In this engaging conversation, Jess Modini shares insights from her extensive background in cyber security, including her five master's specialisations and current doctoral research in cyber epidemiology. She explains how principles from computational biology and health sciences like the spread of pathogens, mirror the behaviours of malware and cyber threats. The episode dives into the parallels between public health and cyber defence, advocating for cross-disciplinary thinking to improve incident response and threat modelling.
