Episode Four - NIS2 Unveiled: The Future of Cyber security Compliance.

Welcome to Episode Four of our podcast! In this podcast episode, we delve into the NIS2 directive, which aims to enhance cyber security resilience in critical sectors across the European Union & and maybe even some of the UK!

Investigate the facts behind the directive:

Impact: Strengthening Cyber Defenses in Energy, Transport, Banking, and More

Unpacked: How UK Companies Navigate Enhanced Cybersecurity Requirements

NIS2 and OT: Expanding Scope, Stricter Security, and Reporting Demands

Compliance: Establishing a Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) for Structured Resilience

Reporting: Understanding "Undue Delay" and Significance in Incident Notification

Directive: Proactive Measures for Cybersecurity Resilience in Critical Sectors

Join us as we uncover the Expanding layers of OT cybersecurity and the adventures of NIS2.

Series 3 - Episode 7 A step back in time to 11 December 2005. 06:01 in the morning. A series of explosions at the Buncefield oil storage depot near Hemel Hempstead shook the surrounding area. The blast could be heard up to 125 miles away and registered 2.4 on the Richter scale. In this episode of Cyber Brews, we explore the three questions posed by the UK Competent Authority following the Buncefield incident and consider how they can help organisations rethink their approach to cybersecurity: 🔹 Do we understand what can go wrong? 🔹 Do we know what systems are in place to prevent this happening? 🔹 Do we have information to assure ourselves that they are working effectively? These questions may sound straightforward, but they raise some important challenges for organisations responsible for critical infrastructure. We discuss how they apply to OT cyber risk assessments, security controls, organisational accountability and the evidence needed to demonstrate that cybersecurity measures are actually working. Because having firewalls, procedures and security policies in place is one thing. Understanding what could go wrong, knowing whether the right protections exist, and having evidence that they remain effective is another. Whether you're an OT engineer, cybersecurity professional, site owner or process safety specialist, join us as we explore how lessons from Buncefield can help us ask better questions about industrial cybersecurity. ☕ Grab a brew and join the conversation. Are we asking the right questions about OT cyber risk?

Series 3 - Episode 3! Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the industrial cyber landscape but is it strengthening critical infrastructure, or introducing entirely new risks? In this episode we explore the growing relationship between AI and OT security, discussing how organisations are beginning to rely on AI-driven technologies within critical infrastructure environments.
