Transatlantic Cable podcast, episode 57

In this edition of the Kaspersky Lab podcast the teams from the Transatlantic Cable and Arabic podcasts team up to discuss privacy.

As mentioned in last week’s podcast, we have a special podcast for this week since the Kaspersky Lab annual corporate communications meeting. This year, we were in Dresden, Germany, so Dave and I sat down with the members of the Kaspersky Arabic Podcast, Ahmed and Baseem to discuss privacy.

The takes come from different areas of the world where we have grown up as well as how we feel personally about the topic.
