Learn How Ransomware Affects Government Agencies In This Active Cyber™ Interview with Jason Baker of GRIT
I like returning each year to the AFCEA Technet Cyber Conference as it always has a lively exhibit hall and interesting panels and discussions. It is also focused quite a bit on government issues and solutions, although not exclusively, as members of the IC, DoD, and other federal agencies provide their insights into the trending cyber issues of the day. As a member of the media, I sometimes receive requests for interviews and this year I received one from GuidePoint Security for Jason Baker, a senior member of the GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT). After doing a little research on the company I was excited to see them positioned to help on defending and mitigating ransomware attacks. I have been interested in learning how ransomware is affecting federal agencies, or government in general, so I was happy when Jason accepted my invite to do an interview / podcast. So you can listen to our interview and learn a little more about ransomware and how it affects our government agencies.
