For years we've been referring to malware protection as a cat and mouse game. The crooks come up with a new malware attack, and then the good guys figure out a way to stop it. And that keeps cycling over and over again. So where are we today with malware protection and is there any way to get ahead of the cycle?

Check out this post and this post for the discussion that are the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Steve Zalewski. Our sponsored guest is Aviv Grafi (@avivgrafi), CTO and founder, Votiro.
