Cryptology is fundamental for the way the internet works today. But what exactly is modern cryptology, and what are the most common areas in which it’s being used?
To guide us through this complex area, Robby’s joined by Bor de Kock, PhD. in Cryptology and Assistant Professor at NTNU.
They talk about some of the main challenges to cryptology these days, encryption security and its limitations, and how Bor expects quantum computing to affect cryptology.
Bor also shares what makes him both optimistic and pessimistic when it comes to the future of internet security.

Physical penetration testing | ISACA series
For this episode that is part of our ISACA series, we’re joined by Rob Shapland, Ethical Hacker/Head of Cyber Innovation at Falanx Cyber.
Rob talks about what he’s learned from his 15 years of testing physical and cyber security for his clients, including more than 200 building intrusions assignments. He explains how these kind of testing assignments work, what usually does work – and what happened the one time he actually didn’t get in.
Robby and Rob talk about the evolution of security testing, and how testing techniques have had to adapt and become more subtle especially the last five years. They also go into the importance of training after assignments like these.
