In this episode of the Cyber Security Uncut podcast, host Liam Garman joins Cyber Security Connect journalist Daniel Croft to unpack whether the Commonwealth should ban ransomware payments, before turning to discuss the future of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber security.

The pair begin the podcast by assessing whether legislation to ban ransoms would, in fact, hurt the victims yet further and whether it will create additional illicit markets for threat actors. Garman and Croft then unpack how AI and advanced machine learning can be used to improve business practices, and how these new systems can be exploited by threat actors. They wrap up the podcast by examining the ethical and security risks of data aggregation in the era of information operations.
