The National Cyber Resilience Centre Group (NCRCG) have just released the newest episode of the podcast, ‘Cyber Versed’, in collaboration with their latest National Ambassador - Sir Robert McAlpine. Hosted by Mandy Haeburn-Little, ‘Cyber Versed’ is the NCRCG’s regular podcast that casts a spotlight on all things cyber, facilitating interesting and important conversation.

In episode 31, Mandy Haeburn-Little chats with the team at Sir Robert McAlpine, a valued member of our growing portfolio of National Cyber Resilience Centre Group National Ambassadors. Mandy is joined by Andy Black, Chief Information Security Officer, and Rachel Lloyd-Moseley, Head of Procurement - Nuclear.

Sir Robert McAlpine describes itself as a family building and civil engineering company with a desire to be renowned for their work with clients and communities as they construct a better world for future generations.

Sir Robert McAlpine's strong family values indeed come across in the discussion, which looks at the history of the company, the sectors where they work and the inter-department collaboration across a wide variety of projects. The chat also explores why Sir Robert McAlpine joined NCRCG as a National Ambassador and how it is a perfect fit with their commitment to raising awareness of cyber security throughout their supply chain.

It's a fascinating and engaging conversation during which Andy and Rachel provide examples of how the company is embracing AI to achieve greater levels of efficiency and safety.
