Developing the Uni Cycle

Returning guest Galina Antova, co-founder of Claroty, discusses how organisations coped depending on whether they were already thinking in those terms or suddenly had it forced on them.

Antova is actually the first guest to come back for more on this podcast – which is as good a way as any to mark the fact that it’s just turned two years old! Thank you for tuning in.
