Our CEO, Andrew Weaver, made the best year-in-review letter so far and nothing would thrill us more than to copy it here in its entirety. Unfortunately, it starts with an unlikely table that will definitely make you both laugh and wonder. So we invite you to take a few moments and read the message addressed to You personally. 

That was a great letter, wasn't it? 

Now that you're back, don't forget to book your seat in the upcoming Masterclass before you scroll down to see what Santa has in his bag for you today. 

Last time, we learned about the CTO's role in cybersecurity. Today, we are fortifying that knowledge by giving you a curated list of highly relevant Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence Sources and Tools - wrapped around the story of the BlackSuit's attack that resulted in the second-largest ransom paid to date. 

Next in the bag is the CTO Shadowing session summary with Bryan Seely, a man who, by his own account, wiretapped the US Secret Service and FBI. Bryan goes deep into ethical hacking and cybersecurity from his expert's perspective. 

And last but not least, a gift from us to you - a complete guide to mastering CTO interview questions. How about that? Isn't that just a lovely thing to find under the tree? Richard Weaver, an expert recruiter, shows both perspectives: the interviewer’s and the interviewee’s to better understand how to interview for a CTO role on one hand, and how to prepare as a candidate on the other.
