In episode 3 of the BCPcast, we take a look at a comparatively new source of risk that has landed in the lap of many already-overworked continuity professionals: cyber. 

Cyber-crime is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it’s evolving at a staggering pace. Highly regimented criminal organisations are employing talented technical professionals to access and exploit privileged systems and data, whilst isolated threat actors enjoy easy access to sophisticated malware that’s affordable and easy-to-use. 

In this episode we talk to continuity professionals and a cyber intelligence expert to look at some non-traditional planning exercises and education programmes that can help to inform existing cyber security programmes and guide user-behaviours towards a high degree of resilience against the emerging cyber threat landscape.

Ever wondered how suet pudding could bring one of the UK’s busiest trading floors to a grinding halt? Or why there used to be a caterpillar in the London Risk Register? The Business Continuity Podcast is a straightforward, jargon-free discussion with people who deal with disasters for a living.

We delve into the exercises and methodologies that keep organisations like The Economist, Fujitsu and the BCI secure and resilient, and explore just how much continuity planning goes into something like the London 2012 Olympics.
