It starts with a C. On this episode of Ping: A Firewalls.com Podcast, Kevin &amp; Andrew talk about configurations with Firewalls.com&#8217;s own Anthony Mercho. Anthony discusses why it&#8217;s best to skip the configuration wizard and why configurations are never one-size-fits-all.

Then we hear about a former member of Uber&#8217;s leadership team facing charges for covering up a hack. And we double down with a story about CEOs of the future may face issues themselves when breaches occur.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s Ransomware Reckoning #2.
