This week's OP-ED refers to this post I made on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7267172616346505217/). This had to do with a research study that showed the current methods associated with awareness training just aren't working, so I am trying to develop a new way.

In this Friday's OP-ED, I talk about a topic near and dear to my heart: Incident information/Intelligence sharing. We do it poorly in the cyber world.  Can't we please try to do it better.

Would love to hear other thoughts on this.

Give a listen, tell a friend.
