On America’s Independence Day 🇺🇸, Andy and Dave pulled up to discuss the latest security challenges organizations face. Starting with the recent Copenhagen incident, they talked continued a previous discussion about the noise surrounding hostile events and how they distract from the real issues. Working back to the hostile events attack cycle, Andy brought up the numerous resources, many low-cost, that organizations can leverage as they continue to build out their state of preparedness. Dave and Andy also talked about drones, their continued risk, as well as the latest efforts by the U.S. government to start to address the risk. Finally, the roundtable talked about weather events and wildfires to round about the holiday special. And even though Jen was enjoying much deserved time off, Andy made sure to bring up cyber related threats and items of interest, including a 4th of July weekend ransomware incident and the importance of having an Incident Response Plan and emergency contact procedures. But no episode is complete without Andy’s three questions. This month, they talked about Obi Wan (and Star Wars in general), music, and 4th of July memories!
