Bias affecting reporting
Some episodes are better than others.

CYBER UNCUT: Meta buys out Moltbook, and understanding insider threats with special guests from Clayton Utz

Q: What practical steps can CISOs take to reduce insider risk without hampering business speed?

Tie risk to business priorities, map who has access to critical data, implement transparent security programs, and deploy monitoring that doesn't feel like policing, plus HR collaboration to address culture and reporting mechanisms.

CYBER UNCUT: Meta buys out Moltbook, and understanding insider threats with special guests from Clayton Utz

Q: What are the core forms of insider threat you've seen, and how should companies watch for them?

The discussion covers access control to crown jewels, the difference between malicious and non-malicious insiders, and how monitoring and data classification at Uber helps identify risky exfiltration patterns like emailing data to personal accounts.

Q: Was that ever an issue for your electorates in Plymouth Moorview? Or not?

The answer is that it has not been an issue; generations have lived near dockyards with nuclear reactors, and there is broad comfort with nuclear power in the UK, though a few voices dissent as with any topic.
