The SecureWorld Sessions is a cybersecurity podcast that gives you access to people and ideas that impact your career and help you secure your organization.

In this episode, we're sharing new revelations about how the Equifax data breach happened. From newly unsealed court documents in the US DOJ case, we look at 10 steps Chinese nation-state hackers are accused of taking in the attack. We also interview Graeme Payne who worked for Equifax and was fired after being blamed for human error that led to the breach. What did he learn that can benefit security teams?

Also, new Trend Micro research on the Outlaw Hacking Group and Trend Micro's hands-on workshop, "Threat Defense Challenge," at SecureWorld Philadelphia 2020.
