Overton describes himself as a
Are you sick of the marketing hype suggesting some “Next Gen” security device can solve all your security problems? Yes? Good. If not, maybe you should be.

Although the industry acknowledges a decline in the number of ransomware attacks in 2018, this news isn’t anything to get excited about.

I don’t know exactly what attracted me to this particular meeting of crypto minds, but it was a very fateful day in my knowledge and understanding of Cybersecurity. Among many of the
