    Legal Privilege in Managing Cyber Incidents - Let's Talk Cyber with Rebecca Roberts

    Legal Privilege in Managing Cyber Incidents | Let's Talk Cyber Episode 58 with Rebecca Roberts When a cyber incident strikes, organisations are often focused on containing the attack, restoring systems and meeting their reporting obligations. But what about the legal conversations, documents and decisions being created throughout the response? In Episode 58 of Let's Talk Cyber, Tommy McCarthy is joined by Rebecca Roberts, Director and Solicitor at Burness Paull, to explore the role of legal privilege in managing cyber incidents — and why organisations should be thinking about it from the very beginning of an incident, rather than once the dust has settled. Rebecca explains how legal privilege can provide a protected space for organisations and their legal advisers to communicate openly and candidly while responding to a cyber crisis, without every discussion or document potentially becoming evidence in future regulatory action or litigation. They discuss: 🔹 Why legal privilege matters during a cyber incident 🔹 The difference between legal advice privilege and litigation privilege 🔹 Why simply marking a document "legally privileged" isn't enough 🔹 When legal advisers should become involved in an incident response 🔹 How forensic investigation reports can potentially be protected 🔹 Why cyber response communications should be tightly controlled 🔹 How organisations can accidentally waive privilege 🔹 The importance of involving legal teams in key strategic decisions 🔹 Why privilege isn't about hiding information — but creating a protected environment to deal with a crisis properly As Rebecca explains, everything produced during the frantic early stages of an incident could potentially become relevant months or even years later. Building legal considerations into your incident response process from the outset can therefore make a significant difference. 🎙️ Guest: Rebecca Roberts – Director & Solicitor, Burness Paull 🎙️ Host: Tommy McCarthy – Let's Talk Cyber 📺 Episode 58 If you work in cyber security, data protection, incident response, governance or senior leadership, this episode provides an important perspective on an area of cyber incident management that is often overlooked.

    Cyber Attacks: Why you Need Out-Of-Band Communications - Let's Talk Cyber with James Mullins

    Let’s Talk Cyber – Episode 55 | Cyber Attacks: Why You Need Out-Of-Band Communications with James Mullins In this episode of Let’s Talk Cyber, host Tommy McCarthy is joined by James Mullins, Vice President Sales Asia & EMEA at Mattermost, to explore why communication often becomes one of the first things to fail during a major cyber attack. Following a successful executive workshop at Cyber UK, James explains the importance of out-of-band communications — a secure, independent and pre-configured communication channel that allows organisations to stay connected when their primary systems go down. When attackers strike, they do not just target data. They often go after the systems organisations rely on to coordinate their response, including email, Teams, Slack, Active Directory and internal networks. In many cases, IT teams may also need to shut systems down to contain the breach, leaving leaders without the information they need to make critical decisions. 🔑 Highlights from this episode: Why standard communication channels often fail during a cyber attack What out-of-band communications means in a crisis How attackers target collaboration tools and identity systems Why executives can struggle with decision-making during degraded communications The risk of relying on WhatsApp or consumer messaging apps during an incident How regulatory and compliance obligations continue even when systems are offline Why organisations need a secure, auditable and pre-planned communication route before an attack happens As James explains, cyber resilience is not just about preventing attacks or recovering afterwards. It is also about maintaining control during the incident itself — when pressure is high, information is limited, and every decision matters. 📌 Want more conversations like this?

    AI vs OT: Let's Talk Cyber with Ian Gemski

    Let’s Talk Cyber - Episode 54 | AI vs OT with Ian Gemski In this episode of Let’s Talk Cyber, host Tommy McCarthy is joined by Ian Gemski to explore one of the biggest conversations facing operational technology today: what happens when AI meets OT? As critical infrastructure, industrial environments and operational systems become more connected, the role of AI is becoming harder to ignore. From faster threat detection and automated response to the risks of AI-driven attacks, machine-speed decision-making and increased complexity, this conversation looks at both the opportunities and the challenges ahead. 🔑 Highlights from this episode: How AI is changing the cyber security conversation in OT environments Why operational technology requires a different approach to traditional IT security The risks created by automation, connectivity and machine-speed attacks How organisations can prepare for AI-driven threats across industrial systems Why human oversight remains essential when introducing new technology What leaders should be thinking about as AI becomes part of critical infrastructure security As AI continues to evolve, the question is no longer whether it will impact OT — but how organisations can adopt it safely, responsibly and with resilience in mind. 📌 Want more conversations like this?

    When Security Becomes Supervision: The CISO’s 2027 Power Shift - Let's Talk Cyber w PJ Di Giammarino

    Let’s Talk Cyber – Episode 53 | When Security Becomes Supervision: The CISO’s 2027 Power Shift with PJ Di Giammarino In this episode of Let’s Talk Cyber, host Tommy McCarthy is joined by PJ Di Giammarino to explore the changing role of the CISO as cyber security, regulation, AI governance and business risk become increasingly connected. With financial services acting as an early warning sector, PJ explains why regulators are now looking beyond traditional cyber controls and focusing on resilience, data, compute, AI, sovereignty and evidence. As frameworks such as DORA, the EU AI Act and wider AI governance expectations reshape the landscape, the CISO is being pulled into a broader leadership role — one that moves from security oversight to business supervision. 🔑 Highlights from this episode: Why financial services is the early warning sector for CISOs How regulation is expanding the CISO’s influence across the business Why cyber controls now need to evidence wider business risk protection The impact of AI governance, data lineage and resilience requirements How shadow AI and shadow IT are creating new challenges for organisations Why CISOs need stronger collaboration with risk, technology, data and leadership teams What CISOs should be thinking about as they prepare for 2027 budgets As PJ explains, the CISO’s role is no longer limited to defending systems. The future will demand a broader control community, where cyber security leaders help shape how organisations evidence trust, resilience and regulatory confidence. 📌 Want more conversations like this?

    Is AI Taking Over the World? - Let's Talk Cyber with Dr. Ana Rojo-Echeburúa

    Let’s Talk Cyber – Episode 52 | Is AI Taking Over the World? with Dr. Ana Rojo-Echeburúa In this episode of Let’s Talk Cyber, host Tommy McCarthy is joined by Dr. Ana Rojo-Echeburúa, Head of AI at DataVita, to ask one of the biggest questions in technology today: is AI taking over the world? With a background in mathematics, theoretical physics, data science and AI engineering, Ana brings a clear and practical perspective to the conversation. She explains why AI is not as new as many people think, how large language models have changed the way we interact with technology, and why organisations need to think carefully about the infrastructure and governance behind AI adoption. 🔑 Highlights from this episode: Is AI really taking over the world — or are we simply applying it to everything? Why AI has been around for decades, despite the recent hype The risks of misusing AI without governance, security or clear understanding Why organisations need to match the right AI solution to the right problem The importance of AI governance as the foundation of any AI strategy Why “own your AI” and sovereign AI are becoming strategic priorities As businesses race to adopt AI, Ana highlights a simple but powerful message: AI itself is not the danger — the real risk comes from using it without proper governance, understanding and accountability. 📌 Want more conversations like this?

    From Human to Hybrid: Rethinking Insider Threats - Let's Talk Cyber with Findlay Whitelaw

    Let’s Talk Cyber – Episode 51 | From Human to Hybrid: Rethinking Insider Threats with Findlay Whitelaw In this episode of Let’s Talk Cyber, host Tommy McCarthy is joined by Findlay Whitelaw, Field CISO at Exabeam, to explore how insider threats are evolving in an AI-driven world. Traditionally, insider threats were seen as malicious employees, contractors or trusted third parties. But as Findlay explains, the landscape is changing. AI agents, non-human identities, autonomous systems and machine-driven decision-making are now operating inside trusted environments — forcing organisations to rethink what an “insider” really means. 🔑 Highlights from this episode: Why insider threats are no longer just about malicious employees How AI is amplifying human insider risk through phishing, deepfakes, reconnaissance and code generation Why AI agents are beginning to look more like “digital employees” The importance of human accountability when deploying AI systems Why organisations need visibility, governance, access control and behavioural monitoring How AI policies and staff training can help reduce risk across the business As organisations adopt AI at speed, the challenge is no longer just about who has access — it is about how trusted identities, whether human or machine, behave once they are inside your environment. 📌 Want more conversations like this?
