    How is information being shared during the pandemic?

    Despite the world being in the state it’s in, there is still an internet to defend. Whether its information about criminals spinning up COVID-related scams, a run-of-the-mill ransomware attack, or some other form of cybercrime, information still needs to be shared between enterprises in order to keep things working as much as possible. 
     
    On this episode, Greg Otto talks to Dan Young, Founder of QuoLab, about what he’s doing to help keep the lines of information sharing open, especially in this heavily-remote workforce world we are all living in.
