teissPodcast - Cracking Cyber Security

As supply chains grow in size and complexity, so does the technology, data, transactions, users, and therefore the cyber security risk. According to the 2016 Security Breaches Survey, very few UK businesses set minimum security standards for their suppliers….So, how can organisations gain an improved awareness of supply chain security and how can they work better with their suppliers?

TEISS talks with Martin Smith, MBE, Chairman and Founder of SASIG, The Security Awareness Special Interest Group, which aims to improve trust in the online environment.

Estonia's e-revolution began in the 1990s, not long after independence from the Soviet Union. However the massive cyber breach of 2007 was a wake-up call for the country, helping Estonians become experts in cyber defence today.

With us this week is Joseph Carson, Chief Security Scientist at Thycotic, to discuss what other nations can learn from Estonia, particularly through developing a digital identity program for all citizens. Originally from Belfast, Joseph has been based in Estonia since 2003.

This week TEISS talks crisis communications!

On this episode, we’re talking to a host of brilliant women who are making a difference in cyber security.

What subliminal messages discourage girls from pursuing a career in tech?

How can women tackle ingrained prejudices in the workplace?

Does the key to unlocking AI's potential lie in studying the liberal arts?

Should we adopt gender neutral names?

How can we better protect our children online?

Just some of the questions explored on this week's programme.

On this week’s podcast, TEISS talks with Robert Hannigan, former head of GCHQ at the launch of the London Office for Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement (LORCA), an accelerator for cyber security start-ups, which was officially opened last week by Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Matt Hancock. Robert shares his thoughts on how the UK is currently faring when it comes to cyber security, what cyber protocols he’d like to see put in place, as well as why he won’t be racing back to Whitehall anytime soon. On this podcast we’ll be hearing from two of the start-ups included in the first LORCA cohort; B-Secur which specialises in using biometric heartbeat as an authentication solution and Zone Fox – an insider threat detection solution. More interviews with the other start-ups will be published soon.
