Interview with Dave Lewis on Security's Role in M&A Due Diligence

In this episode, Dave Lewis from 1Password discusses the critical importance of security in mergers and acquisitions, from due diligence through integration. He explores common pitfalls, essential security assessments, and practical strategies for security leaders to protect organizational value throughout the M&A process.

Topic: The Challenge of Breach Transparency

Every industry concerned with safety has a process for publishing the details of accidents, incidents, and failures. Cybersecurity has yet to reach this milestone, and hiding the details of failures is holding us back. This talk will argue for the need for breach details to go public, and share strategies for finding and using some little-known sources of detailed breach data.
