TechDay's 10 Minute IT Jams provide sharp, to-the-point insights into emerging and established technology companies that operate in the Asia-Pacific region.

This is our third IT Jam with Vectra AI, a cybersecurity company specialising in network detection and response (NDR) solutions for cloud, SaaS, data center and enterprise infrastructures.

Following on from the recent high profile cyberattack on Waikato's District Health Board, Vectra AI director of security engineering Chris Fisher explains why ransomware attacks on critical national infrastructure (CNI) are becoming increasingly common. He discusses why the operational threat environment is so different from the IT environment, and what steps governments and private sector enterprises need to be taking now to improve their CNI security posture.
