Cyber is a business problem that needs a business partner

Episode notes

Most organisations believe they have a handle on their cyber risk. They have green KPIs, patching reports, and a CISO in post. What many of them do not have is a clear view of what is actually critical to their business, and that gap is where the real exposure lives. Matthew Treagus has been helping people use technology to do interesting things since the eighties, starting with a maths teacher who lent him a computer and a curiosity that never quite went away. Over the decades, he has co-founded a digital agency, been a Partner in a management consultancy and led transformation efforts at a diverse range of businesses. He was CIO and Chief of Staff at Oxford Biomedica - a life sciences business. He now works as a fractional tech exec for a number of organisations. He was a contributor to the NCSC/DSIT Cyber Governance Code of Practice.His approach is grounded in empathy, commercial thinking, and a persistent belief that security works best when it is designed in rather than bolted on.
