## State of Systems: Episode 2

In this episode, we dive into the uncomfortable truth behind the UK’s digital infrastructure — from NHS hospitals to critical national services still running on outdated operating systems. Our guest, Justin Thorogood from IGEL, joins us to unpack why endpoint security is the front line in today’s cyber battle. With hackers moving faster than ever and traditional defences struggling to keep up, we explore how IGEL’s approach flips the script — putting prevention first and keeping the systems we all rely on safe, simple, and secure.
