  • S35 Ep3: The Silent Risk in M&A: Cyber Security Oversights That Cost Millions

    S35 Ep3: The Silent Risk in M&A: Cyber Security Oversights That Cost Millions
    Jun 17 2025
    Financial due diligence is common practice when companies merge or one business acquires another. Cyber security due diligence, however, is not quite as common. Yet, in a world where the threat landscape changes by the day and risk is growing increasingly complex, solid cyber security practices are more important than ever.

    Today, Steve and Tavia dig into this very topic, and, more specifically, what role cyber security has in a merger or an acquisition. How is a cyber security review done? Why are they important? How do we balance speed with thoroughness? How do we interpret the results? There’s a lot to dig into here.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Cyber due diligence is paramount in a corporate acquisition or merger.
    2. Risks of not doing cyber due diligence include both financial and reputational.
    3. Cyber due diligence is a team game.
    Tune in to hear more about:
    1. Who should be responsible for conducting the cyber review (4:34)
    2. How organizations can build cyber into their due diligence process (14:05)
    3. Examples of where insufficient cyber due diligence proved costly (19:05)
    Standout Quotes:
    1. “You can't play a team sport without a team. And for me, M&A is a team game. You can't go it alone. I think it would be a mistake for somebody to think that they could do this kind of work solo. Because as we've seen with cyber maturing, it now touches so many different parts of the organization. You do need to be involved.” - Steve Durbin
    2. “I think people are getting it. What I'm seeing now is people get it, but they don't know how to do it. That's where the cyber professional really now has to step up.” - Steve Durbin
    3. “Pre-deal, I think it is about being focused. It's about identifying, prioritizing the high risk areas that are out there that you want to look into. It's about doing things like making sure that the governance is there. It's about scanning for some of the known vulnerabilities. If you are in one particular market sector and you're buying a company in another because of expansion growth, you're going to need to be covering off a whole range of different things that perhaps might be unusual for you because you haven't been having to look into those areas.” - Steve Durbin

  • S35 Ep2: Lauren Farina - Rest After Stress: The Psychology of High Performance

    S35 Ep2: Lauren Farina - Rest After Stress: The Psychology of High Performance
    Jun 10 2025
    Today, Steve speaks with Lauren Farina, psychotherapist and founder of Invited Psychotherapy & Coaching. Lauren and Steve discuss how wellness is becoming a bigger part of the workplace and how we can stay mentally healthy during times of stress and pressure. Also an expert on “high-performance individuals,” Lauren shares what it means to be high-performing and why rest can be just as productive as work.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Being a high-performer isn’t just about work.
    2. Rest is productive
    3. Building psychological safety within an organization is the most important contributor to elite performance.
    Tune in to hear more about:
    1. What the “High Performer Archetype” is (6:15)
    2. The risks of not taking time to rest (11:22)
    3. How leaders can improve the performance of their teams (19:33)
    Standout Quotes:
    1. “ As many of us know, acute stress is quite good for us. But in the long term, the chronic unrelenting demands that I think remote working arrangements have placed on the workforce, really can erode our performance because our cognitive functioning is not at its peak when we're chronically stressed, our memory, our learning, our judgment, our decision making is compromised.” - Lauren Farina
    2. “ There was a five -year study at Google called the Aristotle Project, and the Aristotle project found that psychological safety is the single most important factor when it comes to the elite performance of individuals and groups.“ - Lauren Farina
    3. “ It is my hope that there will be an increased focus on intersectionality of performance and wellbeing and increased support of individuals and groups in cultivating wellbeing. Not only for the sake of wellbeing, but also for the sake of peak performance.” - Lauren Farina

  • S35 Ep1: Retaining Control: Empowering Innovation Without Losing Sight of Risk

    S35 Ep1: Retaining Control: Empowering Innovation Without Losing Sight of Risk
    Jun 3 2025
    Today, Steve Durbin and ISF Podcast Producer Tavia Gilbert are in conversation exploring the role of cybersecurity, governance and leadership in an age defined by rapid technological transformation. Artificial intelligence is now woven into daily business operations, risk models, customer engagement, and more. And while its benefits are significant, its risks are expanding just as quickly.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. It’s becoming increasingly apparent for leaders that cyber impacts every part of the business.
    2. AI will not replace humans in the workplace, but rather redefine what work humans do.
    3. If you as a business leader don't have clarity about what your values and ethics are by now, you better get started.
    Tune in to hear more about:
    1. What happens if businesses don’t implement a robust framework for ethical AI use (8:51)
    2. The role of the board when implementing AI into business operations (19:49)
    3. How to lead through change (24:20)
    Standout Quotes:
    1. “When cyber is involved early, it really can become a value enabler. It helps the business make smarter bets, helps it to avoid blind spots and build that sort of trust that we're looking for into everything that it does.” - Steve Durbin
    2. “AI, it does introduce huge amounts of potential, but it also introduces a new layer of risk that is more complicated, dynamic and probably difficult to manage than many people actually think or are prepared for. And one of the biggest challenges is that AI doesn't just create new vulnerabilities, it changes the nature of the threat landscape completely.” - Steve Durbin
    3. “AI is not some kind of future technology. It's been around for a very long time. Certainly in cyber terms anyway, at least 10 years, if not more. It's a lifetime in cyber, so it's not a future technology, it's here. It's shaping the way that we work, that we think, and indeed that we compete. So the question isn't whether we should engage with it, it's how do we do so responsibly and effectively. And the organizations that retain control are those that lead with clarity.” - Steve Durbin
