In this episode of Hacked Off, Holly interviews Simon McNamee - Secure Impact's Security Technology Lead. This week, they discuss what issues security experts often encounter when working with businesses; both those with a high level of security maturity, as well as those just starting off on that journey. Holly and Simon offer some sage advice to organisations about getting the most out of their security services - it all starts with understanding the difference between these services and recognising what your business is ready for - and they also share some of their own experiences from different on-site engagements.1:00 Defining Value7:00 What happens when nothing happens?10:50 Goals13:42 Cyber Essentials & beyond17:35 Are you ready for a pentest?22:50 Simulating the bad guys30:40 Creating a distraction35:50 Not every attack is ransomwareListening time: 43 minutesHost: Holly Grace Williams, on behalf of SecarmaGuest: Simon McNamee, Security Technology Lead at Secure Impact LtdConnect with Simon: www.linkedin.com/in/samcnameeSecure Impact: www.secure-impact.comOur website: www.secarma.comTweet us: www.twitter.com/SecarmaEvents: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/secarma-ltd-31129456455
