Good afternoon from beautiful Sermoneta in Italy:
For now, I only Tweeting your podcasts to my few followers. Now I would like to thank you for what you are doing, personally- well, as personal as this could be. This goes to the entire team, both on the podcast and those busy bees behind the scenes…
I am so grateful for what you have been providing to me, but also to the security community and beyond. You really have found a way to make security interesting to the broader public.
Technology safeguards can be grasped or implemented by a niche group. However, what you educate people about here, applies to everyone – in business and private life!
Thank you on behalf of many who might be too shy to write,
KS
