Presently sponsored by: Twilio: Learn what regulations like PSD2 mean for your business, and how Twilio can help you achieve secure, compliant transactions
Wow, a weekly update back on the normal schedule! I also realised when watching this back how less tired I look compared to the last few weeks. Travel takes its toll so I touched on that a bit in this week’s update, along with the usual raft of new data breaches to go into HIBP. Plus there’s Facebook’s incidents, both the one they’re not directly responsible for and the one they are responsible for, but is also both a bit of a non-event and something that’s reflective of broader issues in the industry.
Next week should be bang on schedule again and with any luck, I’ll look even less tired again ?
