In this episode, Steve Durbin speaks with Juliette Foster on Business Matters about why political transitions test the resilience of every system beneath them, cyber included.
They explore what’s at stake as old priorities change hands and strategies get re-evaluated during a leadership transition, covering what government, business, and the people caught in between need to navigate as the UK moves through this shift.
We need to shift focus now – not just onto the technical aspects, but onto the people element, because that becomes the weakest link.
Key Takeaways:
- Cyber resilience must survive a leadership transition, not just a crisis. Like a corporate takeover, the “crown jewels” need to stay protected during the handover, not tampered with.
- Digital exclusion is a national security risk, not just a fairness issue. Hostile actors always go for the weakest link.
- The technical side of cyber is old news. The real, harder-to-fix weakness now is people.
