Joining the podcast this week is Canauri founder and CTO, Greg Edwards. He gives us a deep dive view into deception technology including decoys, canaries, watcher files, deception technology defense, and how it helps organizations fare against ransomware attacks. We also discuss the growing ransomware problem and its recent designation by the White House as a "national security threat". And we hit on many of your favorite topics including educating Boards on security and how to define security success, addressing the international cyber crime conundrum, AI and ChatGPT leveraged by attackers, and advice for start-ups including a book recommendation! (Note: Greg has launched a few start-ups and has some great insights!)

He has been a technology entrepreneur since 1998 and has founded many businesses. Including Axis Backup, a backup and disaster recovery company for the insurance industry, that he founded a few years before CryptoStopper.
