Five by Five: Why the Cyber Defense Matrix Gets Great Reception – PSW #695
Five years after Sounil Yu originally introduced the Cyber Defense Matrix at the 2016 RSA conference, he just wrapped up the third workshop based on the framework.

We talk to Sounil today to learn more about where the CDM came from, why people find it so useful and where it might be headed in the future.
