About this episode
Most organisations think their biggest cyber security risk is the next attack. Louis Holt thinks it's something much closer to home. Louis spent years in cyber forensics, counter-terrorism and high-tech policing before founding ESprofiler - a platform built to answer a question almost nobody can: what security tools do you actually have, what are they costing you, and are they even switched on properly?
