This episode of the DM-Mi Podcast takes an inside look at the recent Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack — one of the most disruptive and costly breaches in UK history.

Guest Chris Woods, Founder & CEO of CyberQ Group, explains how the attack unfolded, what made it so devastating, and why the UK Government’s £1.9 billion intervention marked a turning point in national cyber resilience.

The conversation explores the evolving tactics of hackers, the rise of AI-powered ransomware, and how IoT vulnerabilities — from smart devices to connected factories — create hidden risks for organisations. Chris also shares practical guidance on cyber readiness, from monitoring and multi-factor authentication to managing human error and insider threats.

The episode closes with a look at Birmingham’s growing tech scene and what the West Midlands can do to become a leading hub for cybersecurity innovation.
