BACK on Air is the podcast for operators who have compliance on their mind and road transport at the heart of their business.

In this episode, we’re joined by guest speaker Neil Topham from rradar as we take a practical look at cyber risk, legal updates, and operational resilience for transport operators.

From cyber attacks and counter-terrorism awareness to the latest guidance surrounding Martyn’s Law, this session explores the growing pressures facing operators and what businesses can do to improve resilience in an increasingly complex risk environment.

We explore:

  • The Knights of Old cyber attack case study – what happened, how a single weak password contributed to the collapse of a 158-year-old haulage business, and the key lessons for operators
  • Practical cyber risk management – including prevention, response, recovery, and improving cyber resilience across your operation
  • Martyn’s Law latest guidance (April 2026) – what’s changed and what transport operators need to understand in practice
  • Counter-terrorism considerations for operators, including vehicle use awareness and wider operational responsibilities
  • What the UK National Threat Level being raised to Severe means for operators and the wider transport sector

This session is packed with practical guidance and real-world insight to help operators better understand emerging risks and strengthen operational resilience.
