Welcome back to your favorite security newsletter around! I’m your host, Steph Beckett. I want to point out Paul Konikowski’s cybersecurity piece this time around. I didn’t know that hacked toothbrushes were a thing, but when you think about it, everything with Bluetooth is fair game in the hacking world. Make sure to read more about this piece and maybe about things that we should and shouldn’t believe on the internet. 

Enjoy the rest of this newsletter, too. And don’t miss our ISE 2024 coverage — you can check out the full coverage on our website here. And you can even filter our many, many product videos to see only the security products. You won’t be sorry! 

P.S. I’m very grateful to PSA for their support of this newsletter and our endeavors to bring security news to the AV community and vice versa. You can check them out and all that their doing for security and AV here.

However, next year is set to be even bigger. Watch this to learn about everything SAVe has planned, including its first Global Conference. Check it out!
