Cat owners! Do not delay that vet visit! If something seems off, they are off their food, go. One of mine has just been off her food for a day, get to vet and temp of 40.6c. Very high.

Complaint alleges software company misled investors about its cybersecurity practices and known risks

>> CISOs should embrace their audit partners, partner as closely as you can. That's how you get budget, that's how you get a big stick to enforce policy, that's how you can prove that you did what was necessary

>> CISOs should think twice about caving in to finance on their control budget requests without acknowledged written risk acceptance from those with the check book
