March has been a month of concern for those in the cyber security community following revelations of extensive hacking campaigns carried out by state-backed groups.
In the latter part of the month, it was reported that APT 31, a Chinese state-backed threat group, had accessed information on tens of millions of UK voters in a breach of the Electoral Commission. Threat actors had also targeted US politicians and businesses.
What can we learn from the breach and how can organizations protect themselves against future state-backed threats?
In this episode, Jane and Rory welcome back Ross Kelly, ITPro’s news and analysis editor, to explore the month’s cyber security developments.
