Are We Ever Going to Get Information Sharing Right? – Edna Conway – ESW #252
In this interview, we discuss defenders sharing information, how Edna deals with Azure's supply chain challenges, ransomware trends, and some future predictions. Edna has been in security as long as most other folks we interview, but was a lawyer for 20 years before that!
She's smart, dangerous, and has some great takes we can't wait to dive into.
