On Wednesday night, the Chicago Cubs won the Major League Baseball World Series for the first time since 1908, breaking the longest drought in all major North American sports of 108 years. They were down three games to one and the probability of them winning the last three games to win the series was a longshot. But after winning two games and enduring a crazy game seven that included a rain delay and an extra inning, the Cubs finally broke the Curse of the Billy Goat. I’m not a fan of the team (too long of a story for this blog) but I can appreciate a great sports story. Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs for a great comeback.
In last week’s blog, I highlighted the fact that our Zero Day Initiative was recognized by Frost & Sullivan as the leading vulnerability research organization for 2015 and I congratulated the team for being the leading vulnerability research organization since 2010. I’m usually never wrong (I’ll stick to that story!), but when I am, I make sure to correct any errors as soon as possible. While our ZDI streak isn’t close to the 108-year streak the Cubs just broke, it’s a little longer than I originally indicated. The Zero Day Initiative has been the leader in vulnerability research since 2007! So I’ll extend my congratulations to the team again on this tremendous accomplishment!
