Show Notes

It was a dark day in cybersecurity when the world realized that the largest and widest reaching data breach in history had hit over 18,000 companies and organizations, including the U.S. Department of Defense, Microsoft, and just about everything in-between.  In this episode, we take a look at what in the world happened in the SolarWinds hack.  How did it puncture cybersecurity barricades guarding information for some of the world’s most secure organizations?  From SolarWinds to Florida’s recent public water facility hack to a thwarted ransomware attack on one of our own computers, we talk about what appears to be our day’s modern wargrounds -- the internet.
