My Cyber Why — Craig Jones, Director Cybercrime, INTERPOL
Welcome to the June 2020 edition of “My Cyber Why”! — a glimpse into the life and work of experts from around the world who have dedicated themselves to protecting cyberspace.
There’s no shortage of scary headlines about the latest hacks and malware releases. But what doesn’t make the headlines are the inspiring stories of the people who work every day to make the cyber world a safer place. These are their stories and cybersecurity is their passion.
In each episode guests answer four questions:
1. Who are you?
2. What do you do in cyber?
3. Why do you do it?
4. How can people get involved or learn more?
Today’s guest is Craig Jones, the Director Cybercrime at INTERPOL.
