Richard Bejtlich: Keeping Consumers Safe

In this video, Katty Kay interviews Richard Bejtlich, Chief Security Strategist from FireEye on BBC World News, and explains that cyber security breaches are unfortunately very common, the public just doesn't usually hear about it. In one year alone, the U.S. government notified over 3,000 companies that they had each suffered a significant breach.

He was previously Chief Security Strategist at FireEye, and Mandiant's Chief Security Officer when FireEye acquired Mandiant in 2013. At General Electric, as Director of Incident Response, he built and led the 40-member GE Computer Incident Response Team (GE-CIRT). Richard began his digital security career as a military intelligence officer in 1997 at the Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT), Air Force Information Warfare Center (AFIWC), and Air Intelligence Agency (AIA).
