このコンテンツについて

The Business of Cybersecurity is a podcast from the Tech Talks Network that explores where security and business strategy converge.

Hosted by Neil C. Hughes, creator of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, this series examines how today’s enterprises are managing cyber risk while still moving fast and innovating. Through insightful conversations with industry leaders, CISOs, product strategists, and security architects, the podcast brings clarity to the real-world decisions shaping cybersecurity in modern business.

Each episode dives into how companies are responding to regulatory pressure, increasing complexity in cloud environments, and rising expectations from boards and customers. From AI-driven defense and zero trust to skills gaps and risk quantification, we go beyond technical jargon to explore what actually works—and what doesn’t—on the road to building resilient organisations.

Whether you're leading a security team, sitting at the executive table, or simply want to understand the business impact of cybersecurity, this podcast offers honest, grounded perspectives designed to help you make better decisions in an environment that never stands still.

  • Resilience Over Panic: Rethinking Ransomware with Trevor Dearing of Illumio
    2025/06/21

    In this episode of The Business of Cybersecurity, I speak with Trevor Dearing, Director of Critical Infrastructure at Illumio, to unpack some eye-opening truths from their latest ransomware report.

    We explore why more than half of global companies still have to halt operations when ransomware strikes and why so many UK businesses remain reluctant to report incidents. Trevor shares candid insights into what is working, what is not, and why shifting focus from prevention to containment could be the real key to resilience.

    He explains how modern containment tactics like advanced obfuscation and one-click ringfencing can limit damage and keep critical operations running, even when attackers break through. We also discuss why only 13 percent of companies believe their cyber resilience is strong enough and what it will take to close that gap as regulations tighten worldwide.

    If you want a grounded take on how to prepare for the attacks that will inevitably come, rather than just hoping they never do, this conversation is for you.

  • Zscaler on Building Cyber Resilience from the Ground Up
    2025/06/07

    When I spoke with Mark Lluic, CEO in Residence at Zscaler, on the Business of Cybersecurity podcast, we didn't spend time rehashing the basics. We looked at how leadership thinking must evolve. If your security posture is still built for light rain, what happens when a hurricane hits?

    Mark has spent years helping organizations rethink security from the ground up. Instead of chasing alerts or layering new tools onto outdated systems, he advocates for a proactive, systems-first approach. One that prioritizes architecture and continuity over quick fixes.

    Zero Trust Isn't Just for Remote Work

    Zero Trust started as a security fix for remote access, but that's just one piece of the puzzle. Mark made a sharp observation: many companies still trust users more when they're sitting in the office. That's a dangerous assumption.

    Modern Zero Trust means treating all traffic with the same level of scrutiny, regardless of its origin. Every access request should be evaluated based on its context: who is making the request, what device they're using, what they're trying to do, and whether that behavior fits a known pattern.

    The Problem with the Patch-and-Pray Model

    Security teams often react to new threats by throwing more tools into the mix. Over time, this patchwork creates more problems than it solves. Complexity grows, visibility shrinks, and attackers exploit the gaps.

    Mark pointed to research showing that many teams are overwhelmed by the tools they already have in place. Others are held back by outdated systems or a lack of staff with the right skills. That creates a situation where attackers need to succeed once, while defenders must stop everything every time.

    A Better Way Forward: Resilient by Design

    So, what does a stronger strategy look like? Mark recommends starting with architecture. Build systems that expect disruption. Apply continuous risk assessment. Incorporate business continuity from the start rather than as an afterthought. And don't limit Zero Trust to a single use case. Make it your foundation.

    For leaders looking to take action, Mark laid out some clear first steps:

    Start by reviewing where Trust is currently assumed. Challenge those defaults. Apply the same standards inside your network as you do for external traffic. Think about context every time you evaluate access.

    Ensure that your legacy systems are also included in this effort. But remember, you don't need to replace everything overnight.

    Resilience is about ensuring your organization remains standing, regardless of what challenges it faces. That means planning, testing your response, and building security into your infrastructure not bolting it on later.

    Listen to the full episode to hear why this shift is a leadership decision that defines how your organization faces tomorrow's threats.

  • Immersive Labs’ Max Vetter on Closing the Skills Gap Across Cyber Teams
    2025/06/01

    Are junior cybersecurity professionals outpacing their senior colleagues in readiness for modern threats?

    In this episode of The Business of Cybersecurity, Neil C. Hughes sits down with Max Vetter, Vice President of Cyber at Immersive Labs, to examine a surprising trend: less experienced team members are consistently completing more difficult training content than veterans with eight or more years in the field. It’s a data point that challenges assumptions and raises urgent questions about how organizations approach skills development in cybersecurity.

    Max shares findings from recent research that expose worrying gaps in readiness, especially at the senior level, and outlines a practical checklist for building resilient, threat-ready teams. He makes a compelling case for continuous, challenge-based learning across all levels of expertise, not just for new hires, but for seasoned professionals who may risk falling behind.

    Together, Neil and Max explore:

    • Why traditional training approaches might be failing senior professionals
    • How complacency and lack of tailored development can erode cyber resilience
    • The cultural shifts needed to make continuous learning a team-wide priority
    • What boards and business leaders should know about workforce readiness gaps

    Whether you're leading a SOC, managing risk at the executive level, or shaping your organization's cyber strategy, this episode offers real-world insight into the human dynamics behind technical defenses.

    Are we doing enough to upskill cybersecurity veterans before the next threat hits? Tune in and join the conversation.
