Regardless of the vertical or size of the organization, I have found that many executives and security professionals feel like the interviewer in the Rickie Fowler commercial when it comes to their organization’s digital security. They don’t know where to start, for instance, nor are they aware of where and how today’s ever-evolving risks and threats affect the respective organization.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Over the last few weeks there has been a number of notable code repository poisonings which quite rightly caused alarm at the possible downstream risk.
