10x Finland Podcast

Dr. Eneken Tikk is an internationally acclaimed expert on cybercrime: she consults governments on cyber policy and companies on cybersecurity. She lives in Lieksa, Finland, where, when she's not fighting cybercrime, you may find her helping out at the local coffee shop. Eneken's degree is in international law, and she belonged to one of the teams that built e-Estonia, the world's most advanced digital society.
