Secure Talk Podcast

It seems a new security crisis is emerging at a weekly pace. The emergence of critical security breaches, data exposures and digital infrastructure failures has vastly accelerated in the last 5 years.

What happens when your job is to operate in a crisis? Join us for the next episode of Secure Talk where we sit down with Vice Admiral Mike LeFevre (ret.) the CEO of Concentric Security and Roderic Jones ex-Scotland Yard and Executive Chairman of Concentric as they share their deep experience in crisis management. Their valuable insights were gleaned as Mike LeFevre commander, Office of the Defense Representative to Pakistan during the killing of Osama Bin Laden and as Roderick Jones served for Scotland Yard’s Special Branch focused on international terrorism. Their insights delve into four key phases of crisis management—911 moments, second and third-order effects, steady state, and the road to normalcy—while underscoring the importance of leadership, preparation, and external relationships. They also highlight the critical need for cyber risk management in today's evolving threat landscape. This episode also covers their book, 'End Game First: A Leadership Strategy for Navigating a Crisis,' which serves as a guide for cybersecurity leaders.
