Simon Rycroft’s Post

It’s become a jungle out there in the cyber security industry of late. Those who claim to have all the answers to our cyber woes often prey on the sensitivities of the ill-informed (or of those who are just plain scared). But the nature of the cyber security challenge is so multi-faceted, and so fast-moving, that NO-ONE has all the answers. This is where I’d usually guide the narrative towards the importance of a risk-based approach, but today my point is even more fundamental…. It sometimes takes a leap of faith, but we can only really succeed as a profession if we learn to TRUST in those who complement our own perspectives and capabilities, and if we embrace the power of PARTNERSHIP - as individuals, as organisations and even as nations. At #CIISECLIVE23 last week my colleague Simon Moore facilitated a great session with Ollie W. of the National Cyber Security Centre and Joe Hancock from Mishcon de Reya LLP . The subject? The power of partnership. #trust #partnershipsmatter #cyberrisk
