HSBC says Hong Kong is better placed than many Asian peers to turn stablecoins into commercially viable products at scale, underpinned by its early lead in tokenisation. Since August 2024, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has been piloting tokenised deposits, and issued digital green bonds raising HK$10 billion. The granting of stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Standard Chartered marks the next phase. https://www.scmp.com/tech/blockchain/article/3350498/hong-kong-seen-leading-asia-push-scale-stablecoins-hsbc-says #China #Tech #FinTech

Man #Vanta is so bad…

Their Entra MFA enforcement check is horrible. It only checks if a conditional access policy exists, and if it has ‘MFA’ in the builtinControls. If it does, it’s a pass.

But it doesn’t check…

  • if any users are excluded from the policy
  • if any groups are excluded
  • if the policy covers all users even after exclusions (e.g. if the exclusions are service accounts for any reason)
  • if the geoblocking is functional
  • if any of the excluded users are privileged

Vanta is a tool designed to mislead auditors, presenting as a third-party authority with their ‘trust center’ and all the flashy shiny dashboards.

Yet the core is rotten.

I haven’t been this insulted since I found out that #vanta has a barely functional risk API (was trying to sync our risk register from our internal repo… long story).

Just… I lack words.
