This month's podcast is hosted by Dave Jones and Oliver Mountain. We welcome Jonathan Wood, CEO of cybersecurity consultancy C2 Cyber.

We break down some of the reasons why cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important, and what we as procurement professionals need to consider around this topic.

Jonathan breaks down some of the risks, and explains that often the risk comes from weaknesses within the supply base:

• B2B vs. B2C businesses - some well-documented examples are cyber breaches at Maersk, British Airways and Spar, where the attack each time came through a supplier.
• Managing professional service providers - personal data within professional services provider is potential weak link.
• How to deal with small, non-tech savvy businesses to ensure that you're protecting the potentially most vulnerable parts of your supply chain
• Geopolitical risk and how to manage this from a cyber risk perspective
• How diligent is the internal process when deciding who to source goods or services from?
