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\xa0this post and this post\xa0for the discussion that are the basis of our conversation on this week\u2019s episode co-hosted by me,\xa0David Spark\xa0(@dspark), the producer of\xa0CISO Series, and\xa0Steve Zalewski.\xa0Our sponsored guest is Aviv Grafi (@avivgrafi), CTO and founder, Votiro.
