Collaborate Disseminate
Just watching back through bits of this week’s video, the thing that’s really getting at me is the same thing I’ve come back to in so many past videos: lack of organisational disclosure after a breach. Lack of disclosure to impacted customers, lack of
I was in my mid-30s before I felt comfortable standing up in front of an audience and talking about technology. Come to think of it, “comfortable” isn’t really the right word, as, frankly, it was nerve-racking. This, with my obvious bias as her father, makes it
