It’s a first, with Jack going solo, and the subject is a set of 8 recent recommendations from senior IT and security leaders at the recent e.Republic/Center for Digital Democracy Beyond the Beltway show. Panels of executives described their experience with successful security and technology communications, and Jack interprets and applies these for our Pwned cybersecurity audience. It’s a rare view into the minds and reactions of the kind of leaders that we know are fundamental to the success of any security strategy.
