David's Podcast

Cyber attacks on businesses are skyrocketing. Some of the UK's biggest businesses have suffered crippling incidents, costing them hundreds of millions of pounds. But smaller companies are far from immune either. The WEF's latest Global Cybersecurity Outlook Report shows a 48% increase in cybercrime year on year. So, how do you identify the biggest cyber risks in your business? What can you do to protect your company? And what role do your employees play in protecting your business or potentially exposing it to bad actors? David Cloake is joined by leading IT resilience specialist David Sheehan to unpack how cyberattacks are orchestrated, and what steps are actually effective in protecting your business from this rapidly evolving threat. The two Davids even got together to create a free tool to help you assess your company's cyber security risk profile. Details in the episode!

In Episode 1 of Foresight Matters, host David Cloake speaks to international safety learning and development specialist Nuala Gage. Nuala has spent decades consulting to high hazard industries (oil and gas, construction etc) on embedding safety culture into organisations as the norm. From a business resilience perspective, David asks Nuala what the key elements are in building such a culture. How do we get people to believe that bad things happen and we should be prepared daily for disaster in a way that strengthens and makes the business more resilient rather than paralysing progress?Nuala offers several insightful examples of how our communication style and organisational culture around psychological safety play a huge role in changing outcomes when disaster strikes.
