We regularly post our thinking here because ideas are best shared. It might be our approach to solving a problem (we’re not fans of reinventing the wheel!), perhaps simply something else entirely that has piqued our interest! We cover methods for cyber risk assessment, approaches for cyber risk quantification, tools and templates for cyber risk management, tips for running successful security programmes, and much more!

You can join us at @cydeaHQ on Twitter, or our LinkedIn page to discuss any of our posts. If you’d like to know each time we add a new post, you can subscribe for notifications and a few other choice bits of content.
