In today's episode we take a look at the fast growing cyber security industry. There's a lot of reasons to like this industry. With more and more of our infrastructure being electrified, and everything from our jobs to our social lives moving online, cyber security has never been more important. In the coming years, the internet of things will connect everything from our fridge to our car, and the advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence will only accelerate this trend.

With this context in mind, protecting critical infrastructure and networks has never been more important. There are a number of great companies (with not so great names...) that offer cyber security services to governments, businesses and individuals. In this deep dive we take a look at the industry, some of its key attributes and how you can invest in it.

In this episode you will learn:

The context for the cyber security industry
Some of the common cyber security risks
The story of notable cyber attacks
COVID's impact on the cyber security industry
Why Bryce hates the name of many cyber security companies
How you can conceptualise the different players in the cyber security industry
