Thank you for listening to the CyBUr Smart Morning News Update. I am dedicating Fridays to an Op-Ed style podcast.  The topic for this Friday is Cybersecurity Conferences:  Are we solving anything with all of these conferences?  Can we do better?  We should! Probably not a popular opinion, but that is why it is an Op-Ed. Dissenting opinions are welcome at darren@thecyburguy.com or at linkedin.com/in/darrenmott.  You can also read my substack at: https://open.substack.com/pub/cyburguy/p/cyber-conferences-they-are-everywhere?r=1g38xq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web ...
