In this episode of Tea & Trend, Jonathan Lee is joined by Bob McArdle, Director of Cyber Crime Research at Trend Micro, to unpack the evolving cyber threat landscape and its implications for the UK public sector.
Together, they explore the rise of social engineering attacks, the growing use of AI by both adversaries and defenders, and the urgent need for public sector cybersecurity to adapt. From deepfakes and disinformation campaigns to ransomware policy and cyber incident response, Bob shares insight into how threat actors are innovating—and how cybersecurity professionals and Government's leaders must respond. The discussion also delves into law enforcement collaboration, recent takedowns like LockBit, and the changing tactics of cybercriminal groups.
With references to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), and developments around the Cybersecurity & Resilience Bill from the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT), this episode provides a comprehensive look at cyber strategy, legacy systems, and regulatory reporting in the context of national resilience and the Government's industrial strategy.
Whether you’re a policy-maker, IT leader, or cyber resilience advocate, this episode is essential listening for navigating the next generation of digital defence.
