    Vibe Coding & Real Security Risks with John Boero

    Is Your AI Tool Sharing Your Secrets? With over 20 years in infrastructure, security, and cloud consulting across the US, Europe, and beyond, John Boero has seen what happens when teams move fast and skip the fundamentals. In this episode, John and Katie get into the real risks of vibe coding, why the lost art of code review is coming back to bite development teams, and what security leaders actually need to understand about AI and data privacy. They also tackle the tension between dev and security teams, when cloud-first is the wrong call, and why your most valuable old-school developers might be the ones you're overlooking. If you're responsible for infrastructure, security, or how your organisation builds and ships software, this one's worth your time.

    Closing the Gap Between Cyber and the Board with Esther Hitch

    For the first episode of Cyber Security In Focus, host Katie Watson sits down with Esther Hitch, former British Army officer, Deloitte alumna, and cyber security advisor to boards and executives across the public and private sectors. They get straight into one of the most persistent problems in the industry: why cyber security still struggles to land at board level, and what needs to change on both sides of that conversation. Esther shares what she looks for when she walks into an organisation for the first time, how language, culture, and relationships reveal more about security maturity than any tool or framework ever will. She's direct about where cyber leadership is falling short, why the pendulum has swung too far towards pure technical hiring, and what it actually takes to move from siloed IT function to genuine business enabler. They also cover the ROI problem, how do you demonstrate value when success means nothing happened? and why information sharing across the industry is one of the most underused defences we have. Esther closes with a practical checklist: three to five things any security professional should look at this week. Not to fix them. Just to know where you stand. If you're in cyber, lead a team, or sit anywhere near a board table, this one's worth your time.
