In this episode of the Cyber Security Uncut podcast, hosts Major General (Ret’d) Marcus Thomspon and Phil Tarrant are joined by Adam McCarthy, CEO of ParaFlare.

The podcast unpacks the genesis of ParaFlare, and how McCarthy’s lessons as a signaller in the military helped build the foundations of the company. The trio discuss the core offerings of the company including active cyber defence – or more simply, “catching hackers”! McCarthy then outlines the importance of active cyber defence and passive preventative controls, and ParaFlare’s proven success in identifying and responding to threats. McCarthy then provides a vulnerability assessment of Australian businesses, from ASX-listed companies to SMEs. Enjoy the podcast, The Cyber Security Uncut team
