Cybersecurity Meet-up: How to think like the bad guys

​Join Ross McKelvie (Swordbreaker Ltd / CivTech alumnus) for a deep dive into how real-world cyber attackers think — and how businesses, builders, and buyers can stay ahead.

Talkative Tech, Serious Risks: Cybersecurity in the Age of AI Agents

​We'll also give a practical, plain-English overview of the cybersecurity implications of using AI tools—especially the newer wave of local agents like GPTs that integrate directly with your systems. We’ll look at where these tools overlap with existing security practices, where they introduce entirely new risks, and how to approach them without panicking or burying everything in policy. Whether you’re already working with AI in your business or just experimenting, this talk will offer concrete examples, best-practice advice, and a few cautionary tales—along with a healthy dose of Borders Tech realism.
