It all feels a bit "business as usual" this week; data breaches, IoT and 3D printing. But what I'm most excited about is what I probably spent the least amount of time talking about, that being the work 1Password and I have been doing on our "Hello CISO" series.

I'm back into a normal home routine and it's business as usual again. Just normal stuff like that ?? with a security vulnerability. that locks your equipment in place and demands a ransom.

Yesterday, I wrote the first part of this 5-part series on fixing data breaches and I focused on education. The next few parts of this series all focus on cures - how do we fix data breaches once bad code has already been written or bad server configurations deployed? Best of all, it's about prevention rather than cure.
