I'm curious what the general perception is out in the community? Have you encountered any credible information security threats or has this "threat" been revealed to be a political paper one? I'm not seeking recommendations for what we should do, more to gauge what others are doing and how you're basing your decision.

I am curious to know what peers in the industry are using for this. Are you seeing any particular tools or platforms gaining traction?
