Watch out for our longer background reads this weekend – I wanted to call it “something for the weekend”, but I was over ruled!
The idea behind the feature is to highlight some longer reads that will give you some background into the cyber security landscape that your organisation is facing – and occasionally something that just attracts my attention. Grab a coffee – or caffeinated/non-caffeinated beverage of your choice and go and have a look.
