E26: Cyber Intelligence, Misinformation & Digital Trust with ZeroFox’s AJ Nash

In this thought-provoking episode of the Cyber & Risk Leaders Podcast, AJ Nash, VP of Intelligence at ZeroFox, joins Matthew Davies, VP of Product at SureCloud, to unpack one of the most urgent challenges facing cybersecurity professionals today: the rise of mis-, dis- and mal-information.

As digital platforms become increasingly weaponised, organisations are forced to navigate a world where truth is harder to verify, trust is easier to erode, and intelligence has never been more essential. AJ brings deep expertise from his work in threat intelligence, national security, and cyber operations, offering a clear and compelling perspective on how today's information battles shape organisational risk.

Together, AJ and Matthew explore:

The evolving role of intelligence in cybersecurity
How misinformation spreads, and why it’s so effective
The growing threat of disinformation campaigns targeting businesses, governments and individuals
The manipulation of social media ecosystems and the psychology behind it
What organisations should consider when validating sources and consuming news
How misinformation undermines institutional trust and increases enterprise-level risks
Practical steps leaders can take to better understand and mitigate information-based threats

This episode is essential listening for CISOs, intelligence analysts, risk leaders, communications professionals and anyone focused on defending against non-technical cyber threats.

With misinformation now influencing everything from incident response to geopolitical risk, AJ’s insights offer a roadmap for building resilience in an increasingly chaotic digital environment.
