Techday's 10 Minute IT Jams provide sharp, to-the-point insights into emerging and established technology companies.

Today we talk to F-Secure, a Europe-based cybersecurity firm with global reach – it protects more than 100,000 businesses worldwide.

The company’s research arm, F-Secure Labs, publishes reports and advisories about some of the most pressing threats.

We spoke to F-Secure's director of detection and response, Matt Lawrence.

In this video, Matt talks about:

  • F-Secure as a company
  • Findings from the latest report on APTs and the Lazarus Group
  • Why nation-states would want to back threat actors
  • What insights people should take away from the report
  • How to get in touch with the team.
