The F5 - The human side of tech

From revolutionising the stepping plate after visiting a police conference in Toronto, to being the CEO of Forensic Pathways with a 95% view of ransomware groups on the dark web, Professor Deb Leary takes us on a journey of how the preservation of both physical and digital data is at the heart of her innovation. From her work with the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and as a Scale Up Director, Deb is an expert in helping businesses do more, but do it in a way that is reasonable for them.
