Episode 29 of the Security Matters Podcast features Brian interviewing Michelle Kradolfer (national manager and Internet of Things technical officer for Secured by Design at Police Crime Prevention Initiatives) and Steve Haworth (CEO at Vemotion).

Michelle boasts extensive knowledge of the cyber crime, cyber security and Internet of Things landscapes, duly leading on Secured by Design’s Secure Connected Device accreditation scheme. In addition to discussing that particular scheme, Michelle evaluates the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act and what it means for today’s organisations.
