It’s a first in the Cyber Series as in this episode we’re joined by Will Middleton, Cyber Director at the FCDO. Together, we delve into the evolving cyber threat landscape, discussing its impacts and future trajectories. Tune in for insights on strategies and actionable steps to combat cyber proliferation.

Welcome to life beyond passwords! In this episode, we explore the significance of passwords and envision a world without them. Despite their drawbacks, why are passwords still pervasive? Listen as we discuss the challenges of transitioning away from passwords and our pragmatic approach to password management best practices. Correction: at 19:37 we stated that a hardware token doesn’t count as a passkey, but this is incorrect – the FIDO alliance would now describe a hardware token as an example of a single-device passkey.

In this episode, we will uncover the crucial role of sharing cyber security insights. From enhancing resilience to fostering collective defence, discover why sharing information is paramount in combating cyber threats.
