You may be aware that we’ve just launched our new YouTube extension to our content, and this morning we’re publishing our latest interview on it: our chat via Zoom earlier this week with Lisa Ventura, the founder and head of the UK Cyber Security Association.
One of the featured speakers at the first ‘Think Cybersecurity For Government’, scheduled for later in 2020, Ventura took a few precious minutes out of her schedule, which is all about helping her members deal with the Cyber threats of the on-going Lockdown.
Ventura takes us an overview of her organisation’s mission, her own deep interest in the topic as both for its own sake and as a great career (especially for both women and neurodiverse recruits), why government officials at all levels need to get more aware about the growing Cyber threat – and the practical steps she’s doing to help its member organisations #StayHomeSaveLives.

What’s great about the interview is that she also keeps the bigger picture in view, beyond COVID-19, though, including insights into her own evolution as a Cyber expert and her deep interest in encouraging two very under-represented groups in the Security field, women and neurodiverse candidates, get their start in the profession.
We hope you have time today to check out our informative video interview, which is here,
