Boon or Bust

What if the biggest threat to your business isn’t just the hackers, but the way we think about responsibility and culture in cybersecurity? In this eye-opening episode of Boon or Bust, Matt and Peter peel back the layers on why accountability, culture, and human error are the real vulnerabilities in our digital world—and how shifting your mindset can be the key to true security.Cyber threats evolve faster than most organisations can keep up, and yet, many still operate with a blame game mindset that leaves them exposed. From the rise of sophisticated deep fake scams to organisations with zero cybersecurity training, the gap between technology and responsibility is wider than ever. Matt shares revealing insights on why organisations often fail to empower their security leaders—setting them up for failure and risking chaos. Meanwhile, Peter highlights that real cultural change starts from the top, emphasising that cybersecurity is a collective effort, not just a tech problem.Welcome to Boon or Bust, a weekly podcast on the ever-changing landscape of the technological world around us, and how best to navigate it.
