No A-Levels, No Degree: How Curiosity Built a Multi-Million Pound Startup

On today's edition of 'Tech Talks' David talks to Vincent Cook, the founder of Cyb3r Operations, to talk about a critical blind spot in cybersecurity: third-party risk.

From leaving school at 16 to raising $5.4 million, Vincent shares how he is bridging the gap between perceived risk and real exposure. Discover why most organizations underestimate their external ecosystem by up to 30x and how a partnership-led culture is redefining trust in cyber operations. Not just a brilliant look at the evolving cyber market, this episode is a must listen for any aspiring entrepreneurs.
