In Episode 9, Kevin and Andrew invite you to gather ‘round the fireside and hear a cautionary holiday tale of a miserly small business owner who needs some convincing from a few ethereal figures on Christmas Eve to take cybersecurity more seriously. It’s a story of phishing, ransomware, time travel, and more! And it’s Ping’s first ever podcast play.
Our Network Engineer Nick is in the Christmas spirit as well, as he shares a few naughty and nice network security behaviors in our Engineer’s Minute.
