About this episode
Most cyber incidents don’t begin with a hacker.
They begin with a normal business decision made on a busy day.
In this midweek briefing, we unpack one of the most common and costly misunderstandings in organisations: the belief that cyber risk belongs to IT.
Drawing on real-world experience across UK businesses, this episode explains why breaches so often start outside technology teams, how everyday behaviours quietly create exposure, and why accountability matters more than software.
This isn’t about blame.
It’s about ownership.
If you lead people, approve decisions, or set priorities, this episode will help you see cyber risk for what it really is: a business responsibility.
Key takeaway:
Cybersecurity isn’t owned by IT. It’s owned by the business.
