The Business of Cyber Security

Samu Konttinen, F-Secure

06-Feb-17 10:00

The growth of the cybersecurity industry has been on upscale trend thanks to weaponisation of code. Just think about it, from 1994 to around 2014, we all could enjoy online communication, commerce and convenience without having to think about security. With the evolution and the rise of mobile devices, internet of things, commerce and much more, cybersecurity needs to be accounted for as a central feature in all products being developed and commercialised. We speak to Samu Konttinen, CEO of F-Secure about the challenges in fighting a sophisticated cybercrime industry, risks in our digital world and the what lies ahead in the future of us.
