To join Robby for this episode on Russian cybercrime and ransomware, we’re welcoming Sam Flockhart, Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager at Santander UK.

Sam has a background in military intelligence from the British army, where he has spent a large part of his career looking at Russian influence in Eastern Europe. Including experience from the British army’s support mission to Ukraine.

Sam goes through his presentation “From Russia with ransomware” presented at FS-ISAC EMEA Summit last month. Robby and Sam discuss ransomware groups with direct relationships with Russian intelligence services, their tactics, and how likely it is that ransomware will be used as a weapon in the short – medium term.
