EPISODE 7: If Data is the new oil, how do we prevent data spills?

This week we have a very special guest, Reema Vadoliya. Reema is the passionate business founder of data consultancy, People of Data, a gifted storyteller, and a professional problem-solver.  In this episode, Reema shares her insights on how to collaborate more effectively between cybersecurity and data professionals. She emphasizes the importance of empathetic communication, how sometimes quantifying risks is about gut feeling, not just metrics…  We look at how we can use data-driven storytelling to engage and educate people about cybersecurity, including how to make our phishing simulation stats not only more interesting to non-cybersecurity people but also how to make it actually drive meaningful behavioural changes. Links to everything we discuss in this episode can be found in the show notes and if you liked the show, please do leave us a review.
