One tool that's been a real game-changer for me, even if it's not everyone’s talking about it, is Obsidian. I started using it to keep all my notes in markdown, which made organizing and linking ideas so much smoother. But what really flipped my approach was reading "How to Take Smart Notes" by Sönke Ahrens. It showed me how to create a solid process for capturing and developing my thoughts, and having that system in place has totally transformed the way I work. It just goes to show that sometimes the best tools aren’t the latest tech gadgets, but really well-thought-out processes that can be supported by versatile tools like Obsidian. It’s been a transformative shift for me.

Ablebits. It is an excel add in that lets you merge spreadsheets and compare data. It has many other powerful uses. We have used it for 13 years and can’t imagine not having it.

Anomaly Detection / Mindbridge: We’re exploring tools that support continuous monitoring of financial transactions (e.g., inventory adjustments, journal entries, credit memos, disbursements) to help us identify anomalies earlier than our traditional periodic audits allow. We are a $20B company with 50+ different ERP systems globally (some data is mastered). Our goal is to enhance fraud detection and internal controls using modern, AI/ML analytics tools. We've started a vendor assessment process and MindBridge seems to be the only vendor that fairly fits the bill. I'd appreciate if someone can share any feedback/experience on the solution/vendor.

Why do you think there are so few mature AI-driven autonomous pentesting solutions on the market, and why does this topic seem to generate more hype than in-depth technical discussion?
