Equifax had the largest data breach this year, possibly ever!  How could I possibly pass up this opportunity to discuss what happened?  How did it happen and what lessons could we learn from it?  Equifax did a lot of things wrong for sure, but that doesn't mean that we should throw stones.  Especially given how many of us live in glass houses. Have a listen as I explore the Equifax breach from another perspective, in the hopes of salvaging something of use for others in the infosec community. Some links of interest:
