Portfolio Manager Gareth Brown joined the Shares For Beginners podcast to discuss the risks and opportunities of Blancco (AIM:BLTG), an erasure software and mobile diagnostics business that’s been held in the Forager International Shares Fund since 2017. Gareth also explains why, in our increasingly digital world, cybersecurity isn’t just a trend – it’s only becoming more important.
