I have a shiny new MacBook Pro, finally. What are your favorite Mac apps? What should I not be without?
Thanks!

@Digital4rensics @GraniteSec That sounds like a plan. I will keep an eye out for the date / location.

@LucasErratus you did a good job of keeping it interesting for the Advanced Threat peeps as well as those not familiar with the material.

1Password hands down is one of the best apps you could own. It's even better if you have an iPhone.

CISSP will always have its value. It's like living in the air but don't really think of the importance of it. When you go for changing your job – all certs, and of course CISSP, come in handy. And not all, but some companies actually see these certs differently. Speaking from experience. If you have one – it's worthwhile maintaining it – specially when the company pays – the employer should always pay (unless you can not justify yourself!!).
