Welcome to issue 33 of IT Pro 20/20, distilling the most important themes of the previous month into a simple, easy-to-read package.

For this issue, we’re taking a look at the shady world of cyber security networking, and how professional social media services, and in-person conferences are being exploited by those seeking to sexually harass female members of the community.

A number of anonymous victims have shared their experiences with us in an effort to shed some light on this dark corner of the cyber security community.

The next IT Pro 20/20 will be available in January – previous issues can be found here. If you would like to receive each issue in your inbox as they release, you can subscribe to our mailing list here.
