Insight #1

Insight #2

"Next, I predict we will have a better industry standard than just CVSS in the works by fiscal year-end."
 

Insight #3

"Lastly, I believe ransomware will continue to plague organizations, but it will slow down due to the volatility of the crypto currency market, which is typically how payment is made."
