In the latest episode of the Risk Roundtable, Andy does double duty, first welcoming Jen to get the latest on the ransomware threats, before bringing Dave in to talk about weather and natural disasters. Jen kicked things off talking about all things ransomware to include preparedness items, the recent Hive takedown, the importance of reporting, and ways to protect yourself. Dave then joined Andy to talk about the third-wheel in the all-hazards preparedness model – weather and natural disasters, especially in light of the recent earthquake in Turkey. The roundtable took a split approach to the end of pod questions talking about marathons, some show dilemmas and the arc of Paul Rudd!
