In this special episode of the podcast, we’re joined by Glenn, whose remarkable journey has taken him from a curious young technologist to studying AI, becoming one of the industry’s most recognised ethical hackers, and ultimately founding his own cybersecurity organisation, Agger Labs.

Glenn shares the experiences and lessons that have shaped his career, from discovering the world of ethical hacking to building the skills and mindset needed to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. We explore how cybersecurity has evolved throughout his career, what separates a good hacker from a great one, and how the rapid rise of AI is changing both cybercrime and cyber defence.

We also dive into Glenn’s journey from ethical hacker to founder, the challenges of leadership and building an organisation, and the mission behind Agger Labs. At the heart of the conversation is a cause Glenn is particularly passionate about: taking the fight directly to ransomware groups and, quite literally, sticking two fingers up to ransomware.

What happens when geopolitics moves from the battlefield into our news feeds, social media and everyday lives? In this episode, we’re joined by Stuart Jubb to explore the increasingly blurred lines between technology, influence and global power. We discuss who is really driving online conversations, how algorithms, bots and state-backed influence campaigns can shape public debate, and whether misinformation and disinformation have become powerful tools of modern conflict.

We also unpack the growing role of cyber in geopolitical competition, and ask how AI-generated content and deepfakes could make influence operations even harder to detect. Most importantly, we explore what governments, organisations and individuals can do to build resilience, protect trust and navigate an increasingly complex information environment.

We explore what it means to make critical decisions with incomplete information, tight deadlines, and significant consequences-and how challenging experiences can create opportunities for growth.

We also dive into Adam’s work on the Six Pillars of Incident Response, his approach to positive leadership in high-pressure environments, and the personal values and mindset that have helped him stay grounded throughout his career.

In the first episode of Season 4, Amelia and Rebecca sit down with Rebecca Reynolds-Jones of the Institute of Directors, to explore what cybersecurity really looks like for small and medium-sized businesses.

We discuss how SMEs can make meaningful improvements to their cyber resilience without unlimited budgets or resources, from setting practical priorities and measuring resilience to building a security culture that genuinely changes behaviour. We also explore why people should be seen as part of the cybersecurity solution rather than the problem, and look at the positive changes giving us reasons to be optimistic about the future of cyber risk. Finally, we look ahead to what we hope will change in the way SMEs understand and manage cybersecurity over the next five years.
