In this episode, we’ll be diving into recent security disclosures with Eric Siron, Microsoft MVP, and discussing how organizations should respond when vulnerabilities are discovered. 

We’ll focus on two major incidents as examples throughout this episode; the Outlook Vulnerability CVE-2023-23397, and the re-emergence of Emotet.

Whether you’re a SysAdmin working in a small organization or the CISO of a large business, you have to be more vigilant, and have a plan.
