Turning CISA’s recommendations into action.

This week, we are joined by David Wiseman (www.linkedin.com/in/davidjwiseman/) , Vice President of Secure Communications at BlackBerry (www.linkedin.com/company/blackberry/) , discussing making CISA's encrypted communications guidelines actionable. Ben's got the story of the UK’s Online Safety Act kicking in, with Big Tech companies like Musk’s X facing massive fines and potential shutdowns for failing to remove harmful content, despite Musk’s hopes that Trump will intervene to water it down. Dave's got the story of a surveillance success for law enforcement in Baltimore and a new-to-me forensics tool.
