366: You just can’t kill a good JWT

Welcome to episode 366 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Ryan is back from “vacation,” aka his other job (moonlighting as the admin of the Eagles’ biggest fan Facebook group), and this week we’re talking a lot about security, how orgs are managing threats, and whose turn it is to release a new hoard of patches.
