Cyber Essentials: Prevention Over Cure with Chani and Clive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Pink Room, Bryony Roberts from Pragmatic Consultancy is joined by Chani and Clive Simms of MetaDefence Labs, experts in GDPR, Cyber Essentials, and vulnerability management. Together, they discuss the growing cybersecurity threats facing businesses, the importance of preventative measures, and why board-level engagement is crucial.
Chani, Managing Director and co-founder, shares how Cyber Essentials certification has protected clients from breaches for over a decade when properly implemented, and Clive, CEO and 'the Technical Brains', explains why many businesses are shocked by their first vulnerability report. The conversation covers maturity assessments, prioritising vulnerabilities, Windows 10’s upcoming end-of-life, and the value of understanding and protecting your “crown jewels.”
Have you considered your technology obsolescence, as Chani and Clive leave a clear warning: “Outdated systems don’t just slow you down, they can leave the door wide open to attackers.” Staying secure means keeping pace with both threats and the tools designed to stop them.
