Yusuf On SecuritySecurity news, opinion and advice

269 – Cyber Resilience in 2026 – The Skills Gap, Team Readiness, and What Security Leaders Must Do Now

Hosted by
Yusuf

In this week’s episode, I am joined by my good old friend Shakel Ahmed, a cybersecurity practitioner with over 20 years of experience across some of the most demanding environments in the industry. We are covering the importance of skills and cyber resilience — and this is particularly important for those of you who are responsible for building and maintaining security teams, managing risk at a strategic level, or simply trying to figure out where to focus your energy in an industry that never sits still. Whether you are an analyst wondering which skills will keep you relevant in the age of AI, or a CISO trying to ensure your organisation can absorb a hit and keep operating, this conversation is for you. Shakel brings a practitioner’s perspective — not theory, not vendor talk — just hard-won insight on what it actually takes to build resilient people, resilient processes, and resilient organisations. So grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s get into it.
