Episode 003 – Just the Equifax ma’am
Equifax suffered one of the biggest breaches in history. I try to break down what happened and what we as Infosec professionals can learn from their mistakes.
Equifax had the largest data breach this year, possibly ever! How could I possibly pass up this opportunity to discuss what happened? How did it happen and what lessons could we learn from it? Equifax did a lot of things wrong for sure, but that doesn't mean that we should throw stones. Especially given how many of us live in glass houses. Have a listen as I explore the Equifax breach from another perspective, in the hopes of salvaging something of use for others in the infosec community. Some links of interest:
