The Inside Man

Hacker Mark, aka 'Romulus', tail-gates his way right into the Khromacom corporate HQ where the IT Team are fire-fighting a cyber-attack. He secures a job on the IT security team, much to the satisfaction of his sinister handler, 'Mother'.

Things are looking great for Mark. He’s got his dream job, working alongside his newly promoted buddy AJ. They do everything together. Episode 1 finds the Khromacom gang at a Karaoke bar. As ever there are security situations everywhere: unsecured phones being left out in public; people writing their passwords down. What else do you expect when people are having fun?

Good Shepherd Security’s crack team is carrying out a sophisticated penetration test, involving AJ in a bee costume. The stakes are sky high, as the ‘sting’ has been commissioned by an international bank. There’s a lucrative contract to be had, but Maurice seems to have gone missing and the bank’s multiple layers of physical and data security could thwart the operation at any stage. The team is going to have to bring their ‘A’ game, including Fiona who, as it turns out, has some impressive improv skills.

A mysterious hacker group, The 404, initiates a devastating ransomware attack on a Norwegian gas installation. The hack, a coordinated phishing and social engineering operation, makes the news. A high profile attack like this quickly gains the attention of AJ, Mark and Maurice, aka ‘Good Shepherd Cybersecurity’.

Season 5 picks up straight after the emotional finale of Season 4. In Romania a ruthless corporate lawyer is securing a vast Gothic castle for an unknown client. Meanwhile Mark, Violet and Good Shepherd Cybersecurity are monitoring the systematic dismantling of a ‘has been’ social media company, ‘The Village’. International security services are forced out of the shadows to make an approach to Mark and his friends that will rewrite history.

The stakes have never been higher in the explosive new season of The Inside Man! Sinister mastermind Cyrus has gone to ground, and the Good Shepherd Cybersecurity team must track him down before his devious plan can come to fruition. With lives on the line, as events build to a final, inevitable confrontation, Mark and his allies will need to draw on every resource if they are to avert disaster…
