It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, even with cybersecurity. But defending a business, of any size, against cyber threats today is hard. Like, really hard. Defenders have to succeed every single time; attackers only need to succeed once. And then your company makes the headlines. Today we'll delve into the world of the "blue team" - the defenders who are charged with protecting your data and the services you depend on - with cyber expert Oz Jones. Along the way, we'll learn valuable lessons for everyone.
