Episode: 54: Cyber security in the times of a pandemic
Description: Cyber security is proving to be a major challenge with remote working becoming a reality ever since the pandemic began.

In this episode, Nandgopal Rajan speaks to Paul Ducklin, a senior technologist at Sophos, a British security software and hardware company. The duo discuss how cyber criminals took advantage of COVID-19 and how cyber security firms evolved to deal with the new challenges.
