Season 1 Episode 2: Cannabis Tech - Its High Time We Focus on Privacy and Security
Show Notes

In this episode, we take a look at some of the often overlooked concerns with the cannabis industry - the privacy and security of data.  Many people don't realize the amount of data that is gleaned in the Cannabis industry, including extensive employee files (periodic background checks, names, addresses, ssn, etc.), consumer data (license numbers, name, addresses, medical information, etc.), and proprietary corporate information (growing strategies, financials, partners, seed to sale data, etc.).  So lets start paying more attention to Cannabis Tech!

Guest Speakers:
