Cybersecurity Awareness Month CALL TO ACTION - The Conclusion!

Warning, there might be some naughty language in this one!

The challenge was issued!!!! Allan teamed up with TWO other podcasts to take on the insufferable marketing that floods the cybersecurity industry in the month of October! Who won???

"Won"?

That's right!  Allan, along with George  K and George A from Bare Knuckles & Brass Tacks joined forces with Aaron Pritz and Cody Rivers of Simply Solving Cyber! Together, this trifecta of podcasters weighed in on the October bonanza that is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. While the month started humbly to raise awareness for the general public, it has now become an excuse for vendors to inundate infosec professionals' inboxes with inane messaging. Introducing: The Cyber Community Month challenge! Vendors: we challenged you to come up with campaigns that give back to the customer community rather than sending awareness spam. Client-side practitioners: We asked you to show us how you engage local communities, volunteer at schools, help nonprofits, etc. to spread cyber knowledge! This is the conclusion and awards ceremony!

Shout-outs to our winners, all of whom did something special for the community.
