Welcome to The Cyber Pod's brand-new Roadmap Series! In this first episode, we lay the groundwork for building a cybersecurity function and team from the ground up. From foundational governance and risk management to advanced techniques like zero trust and automation, we provide a high-level roadmap that breaks the journey into five essential phases:

1️⃣ Foundational Security
2️⃣ Operational Security
3️⃣ Proactive Defence
4️⃣ Mature Security Operations
5️⃣ Advanced Security

We also discuss the importance of leadership buy-in, tailoring your roadmap to your organisation, and selecting the right people for the build stage. Whether you're starting fresh or looking to enhance your existing setup, this episode provides practical insights to get you on the right track.

Stay tuned for deeper dives into each phase and actionable tips on embedding security into everyday workflows. Next up: Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)!
