October 18, 2024: Friday Op-Ed - IRPs and TTXs

A recent request for an Incident Response Plan and IRP TableTop Exercise from my local church spurred me to discuss the importance of IRPs and TTXs for SMB, Churches, Non-profits, etc... as part of today's Friday Op-Ed.  Give a listen, tell a friend.

October 11, 2024: Positive Thinking and Cybersecurity

I am not gonna lie, I think this is one of the better Friday Op-Eds I have done.  It is based on a substack article I wrote earlier in the week, but I add a lot to what is in that article.  I don't ask this much, but if you like this episode, please share it with your friends and family.  Thanks, D
