From Sam Edge
Your report of malicious software holding medical records to ransom was interesting (27 February, p 26). While ransomware is becoming a real nuisance, the proliferation of “threat intelligence” consultants is more of a danger to gullible organisations' bank balances.
I have had the dubious pleasure of attending cybersecurity seminars presented by former UK police officers who, after having attended a few courses while on the public purse, go on to take private sector roles dishing out blindingly obvious, or sometimes laughably misinformed, advice to naive management types, at eye-watering hourly rates.
