CERT-SE:s veckobrev v.38
Denna fredag, som råkar vara surkålens och e-bokens dag, tipsar vi bland annat om MSB:s nya föreskrifter om informationssäkerhet, FOI:s cyberutmaning, ett nytt index över vilka länder som är mest motståndskraftiga gällande cybersäkerhet samt bidrar med ett hett tips till den som kanske har råkat dubbelboka sig och har två videokonferenser samtidigt (se nyhet från den 14/9). Trevlig helg önskar CERT-SE!
