Join industry leaders from Orange Cyberdefense as they dive into the latest cyber threats, trends, and tactics. Safer Digital Society podcast brings expert insights, real-world stories, and actionable advice to help UK organisations stay secure and ahead of the curve.
In this episode: Scott and Stuart forecast the future of cybercrime. This episode looks beyond ransomware to a new reality in 2030 where hackers steal data but don't encrypt it. Discover the next possible evolution of threats, including how organised criminals are creating "Amazon-like" marketplaces for data and using AI for highly targeted blackmail. Also part of the discussion: the risk of losing control of your cloud services.
In this episode: Imagine waking up to find your sensitive data exposed on a breach forum. It's a terrifying thought, and the reality is, you might not even know the extent of the damage. When attackers gain access, a comprehensive investigation across your entire network is crucial to pinpoint vulnerabilities and prevent future breaches.
In this episode: Join us as the SDS takes on cases from the future to prevent the attacks of tomorrow. Scott and Stuart unpack the emerging risks of AI—from tools like ChatGPT to in-house large language models—and what they mean for your organisation. If your team is embracing AI, this is the conversation you need to hear.
