Cybersecurity and mental health - why data matters

In this episode we are looking at a topic which we could spend a whole lot longer than one episode on, so we’re going to make it a two-parter - cybersecurity and mental health. We’ll be looking at two aspects in particular - why our health data is particularly vulnerable and of interest to criminals, and how our mental health state affects our ability to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions. In this episode, we’ll be discussing the first part of the equation with Catherine Knibbs, a Psychotherapist and specialist in online harms.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it. Do you have a question for the expert?
