About this episode
Ransomware attacks across Australia have become a major problem for business, causing massive disruptions and costing millions to remediate.

Australia is considered a soft target for attacks – what can be done and what should we look out for?
Guest: Abigail Bradshaw, Head Australian Cyber Security Centre Australian Signals Directorate
