job done like Wave does and this NIST 2.0 that you probably had a hand in doesn’t prevent hackers from getting on networks like Wave does. So bag Rubrik and partner with Wave!!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13341381/amp/Elon-Musks-X-hit-worldwide-outage.html
It would be good if Twitter (X) employees had Wave’s MFA and if customers had TPMs activated as well with Wave software!! Steven Sprague and Wave could save X, Tesla, Space X from data being stolen by keeping hackers off their networks!! There is too much at stake to not be using Wave’s proven security!!
https://www.meritalk.com/articles/recovering-from-a-cyberattack-the-role-of-data-backups-in-nists-cybersecurity-framework-2-0/
Rubrik does the cleanup of cyber attacks and I believe Microsoft is its biggest investor. Why not invest in Wave and managing SEDs with encrypted back up drives rather than the Rubrik cloud!! Investing in Wave prevents cyberattacks, Microsoft/Rubrik just is another way to spend money on cyber cleanup!! Microsoft gets you coming and going!! Get better security, get Wave!!!
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2024/04/24/iranians_charged_cyber_espionage/
Is it time for Wave Security or what? We waste so much money TRYING to bring these hackers to justice when we could be using Wave to prevent these crimes!!
They have ‘pro active’ monitoring’. How about prevention of hackers getting onto the network with Wave!!’
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2024/04/23/mandiant_orgs_are_detecting_cybercrims/
Mandiant, why don’t you interview Wave and see how you can get the dwell time to ZERO!! Google (your parent) is part of the TCG and should know what Wave and Wave’s MFA can do with device authentication!! KEEP THE BAD GUYS OFF THE NETWORK BY USING WAVE!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dprk-hacking-groups-breach-south-korean-defense-contractors/
I wonder if the U.S defense industry along with the DOD is using protection like the South Koreans? I have a suggestion…. Use Wave!!!
https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/04/23/cybersecurity-colleges-universities/
What have these $100,000 a year universities taught about real cybersecurity? Well judging by how poor we are at protecting data at organizations: not much!! Robert Thibadeau from Wave I believe taught at Carnegie Mellon. Obviously they didn’t pay attention to him or Wave!! If these universities want to teach about better cybersecurity in the world that will make a BIG POSITIVE difference then teach about Trusted Computing, SEDs and TPMs that are activated and what Wave can do. There’s a lot of AI cyber defense that is just plain nonsense at getting the job done!! Zero trust, firewalls, and anti virus fall into that nonsense category too!! Hey colleges teach about cybersecurity that works!! Teach about Wave and Trusted Computing!!!
https://thehackernews.com/2024/04/microsoft-warns-north-korean-hackers.html?m=1
Ok now Microsoft give us a recommendation what stops spearphishing attacks that are made more efficient by AI!! No it’s not your security with co pilot AI. What works against spearphishing is Wave MFA!! When is Microsoft going to start using WAVE MFA and Wave Endpoint Monitor or partner up with Wave? Is that going to be before or after all our government systems and other critical industries in the world are hacked?
Oh and Symantec shows up in the the article ala Norton Antivirus!! They are just about as good as Microsoft at stopping cyberattacks. They both seem like they are good at finally discovering these cyber attacks, but they’re not as good as Wave at preventing them!! No we don’t have to keep testing who has better security. Wave does!! Before we keep getting hacked, use Wave!!!
https://securityboulevard.com/2024/04/the-10-women-in-cybersecurity-you-need-to-follow/amp/
If these brilliant women learned what Wave and Trusted Computing could do they probably would want to come work for Wave!!!
Why doesn’t SKS and the old Wave help ESW to start cranking with ESW then have everyone come back to court and fairly settle up with the shareholders, employees, creditors and Wave/ESW!!! ESW and Wave could be saving the world right now!!!
