Inside The Global Push For Offensive Cyber And Smarter Defense

Send us Fan Mail

We trace how cyber policy tries to catch up with fast-moving threats, from decades-old laws to a new push for offensive capabilities. Along the way, we unpack what real resilience looks like for SMEs, critical infrastructure, and the talent pipeline that holds it all together.

• Verona’s route from public policy to cybersecurity
• Why slow law and fast threats collide
• Updating the Computer Misuse Act and research protections
• Offensive cyber, deterrence, and ethical guardrails
• Zero days, decision latency, and operational windows
• SMEs and supply chains as systemic risk
• Secure by design and secure by default at scale
• State cyber reserves and public–private secondments
• Talent gaps, pay gaps, and global accreditation
• EU and UK moves to standardize skills and tighten rules
• Government roles in funding, convening, and capability building
