In our latest explosive episode, we uncover the nuanced world of modern cybersecurity, spotlighting hot topics from compliance and performative security to the impact of AI on cybersecurity!

Alex Hammond is joined by cybersecurity experts Costas Kourmpoglou and Dave Wilson as they dissect whether industry accreditations provide true protection or merely a “security theatre” effect.

Get insights on how emerging regulatory frameworks are reshaping business resilience and if today’s compliance measures are truly moving the needle on risk management.

Plus, a candid look at the privacy implications of Gen AI: Are we sacrificing our data in the name of innovation? With industry-wide impacts of AI’s data usage and the potential for AI-driven SOC solutions, the team explores how AI is both a powerful tool and a security risk.
