In our latest episode of Security Nation, we talk with Robert Black, Deputy Director of the UK National Cyber Deception Lab, about his work training cyber-defenders to leverage deception techniques to ward off cyber-attackers.

From tricking hackers into thinking your network is already compromised to making attackers think their own personal information has been leaked, these new techniques represent a more proactive approach to defending against cyber-warfare.

Stick around for our Rapid Rundown, where the team discusses the latest Android security bulletin and the fact that there were...wait for it...extra mystery patches! Way to play coy Google, well done.
