Cyber Heard is the Invitise podcast. The angle is cyber, but it is not just for cyber people: it is for anyone in tech with an opinion on where cyber and AI are taking us. Founders, CEOs and CTOs sit alongside CISOs, security architects and SOC analysts, on what is actually happening in their world and what it means for everyone building and running technology in the UK.
New episodes post weekly, on the hub and on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Work in tech and have something to say about cyber or AI? Get in touch at cyberheard@invitise.com.
