Cybersecurity and Other Priorities: Industry Perspective with Shirley Bloomfield

Shirley Bloomfield wants every broadband company to understand the importance of placing cybersecurity among their top priorities: “What I would love to see come out of CyberShare is proselytizing to the rest of the broadband industry to say, ‘I know it’s scary, and I know it’s a pain, and I know you’re afraid it’s going to be expensive, but you can’t afford to leave your networks vulnerable.’” Read More
