We're excited to share our interview with Luiz Simpson, Head of Offensive Security at Bridewell.
 

As Rachel explains in the intro, Luiz was one of the first people that she interviewed in the industry, so it was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak to him again seven years later.

Luiz shares what drew him to offensive security, how he approaches red teaming engagements, and his advice for managing a team effectively.  

In addition to his work as Head of Offensive Security, Luiz is a STEM Ambassador. Luiz explains what it involves, the benefits of volunteering, and how he drew inspiration from escape rooms to create an activity for students.

Welcome to a new episode of Clearly Cyber, the PRPR podcast. 

In this interview, we talk to Louise Taggart, Senior Manager – Threat Intelligence at PwC UK.

Louise explains what drew her to strategic threat intelligence, what it involves and the value of translating cyber threats into business language. As Louise explains, strategic threat intelligence helps answer questions like So what? Why? What's next? which allow organisations to look at the bigger picture and inform decisions.
