The pizza is mediocre, but that honey? Mmmm After more than 40
years, the Beau Jo's on Colorado Blvd is closing. This leaves us
wondering, are there any other places with such mediocre food that
are so popular? (White Castle maybe?) This week we learned that
Comcast is launching an IoT network in Denver, the City's auditors
find security issues with the 311 phone system, SecureSet's Alex
Kreilin is famous, Automox officially comes out of stealth, and a
whole lot more. Sign up for our mailing list on the main site to

info@colorado-security.com Feature interview: In early June we
covered a fascinating blog post by Coalfire: The Anatomy of Paying
a Ransom. The story so interested us that we reached out to
contacts at Coalfire to meet the author. Bryce Bearchell is the
security consultant who worked this incident and wrote the blog. In
this week's interview Bryce gives us more context about his role at
Coalfire, the company that was hit by this attack, how they
recovered, and lessons for the rest of us, so we don't suffer the
same fate. Local security news: Beau Jo's on Colorado is closing
