  Some doubts have been expressed about low energy supersymmetry (SUSY)
following the first run of the LHC. In this talk I will try to present a more
upbeat view based on data, rather than theoretical expectations. In particular,
I will make the following points: (a) in my opinion the most attractive
candidate for dark matter (DM) is now the lightest neutralino with mass around
1 TeV and with well defined properties (a nearly pure higgsino). This follows
primarily from a combination of the properties of the discovered Higgs boson,
in particular its mass close to 125 Gev, and the relic density of dark matter,
and is most clearly visible in the context of unified, or constrained, SUSY
frameworks, although the DM candidate is quite generic; (b) this DM candidate
will be nearly fully tested in forthcoming one-tonne DM underground search
detectors; (c) the CMSSM will be nearly fully tested in the next few years by a
combination of expected data from LHC experiments and from direct DM searches,
as well as potentially also by the Cherenkov Telescope Array; (d) if
naturalness plays any real role in SUSY (which remains unclear), then the
amount of fine tuning, which is very large in simple models like the CMSSM, can
be significantly reduced (even down to 1 in 20) with properly selected boundary
conditions at the unification scale; (e) the (g-2) muon anomaly can be
accommodated not only in the context of the general MSSM but also of some
unified SUSY models with some superpartners to be within reach of the LHC.
