Mikko Hyppönen // F-Secure

I had to deal with cybersecurity topics recently; I've even been in touch with the FBI 👮. On this occasion I invited a brilliant guest for the alphalist Podcast: It’s Mikko Hyppönen, a computer security specialist and scientific director at the security company F-Secure.

He spent half of his life hacking and chasing hackers and he knows how to talk about it: I saw at least 3 TED Talks by him and yes, they are very entertaining and helpful.

Key topics in the Podcast are:

• The recent Twitter hack and the stupidness of the hackers
• How cybersecurity evolved and became a required skill for companies and countries
• His recommendations for modern mid sized companies around Cybersecurity (Where to start with processes, recruiting, tools, budgets)
• What to do if you’ve been compromised
