Q&A: Organizations Are Spending Millions On Cybersecurity And Still Getting It Wrong
IT Security Guru, Friday, February 20th, 2026
Cybersecurity expert Purvi Kay spoke to the IT Security Guru about what it takes to be a true cyber leader and what the future of the industry may hold
Cybersecurity threats continue to escalate in scale, speed and sophistication, placing growing pressure on organisations to move beyond reactive defences and rethink how risk is governed at leadership level.
As digital systems underpin everything from national infrastructure to day-to-day business operations, failures in governance, communication and accountability are increasingly being exposed as critical vulnerabilities.
At the centre of this challenge is Purvi Kay, a senior cyber security leader with experience operating in some of the UK's most complex and high-stakes environments. With a background spanning defence, public sector security and secure-by-design leadership, Purvi is widely recognised for reframing cyber security as a cultural and leadership issue, not simply a technical one.
