In support of Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2021, members of the Schneider Downs cybersecurity team answer some of the top questions they have faced in the field over the last ten months. This series of short videos covers topics including the future of penetration testing, how to reduce false positives from automated tools, why cyber insurance premiums are increasing and password policies. Cybersecurity Manager David Murphy kicks off the series answering the question:
