Piytr at ABB Group, a $28Bn group headquartered in Switzerland with over 100,000 employees and widely regarded as one of the world's top industrial automation and robotics companies, asked Matthew to educate ABB's employees and finance office on the latest technology and non-technology enabled security threats.
The session followed an earlier, broader look at the future of cyber and security that Matthew ran virtually from Standard Chartered's offices in Accra, Ghana. This time he coached over 17,000 ABB staff on the latest cyber and physical security trends and exploits, showed them how to identify and defend against them, and gave them a 20,000 foot view of how hackers, hacker communities and the serious organised crime industry work.

He then looked at threats from the CFO's office, at behavioural and social engineering techniques, and at future threats including synthetic content and deepfakes. He also discussed what the ability to use quantum computing to crack the majority of today's encryption will mean for ABB's industrial automation products and services, including digital and meta twins.
Finally, he switched to defence, showing staff how to reduce the risk of being compromised and stressing the importance of a Chatham House culture that gives employees the space and freedom to share their concerns without fear of judgement or retribution.
