ISACA today is one of the principal organisations providing accreditation and skills training for infosecurity professionals.

But that's not all it does. The organisation is involved in standards as well as developing developing tools for secure and software development and driving areas such as digital trust.

That puts ISACA in a very good position to take the pulse of the cybersecurity industry. Our guest for this episode is Chris Dimitriadis, who is their Chief Strategy Officer.

In a wide ranging interview, he discusses the growth of nation state threats and cybercrime, the industry’s focus on ransomware, and how organisations need to pay more attention to response and recovery from a cyber attack. We also cover the need for better collaboration between firms, and government to counter cyber threats.

And, of course, we look at industry’s on-going skills crisis.
