This week in the bucket, we talk Tariffs; their direct impacts on the cybersecurity industry, how fluctuations in the global economy could leave companies open to cyber attacks, and changing regulations on how technical products will (or won't) be tariffed. Plus, how executive power is being abused to punish those who have spoken out against the Trump administration.
