Steve Bassi's first job enabled him to get up to "teen mischief" on the computer systems of local businesses in the Californian farming town where he grew up. It proved to be just the start he needed to break into the world of cyber security, where the chief executive of Narf Industries is an expert in developing software that can detect threats and defend complex commercial and military computer networks from hackers.
Episode 12 of the All Points West Podcast takes us on a journey from Steve's humble farming roots, through the Naval Research Laboratory and top secret US defence projects, his passion for Muay Thai kickboxing and listing Narf on the London Stock Exchange.
