Train as you fight Ross Brewer, CRO SimSpace

On July 11th, leaders gathered at the NATO summit to discuss the most complex and unpredictable security environment since the Cold War.

As Russia launches the first cyberwar we have ever seen, barraging Ukraine and other Eastern European countries with cyberattacks, NATO countries need to work together to root out intruders from allied networks.

Initiatives like the US’s Hunt Forward missions are designed to take the fight to the adversary. Ronan talks to Ross Brewer the CRO of SimSpace about this and more.

Ross talks about his background, what SimSpace does, the WannaCry virus, cyberwar, Hunt Forward Teams  and more.
