Episode details

Episode description

Cybersecurity is often invisible until the moment it fails: a blank screen, an error message, a system suddenly out of reach. But behind those moments sits one of the most important infrastructures of modern life, protecting not only data but the essential services society depends on every day. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in those systems, cybersecurity is no longer just about stopping attacks or preventing failure, but about building resilience into the services that matter most. In this episode of The Age To Come, host Kamal Ahmed is joined by Gavin Kenny, Public Sector, Defence and Healthcare Lead in IBM’s Cyber Security Services Consulting practice. Drawing on more than three decades of experience across public and private sectors, Gavin explores how we can ensure that the technologies designed to connect and support us continue to work when lives are on the line. Join the conversation at The Age To Come, live in London. Find out more: https://www.intelligencesquared.com/the-age-to-come.
