Topic and speaker lineup are posted and we’d love to see you Thursday evening, 10/29!

🎃 Four Corners and the Silver State: October Meeting 🎃

​Something’s lurking in the macOS codebase... and this month, we’re going hunting. Olivia Gallucci, Security Engineer at Datadog, joins us to present her [un]prompted 2026 talk on using AI agents to dig into macOS internals. She’ll show how Apple’s open-source code, binaries, and unified logs can reveal what’s creeping around under the hood, before it comes back to haunt your fleet.

​What you’ll learn:

  • ​How Apple’s open-source repos act as a “sensor” for platform changes, so no update sneaks up on you like a jump scare

  • ​How unified logs plus AI tooling can surface hidden system behavior and attack surface (no Ouija board required)

  • ​Why AI works best as a “junior analyst” that handles the grave-digging while you make the evidence-backed calls

  • ​A tour of OSS Sensor, Olivia’s open-source tool for rule-based triage and hypothesis generation

​🧟 Also on the bill: Ryan Legg on Jamf Compliance Editor

​Do compliance audits give you nightmares? Ryan Legg, Solutions Engineer at Jamf, walks us through Jamf Compliance Editor, Jamf’s free tool built on the macOS Security Compliance Project (mSCP) that turns security benchmarks into settings you can deploy.

​What you’ll learn:

  • ​How to build baselines from CIS, NIST 800-53, DISA STIG and other benchmarks without writing every rule from scratch

  • ​How to generate configuration profiles, remediation scripts and extension attributes, and upload them straight to Jamf Pro

  • ​How to tailor rules to your organization so exceptions don’t come back to haunt your next audit

​🦇 And a Mystery Guest...

​We’ve got a surprise third guest hiding in the shadows! Their identity stays under the sheet for now, but we’ll unmask them in a few days. Keep an eye out... if you dare. 👀

​Whether you’re hardening endpoints, chasing ghostly OS behavior, or just trying to keep your fleet audit-ready, you’ll leave with ideas you can put to use right away. Costumes optional, curiosity required! 👻
