Welcome to techUK's second podcast - the Security special

Talal Rajab presents this month’s episode highlighting the importance of ‘secure by design’ with special guests from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Microsoft

This episode, presented by Talal Rajab, head of cyber security at techUK, centres around making digital products and services ‘secure by design’.

After a news round-up and a review of the techUK Annual Dinner, our first interview with Sian John MBE, Executive Security Advisor at Microsoft, (03:41) looks at whose responsibility it is that our citizens and businesses are cyber secure and how we can respond as an industry to threats.

We are then joined by Ed Venmore-Rowland, senior policy adviser at DCMS, (20:28) to discuss the Department’s white paper on this subject and how industry and government can work together to help protect the country against cyber attacks and reduce the burden on end users by embedding effective cyber security practices at every stage of a connected products lifecycle.
