Right now: Intel’s FOCUS Security conference kicked off in Las Vegas on Tuesday and according to IT Pro Portal, Vanessa was the most “interesting” speaker there. “She put forward the idea that many executives simply don’t understand how fundamental security is to the success of their business, citing Ashley Madison as an example of a company that was selling privacy, but didn’t fully appreciate the importance of security.”
