Announcer: Each week, we break down the biggest cybersecurity stories, emerging threats, new technologies, and the changes that matter to you. What happened, why it matters, and what to do next. This is What Matters in Cyber with your host, Steve.Steve: Hi, I’m Steve, and welcome to What Matters in Cyber.I’ve spent much of my career helping organizations make decisions about cybersecurity, technology, and risk. One thing I’ve learned is that the headline is rarely the whole story. What matters is how a development affects people and what, if anything, we should do about it.That’s what we’ll explore here. Every week, I’ll pick out the cybersecurity stories worth your time. We’ll cover attacks, emerging threats, new technology, vendor changes, and the occasional story that sounds alarming but needs a closer look. I’ll explain what happened, why I think it matters, and what you might want to watch or do next.I’ll also share my perspective from working with security teams and business leaders, and sometimes bring in a guest with a different view.I’d like you to be part of the conversation. If there’s a story I should cover or a take you disagree with, let me know. Cybersecurity is more interesting when we can talk through it together.Subscribe and join me every week for What Matters in Cyber. I’ll see you in the first news episode.
