In Episode 2 of The Cyber Pod, hosts Kash and Tariq dive into the basics of cybersecurity and explain why it's crucial for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a small startup or a large corporation, cyber threats are real, and understanding how to protect your organisation is key to long-term success.

Kash and Tariq share personal insights, practical examples, and the National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC) simple definition of cybersecurity. They break down the CIA Triad—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—and discuss why no business is too small to be a target.

Plus, hear a real-world story of how a small accounting firm ignored cybersecurity risks, leading to serious consequences, and learn how you can avoid making the same mistakes.

This episode sets the stage for a deeper dive into regulations like GDPR and how they enforce cybersecurity in future episodes. Whether you're new to the topic or looking for a refresher, this episode offers valuable lessons for all business leaders.
