Fisher Bowl Finale
The Fantasy Football season has officially wrapped—and we have a champion. Congratulations to Zach Hurd , who claimed the Fisher Bowl after defeating Clark in a closely watched (and closely enjoyed) final matchup. Despite a valiant Monday night push, Clark’s comeback hopes fell short as Puka Nacua sealed the win for Zach, 106.58–95.18. A great season from both finalists, but only one gets bragging rights—congrats to Zach on taking the title and condolences to Clark, who will surely hear about this for a while.
Thanks to everyone who played, and here’s to another season of bold picks and questionable lineup decisions.

Trends to Expect This Year in Cybersecurity
AI Everywhere
Zero Trust Becomes Standard
Artificial intelligence will be used by both attackers and defenders, making cyber battles faster and more complex.
Companies will adopt “never trust, always verify” policies across all systems and networks.
Continuous Protection
Identity Matters Most
Security will be monitored and defended continuously rather than a one-time check.
Protecting user identities and access rights will be a top priority to stop breaches.
Rules Catching Up
Governments and industries will roll out stricter regulations to keep pace with new threats.

Deepfake Defense
Ban Voice-Only Approvals
No payments, access changes, or identity changes are executed from calls or voicemails. Put the request into a ticket or approval flow first.
Directory Callback Only
If “the CFO” calls, hang up and call back using the corporate directory contact, not the inbound number.
One-Time Challenge In a Second Channel
Send a short code in Teams and have the caller read it back. Avoid static passphrases that can leak.
Plain-Language Script
“Per policy, I am moving this into our approval workflow and calling you back on the directory number.”
