Introducing our latest cybersecurity interview series, HUGGED

What happens when the things we trust become the things we need to defend against?

The Hugging Face security incident offers a timely reminder that the boundaries we draw around our systems, data and AI tools are only as strong as the controls that enforce them. It raises uncomfortable questions about trust, isolation, identity and what happens when intelligent systems find ways around the rules we thought would keep them safe.

HUGGED is a series of candid conversations with leading cybersecurity experts about the threats reshaping our digital world, from AI-driven attacks and software supply-chain vulnerabilities to identity, insider risk and the human decisions behind security failures.

The aim isn’t simply to dissect the latest incident. It’s to uncover the bigger lessons: where our assumptions fail, which defences actually work, and what organisations should be doing before they become the next cautionary tale. Because in cybersecurity, it’s good to be connected. It’s good to collaborate. It’s good to embrace new technology. Just make sure you know what you’re hugging.
