So it is the Sec, meaning secure and govern, growth, and

Past simple

data science, meaning applied ML, MLOps, and anti-abuse.

Um, and, uh, that's our meeting for, uh, September 14th or 15th in APAC.

Don't make it a habit to come to this meeting since it's really late for you.

Uh, I've got a lot of things on the agenda today because of some of this.

Uh, so apologies for that, but I think it's going to go down over time.

Based on feedback, I'll work—I'm going to work to do more summarized communications to improve the signal-to-noise re-ratio in my communications to groups of people, including this group of people.

Uh, this will result in, for this group, adding more items to our staff meeting agenda, often as we only, rather than posting to our Slack channel.

And I am going to be assuming that people leaders on the team will attend this meeting or read the notes and not rely on the Slack channel.

B is a read-only item unless anybody wants to discuss it.

Um, welcome, Alan, uh, to the—to the meeting.

Um, I've asked Alan to step in as acting full-stack manager for security policies, um, while I hire an EM.

Um, Alan has graciously accepted, um, this, this wonderful opportunity.

Uh, so anti-abuse is moving product sections from Sec to data science.

Um, data science is effectively a rename of the model ops, uh, section.

Um, the existing model ops, which has three groups in it, which Mon can talk more about, and, um, uh, the anti-abuse stage, which only currently has one group, which is called anti-abuse.

Uh, I think at some point there are plans to split anti-abuse into two groups,

And, uh, we're working through all the changes around that.

There's lots of workday changes, lots of handbook changes.

Mon, did you want to say anything more about data science or model ops?

I think for us, we just roll up to, uh, data science.

Uh, we still have the two main groups, applied ML, MLOps, and

So in E, thanks, Thomas, uh, for continuing to compile and report on across all of my teams that I'm responsible for in the engineering allocation meeting on error budgets and reliability and security incidents.

He does have—he does half of these now.

apologies for the noise if I keep asking for what's the story behind what's going on with reliability or secure or, or error budget stuff.

I totally forgot you took half of these since Thomas has been doing it for so long,

I know you volunteered for it and we discussed it, but I just forgot.

And I, I, uh, volunteered because of the exposure I get from it.

It's nice to be part of a, a different collective group of people.

I was going to mention—I'll type this in here—um,

but Tiago had set up for container security a bot that weekly—I think it's Mondays or, like, Sunday—will ping the team and ask for a volunteer to go and resource that data.

And we just enabled it for threat insights.

And it just—it does all the work for you, Thomas, right?

So we don't have to ping people ourselves.

E, F is read-only, and Phil, you've got G.

Um, the, the dates haven't been con-confirmed yet, but it'll be sometime from mid-October through till December.

I think E group sign-off is expected to be mid-December before everyone goes on holiday.

Um, they've got a draft timeline in there, but the dates—the dates aren't in the handbook yet.

Um, the, the big change is we're moving to do it in workday.

I don't know what questions will be asked.

Um, but there's an optional, uh, self-evaluation, which will move into workday,

and then the work that we do as managers will also happen in workday.

Um, at the moment, uh, uh, some people are using the Google Doc, which is listed on the talent assessment page for self-evaluations and for the, um, manager work.

Um, I'd suggest continuing to use those docs until we get access to workday and see what the exact differences are.

H, I and J are read-only unless anybody wants to discuss them.

Apologies for the late, uh, like, live addition to the agenda on this one.

one more note on a change we're, we're rolling out within Secure, pretty lightweight in that we're establishing a second team within dynamic analysis.

so, uh, issue is there for folks who want to play—that would like to follow along or ask any questions about it.

Um, uh, r for the plan for right now is I'm going to be serving as a team to acting EM, um, uh, and

in addition to normally scheduled, uh, SEM duties, for lack of a better way of putting it.

And so happy to answer any questions that folks have about that.

Uh, we've, we've done the same thing in Threat Insights with, with Neil and,

What are you going to call your new team, or how will you differentiate?

It's just a second team within dynamic analysis.

We're not creating a new group, uh, which I think is the same pattern that's happening within Threat Insights as well.

No, I know that there's Tangerine and there's Navy.
