Cath Goulding is the CISO for Nominet UK. Formerly, she worked at GCHQ in a number of roles and also has a BSc in Mathematics, an MSc in Human Computer Interaction and is CISSP qualified. She was awarded Security Champion at the Women in IT awards 2015 and sits on the board of the Women’s Security Society. In this video, Cath talks about the history of cyber security, how things have evolved over the past 20 years and what she's learnt from being in the industry for so long. Some staggering things she's found in her research include: Since 2014 the total amount of malware has tripled (almost a billion variants of malware out there), the largest DDoS attacks have quadrupled and ransomware has increased fivefold in the last year alone.
She believes we are still in the beginning of the cyber attack evolution and shares her top tools to combat the growing cyber threat.
