An Information Security Visionary, with a medical degree and a commercial pilot's license, Tippett joins Kojo to talk about how he created the first-ever commercial anti-virus software (the precursor of what's now known as Symantec Norton Anti-Virus), and share his views on security and risk in the 21st Century.
