Security Hygiene: A Conversation with Microsoft's Bryan Hunt - Information Assured Episode 110

My friend and former colleague at Microsoft’s public sector practice, Bryan Hunt,  provides a great overview of our present threat landscape and a series of reminders with which to start the year.  Ransomware, criminal enterprise, and re-visitation of fundamental practices round out the show.  How can you spend the money necessary to get in front of the breach or assault?  What’s happening with the spike in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?  What’s driving that?  And what about the cost of the breach or a ransomware recovery?  Do you pay?  Do you prevent it?  How do you balance the economics?
