In S2 E6 of What The Hack, our confession goes into what happens when you get too tired to track your alerts properly. While they might be tiresome, they can still be the difference between a secure organisation and a breach. Hearing the confession this week are Goher Mohammad, Head of Information Security at L&Q, and renowned cyber security journalist Kate O’Flaherty, who never tire of discussing how to improve security planning and response.
