Meltdown and Spectre are kind of a big deal
Not exactly the quietest start to a year so far, huh? This week brought us one of the biggest vulnerability disclosures we've seen in quite a while. Plus some other news like... someone paid how much for a burrito? Marketo's got a big presence in Denver. Convercent, OverWatchID and Swimlane all raise money. NCC has new leadership and a new plan. And DirectDefense provides some insight on the processor mess.
