SWVHSC Micro Interviews: CYRISMA & Mimecast – Liam Downward, Matthew Gardiner – ESW #202

Liam started his career in 1998 in Dublin, Ireland and each year brought new challenges and with this where my passion of Information Security grew. In 2018, he saw that Cyber Security was becoming more complex and organizations would rather ignore risks as their budgets could not afford solutions to protect their data and CYRISMA was born.
