In this third installment of The Evolving Threat Podcast, Charles and Helge Husemann, Security Geek at Malwarebytes, are joined by Malwarebytes’ malware intelligence researcher, Jean-Philippe Taggart, Rob Pooley of IT security solutions company, Saepio Solutions, and Nick Munro of Blue Cube Security, who provide independent consultative advice, to discuss the current climate of cybersecurity and give their advice on how businesses can protect themselves.

This episode explores the concerns businesses have with nation state threats, phishing attacks and the risks that come from employees who bring their own devices and security into the workplace as well as the addition of new IoT devices.

By the end of the podcast, the group consider what are the top 3 security concerns for organisations and discuss measures to counteract them.

Helge Husemann holds the job title of Security Geek at Malwarebytes and he is presently on a mission to protect businesses from malware.

The threats that keep business owners and IT departments up at night have evolved from disruptive viruses to today’s malicious ransomware and Helge keeps pace with these new types of malware and what businesses need to do to protect themselves.
