We grab a front-row seat with Mike Maddison, CEO, NCC Group for a straight-talking tour of modern cyber risk—and why it’s very much a boardroom topic now. From NCC Group’s growth into a global, full‑lifecycle cyber partner to the realities of geopolitics, organised crime and AI-fuelled attacks, we unpack what’s changed (and what hasn’t). Expect practical leadership takeaways, a look at UK resilience efforts, Manchester’s cyber scene, and NCC’s move toward managed, “as‑a‑service” security.
