Episode notes

Have we become so used to data breaches that we no longer stop to think about what they actually mean for the people affected? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Simon Pamplin, CTO at Certes, about why cybercrime remains one of the biggest threats facing businesses and consumers alike. While headlines about ransomware attacks and data breaches appear almost every day, Simon argues that too many organizations are still treating cybersecurity as a technology problem rather than a business risk with real human consequences. Our conversation begins with a simple but powerful question. Why are so many companies still focused on protecting networks when attackers are really after the data itself? Simon explains why traditional perimeter-based security approaches are struggling in a world where information moves between cloud environments, devices, applications, and partners far beyond the boundaries organizations once controlled. We also discuss the personal cost of cybercrime. Behind every breach announcement are real people whose financial records, personal details, healthcare information, and digital identities may have been exposed.
