This week’s episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Andy Ellis (@csoandy), operating partner, YL Ventures. Joining us is my guest, Thom Langford, CISO, Velonetic.

In this episode:

  • Why do lots of businesses pledge to never pay ransomware demands?

  • And why do their priorities quickly change when they need to get the business back to normal after an attack occurs?

  • What good is a pledge like that without the infrastructure and organizational commitment to make it possible?
