Greg Sim, CEO of GlassWall Solutions for cyber crime protection

Minter Dialogue Episode #122

  This interview is with Greg Sim, entrepreneur, investor and CEO of GlassWall Solutions, providing security software to protect companies from cyber theft and criminality, including Zero-Day malware attacks and Advanced Persistent Threats. It’s a topic of strategic importance, as all companies have some level of intellectual property, sensitive informaiton and/or customer data. In this interview, we discuss the types of threats and attacks that are out there, what a company and an individual can do better to protect themselves. Definitely, we all need to get a better grip on the topic of cyber security!

70% of organisations keep their worst security incident under wraps. So what’s in the news is just the tip of the iceberg.” -Price Waterhouse (PWC) Cyber Security study (pdf)
