051 Graham Cluley on Privacy, IoT Risks, and Ransomware

Graham Cluley is well known in the cybersecurity industry as a popular speaker, writer, independent security analyst, and cohost of the Smashing Security podcast. He’s had senior roles at Sophos and McAfee, and is a member of the Infosecurity Europe Hall of Fame. He joins us this week for a wide-ranging conversation, including his humble beginnings writing software to protect against malware before that was really even a thing, his thoughts on the latest trends and techniques the bad guys are using, and how we as a community should protect ourselves against them. And, of course, we get his take on threat intelligence, and why he thinks it’s playing an ever-increasing role as organizations stand up their cyber defense strategies.
