Cyber Resilience — How Secure Are You, Really? (ft. Jon Rigby)

Criticaleye's Inspiring Leaders Podcast

Jon Rigby CBE, Senior Cyber Advisor and former Chief Cyber Officer at Liberty Specialty Markets, joins Jacob Ambrose Willson, Senior Editor at Criticaleye, to explore what it truly takes for organisations to build cyber resilience in an increasingly complex and unpredictable threat landscape.

With over 40 years experience across the Royal Air Force, intelligence, cyber operations and commercial advisory roles, Jon offers a unique perspective on how cyber risk is evolving and why many organisations still underestimate its scale.

He explores common misconceptions about cyber attackers, the realities of attribution and state involvement and why cyber must be treated as a strategic business risk rather than a technical issue.

The discussion also looks at how Boards can move beyond a tick box approach and where organisations most often fall short in understanding and managing cyber risk.

Discussion points include:

• Who is behind today’s cyber attacks and how targeting models differ
• The reality of state sponsored cyber activity and the challenge of attribution
• Why Boards often fall into a box ticking approach to cyber risk
• How organisations can better quantify and understand cyber impact
• The importance of independent challenge and realistic testing
• Why cyber resilience depends on preparation, rehearsal and culture
• Common blind spots that lead to failure during live incidents
• The role of third parties in expanding organisational risk exposure

A must listen for senior leaders seeking to strengthen cyber resilience, elevate Board level understanding and lead with confidence in managing evolving cyber risk.
