Interviews with experts

Learn from experts and their experiences

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You never have enough time to make them all yourself"

(Dalai Lama)

This is why interviews from experts are so nice. Hear from a victim how hackers fooled his family. Or learn why you too are an interesting target for hackers.

  • Various industries
  • Renowned security speakers

In Arda, you will find several interviews

Experts from different industries, including renowned speakers and security researchers. The interviews are short and insightful: with 15 minutes, someone can get back to work.

"We warned her..."

Interview with a victim

Don't respond to vague phone calls from the bank. Don't respond to strange apps, do not click on links in emails... And still things go wrong.

In this interview, Michael shares how his mother was manipulated into transferring money to a strange bank account. How could it go so wrong?

Arda is very affordable

The remediation costs of a data breach or ransomware attack are many times higher. And additional reputational damage to your organisation is often prohibitive.
