Today we chat with Jag Bains, CTO at DOSarrest, about what life is like working for industry-leading DDOS mitigation specialist, DOSarrest.
As usual with Jim’s interviews, we cover a variety of topics – we hear from Jag about the reason DDOS protection is SO important and the damage attacks cause targeted organisations, to the importance of having the correct infrastructure to deal with attacks and what he suggests.
Jag tells us his advice for people wanting to make the transition into DDOS mitigation, the attitude and skillsets required and importantly, the tips he would give to anyone wanting to work in this field.
As always, if you have any questions for Jag (or Jim), leave us a comment or drop us a line: hello@razorthorn.com.
