Pressure Zone a podcast by Hack The Box
by Tom Barter
Pressure Zone is a game-driven cybersecurity podcast where CISOs and executives are placed inside escalating, realistic risk scenarios that mirror the complexity of today's cyber leadership.

The Poison Pill
The Poison PillA $50 million acquisition. A final code review. A hidden logic bomb buried deep inside the target company’s core database architecture.In this episode of Pressure Zone, host Christine Bartlett puts Hack The Box founder and CEO Haris Pylarinos into a fast-moving cybersecurity scenario where every decision raises the stakes. What begins as a suspicious discovery inside an acquisition target quickly spirals into a board-level risk crisis involving malicious code, regulatory exposure, internal leaks, and a countdown that could destroy customer data.As the pressure builds, Haris must decide how to balance growth, trust, disclosure, legal risk, and technical instinct, all while explaining each call in business terms. Should the deal be paused? Should the board be challenged? Should the issue be contained quietly, escalated immediately, or used to renegotiate?Built as a live decision game rather than a traditional interview, this episode explores what happens when executive leadership meets hacker instinct, and when a business opportunity comes with hidden secrets, bugs, and back doors.
