E12 - A Year On Tap & the Virus Arms Race

IT on TAP turns 1 year old! 🎉 In this milestone 12th episode, Nick and Pieter raise a glass to celebrate a full year of monthly tech-and-beer conversations.This time, we dive into the fascinating history of computer viruses—from the earliest digital mischief-makers to today’s sophisticated cyber threats—and explore how antivirus software emerged in an ever-escalating arms race between attackers and defenders. Along the way, we uncover quirky virus stories, surprising facts, and how this cat-and-mouse game still shapes cybersecurity today.🍺 Our celebratory drink? Brasserie LION 4 Special Blondie, a bold brew with enough bite to stand up to a discussion about viruses—and smooth enough to toast a year of IT on TAP.
