In this episode of YOU DESERVE TO BE HACKED, we sit down with representatives from the Bank of England and CovertSwarm to unpack the truth behind CBEST. This isn’t about pass/fail. It’s about exposing hidden assumptions, simulating real-world attacks, and stress-testing the entire financial ecosystem—starting at Tier 1 and scaling outward.

We explore the mindset shift, how it informs operational resilience, and why STAR-FS might be the future for the rest of the sector. Whether you’re a regulator, a red teamer, or a CISO looking for answers beyond the audit, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about cybersecurity readiness.
