In this episode, we talk with Heather Lowrie, experienced CISO and independent advisor about the importance of resilience as a core leadership trait, how responsbility for cyber leaders extends beyond the boundaries of our organisations and finally we touch on how we address the challenges for women in cybersecurity leadership specifically. It's a good one! We hope you enjoy. 

In this episode, we chat with Melissa Gurney, CEO of Punk Security about her background in the RAF, her career and her thoughts and views on leadership; ranging from working with remote teams and compassion at work to experiencing bias and Melissa's rekindled love - trail running!

In this episode, we chat with John Haren, PhD Researcher at Dublin City University and Associate Lecturer at the Open University about the research that he has been conducting in Ireland on continued professional development in cybersecurity. 

We talk about what motivated John to undertake this research, his own experience of professional development in the sector, and the key findings and insights that he has taken from his research relating to the importance of developing behavioural skills and the role of effective leadership in shaping the future of the sector. 

This is our very first, introductory episode for our brand new podcast series - 'The Leading Cyber Podcast' - talking about all things leadership and its impact on the cybersecurity sector.

This first episode introduces us to the Leading Cyber founders, Annabel Berry and Danielle Phillips. They chat about the organisation's work and mission and why they chose to focus particularly on the area of leadership and the challenges they currently see associated with that, which impacts the industry.
