When adversaries can read the playbook—searching email, SharePoint, Teams/Slack, and even joining incident response calls—communication becomes the attack surface.

We’re joined by Aubrey Wade to explore why secure out-of-band communications have become essential infrastructure, and how organizations are building resiliency when it matters most.
