What surprises me about the 1976 movie Network is…how little has changed, really.
I've been scratching that podcasting itch for work https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/CheckMates-GO-Podcast/bg-p/checkmates-go but that doesn't allow me to ramble on about things other than cyber security like I can do here.
This has been a challenging time for all of us, especially for those who have not been able to adapt to the current circumstances. More information about the CheckMates Go https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/CheckMates-GO-Podcast/bg-p/checkmates-go podcast I'm producing for the day job.
Since we all seemed to be sheltered in place for a while longer, it seems like a good time to focus on what matters and do a few things you haven't done before to improve your health. img
