In episode 7 of What The Hack, jointly supported by Sysdig and AWS, we bring together cybersecurity journalists Kate O’Flaherty, Geoff White and Dan Raywood to discuss their stories of the year, the challenges that security leaders will face in 2025, and what individuals can learn from the media about how to handle potential issues. Kate covers both business and consumer security, Dan dives into enterprise IT security, and Geoff shares his experience looking into the cross-over between cryptocurrency, hackers and organised crime.
