    Hi Team:
    Very good insights. I have two questions.

    1. In the podcast you mentioned both Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams are bad at security. Why do you say that ? Do you have fact check ? Atleast I didn’t see any security attack reported. Please provide the data

    2. Why do you say to buy Cyber Insurance but not expect anything from it ?

    Regards,
    Venkat

      2. All insurance is based on contract terms. For technology, the contract terms stipulate a number of requirements which the contractee often fails to meet. Regular audits, use of certain tools, or restrictions on configuration. If the insurer decide to challenge a claim, the client is in weak position.

    Hi Greg and Johna, I recently stumbled across your Heavy Strategy podcast when it was cross-posted on Packet Pushers and I just wanted to say thanks! I’ve listened to a bunch of episodes already, the content is good and I like the way you play off each other’s opinions. I have met and seen Greg speak at Interop and have been a very long time listener of Packet Pushers and I’ve seen Johna speak at the IT Roadmap series when it was in Chicago, I’m glad you’ve found a fresh way to collaborate and I look forward to more.
