It was our third CISO roundtable that we hosted at a local vineyard and the conversation was as lively as ever. I’m not sure if it was the wine tasting, the food or the experience of the CISO’s in attendance, but this event was lively discussion that focused on “Building a Defendable Enterprise with Continuous Monitoring”. The excitement and passion that was coming back from our attendees was nothing short of encouraging to see how these leaders in our field are taking their roles serious in defending their organizations. It was once again a privilege to be in the midst of these leaders learning from their wisdom and experience in the field. This blog is being written as recap of a few highlighted discussion points throughout evening that were discussed.

How Cryptocurrency Could Benefit You

cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency which works as an exchange system for secure financial transactions in the digital marketplace.

The public financial transactions work through a distributed ledger, also known as a blockchain. All of this allows for the owner of the cryptocurrency to have full control of their assets.
