“I am overwhelmed by the newsletters and other content showing up in my email every week, but one I truly look forward to every Sunday morning is The Global Frequency produced by Matt Devost. It is a short, incredibly well curated list of significant news stories from the last week. And by significant I mean thought provoking or strategically important, not the big stories you have already heard. If you work at the intersection of cyber security, emerging technology and public policy, you should absolutely subscribe.”
