Crucial TechEpisode 10.21 - Netacea and stopping malicious botsDuring @RSAC Conference in April I met with Matthew Gracey-McMinn, VP of Threat Services for Netacea and we talked about the damage malicious bots can do. His company is one of a handful of companies dedicated to protecting users against that threat, in particular media companies. It was a short conversation and I decided it was worth going into a bit more depth.
