Why a 0% Phishing Click Rate Might Be Lying to You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They put a fat green 0% on the slide and everyone nodded like it meant victory. Gary, a builder with plasterboard and vans on his mind, sips his tea and wonders why cyber security suddenly sounds like someone else’s problem — until the hosts pull that cheerful number apart. What looks like perfect protection can be a mirage: a workforce trained to pass one test but not to spot the real, messy tricks criminals use when a delivery is late or an invoice changes. In this episode, Noel and Morvan wal
When AI Could Make You Speak: Trust, Consent, and Synthetic Voices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It begins with a simple, uneasy question: can the system make Graham say something he never said? The hosts — Lucy, Noel and Graham — turn a nagging fear into a tense, curious investigation as they lift the curtain on how this podcast is made. What follows is less technical lecture and more confessional road‑test: rehearsal recordings, AI voice models, and the missing line that could break a Monday‑morning episode. That single scenario becomes a moral pressure test for rules that sound good on p
We Found the Admin Password in the Dark Web: A GRC Wake-Up Call (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It begins like a quiet, ordinary audit: an annual security check, the kind of routine that should leave you reassured. Instead, it ends with a single line of data that changes everything — the password for a shared Microsoft 365 admin identity appears in a dark web credential dump. What follows is not a thriller about dramatic hacks and midnight ransom notes, but a far more unsettling story about assumptions, convenience and the slow drift from policy to peril. Lucy, Noel and Graham walk you thr
Prove It — When Boardroom Confidence Meets Real-World Controls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We start with a number: 94% — the share of UK business leaders who say they’re confident they could detect and respond to a cyber attack. Then we add the counterpunch: 47% require two‑factor authentication, 31% report board‑level ownership of cyber, and just 5% hold Cyber Essentials. That mismatch is the spark for a story about confidence, evidence, and what really happens when theory meets a real incident. In this episode two hosts trade barbed banter and hard questions, peeling back the myths
Passkeys Aren't Dead — What a Week of Panic Taught Us About Risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Right before our episode even starts, Lucy fires off eleven frantic links and a small panic spreads across the internet. By link six the certainty that passkeys and MFA have been obliterated is trending, and by link eleven everyone’s convinced civilisation ends at lunch. But the truth is never that neat — it’s messier, quieter and far more instructive. This episode unpicks the chaos: two separate technical stories, one social-media meltdown, and the same underlying culprit everywhere — assumptio
