In this episode, we are joined by one of the UKs most celebrated and inspirational businesswomen - entrepreneur and venture philanthropist, Dame Stephanie Shirley, CH.

Shaped by her experiences as a child refugee, fleeing Nazi Vienna for the UK without her parents at the age of five, Dame Shirley vowed to make her life one worth saving.

In the early 1960s, against all norms of the time, she founded her own women-only software business, pioneering new ways of working and opening doors for women in the workplace. Thirty years later that business was valued at almost $3bn and floated on the London Stock Exchange.

She is now a successful venture philanthropist, supporting causes close to her heart and investing in the future of the technology industry. She has given away the majority of her wealth and is the first person to drop out of the Sunday Times Rich List as a result of philanthropic giving.

Her life, career achievements and generosity are truly nothing less than remarkable.

Cyber security “blue teams” work to ensure computer networks are secured and protected against cyber attacks. A subset of blue teams are Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) teams which specialise in piecing together evidence to understand if and how a cyber attack has taken place.

In this episode, we’ll be exploring tales from the frontline of Digital Forensics and Incident Response. What lessons can we learn from DFIR war stories and what are the cyber trends being seen in the latest incidents.

To help you explore this topic, we are joined by Simon Lang, Head of Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) at Mazars. With over 14 years of experience serving clients globally with his DFIR expertise. He has experience managing, scoping, planning and delivering a wide range and scale of DFIR engagements. Simon is also an Assessor in Incident Response for CREST (The Council for Registered Ethical Security Testers).

The military has been tackling complex and rapidly evolving threats for centuries. As the cyber security industry matures, so do the capabilities of cyber adversaries and malicious actors. Those protecting against cyber-attacks must continue to adapt and adjust strategies to meet the threat much as the military does.

In this episode, we’ll be exploring how we can counter cyber threats using military strategies. How does cyber warfare vary from traditional warfare and what lessons can the industry learn from the military's approach to cyber?

To help you explore this topic, we are joined by Chris Parker MBE, Director of Government Strategy at Fortinet.  As an experienced military officer, Chris has extensive first-hand experience with military strategies. Chris's business career spans 15-years, during which he has worked in oil and gas, major construction projects and recently specialising in cyber security.
