Description

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, host Liam Garman is joined by Aaron Bugal, field chief technology officer at Sophos, to unpack how businesses can keep themselves safe in the face of an ever-evolving threat environment. 

  • The pair begin the podcast by examining recent research from the company’s X-Ops division and how professionals should prioritise disrupting criminal networks with a reminder that ransomware is merely a means to an end for attackers. 
  • They then examine how AI is being used to detect threats and the need for businesses to adopt zero-trust security modes.
  • Bugal and Garman then wrap up by looking at the evolving characteristics of ransomware and how businesses can employ geo-blocking. 

Enjoy the podcast,
