Cyber Uncovered - Episode Eight: Cyber Risk Starts at the Top: What Your Board Needs to Know

Cyber risk isn't an IT problem - it's a board-level responsibility. In this episode of Cyber Uncovered, Mitigo explains why 43% of UK businesses are hit by cybercrime each year despite security spending more than doubling since 2018, and why the real gap isn't a lack of technology, but a lack of assurance that it's actually working. We cover the government's Cyber Governance Code of Practice, how AI is making attacks faster, cheaper, and more convincing, and why leaving cyber oversight to your IT provider or MSP means they're effectively marking their own homework. We also walk through real case studies, including a firm whose backup restore ended up reintroducing ransomware straight back into their system, and a law firm breached despite having MFA and conditional access in place.
