Podcast Description
"Phishing for Trouble" is the cybersecurity podcast that demystifies compliance and information security in your business.
Technology and software are the backbone of modern business, simplifying daily operations and driving innovation.
But when it comes to cybersecurity and compliance, it’s no longer just an IT problem—it’s everyone’s responsibility. Rebecca Harper and David Holloway bring together industry-leading experts to break down high-profile cyber and information security incidents, exploring what went wrong and, crucially, how you can avoid the same pitfalls.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast centers on key topics in cybersecurity such as compliance frameworks, risks associated with data breaches, and market trends. Episode examples include deep dives into incidents like the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack and the CrowdStrike software update failure, each presenting emerging challenges and lessons learned in the cybersecurity landscape.

Compliance, security, privacy, AI risk. There’s a lot of noise out there, and not much of it is useful when you’re the one having to do the work.
Phishing for Trouble is the business resilience podcast from IO (ISMS.online), the platform thousands of teams use to manage compliance and build resilience day to day. Rebecca Harper and David Holloway talk to the security leaders, specialists and business experts they actually learn from, the kind of guests who give you something to take back to your team on Monday.
Honest, practical, sometimes a bit awkward. Always useful.
Looking back at Phishing For Trouble‘s second season, we’ve explored the challenges organisations face as technology, regulation and risk evolve, from supply chain vulnerabilities and AI governance to privacy, operational resilience and what regulators are really looking for.
In this final episode, IO’s Rebecca Harper and David Holloway are joined by Rik Ferguson, Vice President of Security Intelligence at Forescout Technologies and founding Special Advisor to Europol’s European Cyber Crime Centre. Drawing on decades of experience, Rik reflects on the biggest lessons from the series and what organisations need to do to build resilience in an increasingly complex landscape.
Featuring key moments from guests across the season, Rik shares his perspective on why compliance should be treated as the foundation for growth rather than a tick-box exercise, how organisations can prepare for an AI-driven future, what effective resilience really looks like, and why governance, visibility and culture matter just as much as technology.
If you’re wondering what separates organisations that simply react from those that are built to last, this episode brings the whole season together.
