What I'm reading

I love this idea of checking in with people, even when there isn't anything to report. It makes people feel much better knowing that you're still on top of things.

Phishing emails and pages are getting better. I consider that a good thing. It's raising the bar for user awareness.

I am fascinated by Docker security. This past week I found an article on 22 security tools for Docker.
