Enterprise Times recently visited Forcepoint’s HQ in Austin, Texas where we got to sit down with Chief Scientist, Dr Richard Ford and talk cybersecurity. It was an interesting conversation that looked at WannaCry and the failure of many companies to stop thinking of a physical perimeter around their network. We talked about a range of challenges that are hurting companies today and whether there is a role for HR when it comes to securing the enterprise.

It was a conversation that could have gone on for hours as we explored a wide range of issues. To hear what we talked about listen to the podcast online. Alternatively you can download it to your local machine and listen to it on your personal device. Our podcasts are also for Android devices from play.google.com/music/podcasts.
