Unhackable by Design: Businesses to Survive Future Cyber Attacks

Martin Boyd from Vertex walks through how to build a business that's genuinely hard to breach, practical steps beyond the usual security checklist.

Martin Boyd takes you beyond compliance theatre into the actual engineering mindset that stops attackers. Rather than rattling off security frameworks, he walks through how to architect your business so breach attempts fail at multiple layers, starting from your earliest decisions about infrastructure and team. You'll hear what separates companies that get compromised from those that don't, plus the practical trade-offs between security and velocity that most founders get wrong. This lands somewhere between technical deep dive and strategy session, aimed at founders and early-stage tech leaders who recognise security as a competitive advantage rather than a checkbox.
