Security Pros Bring Out Their Game Face

With ransomware and data breaches driving headlines, it can feel like security pros are always one step behind. However, I recently found a few stories that I thought were worth celebrating.

Not everyone on the Inside Out Security Show panel – Cindy Ng, Mike Buckbee, Kilian Englert, and Kris Keyser – thought the stories were good news.

Nonetheless, I think that over time, as technologies mature, they do become more stable and secure. A few steps forward, a few steps back, right?

Here are some of the stories we covered. What do you think?
