Cyber Confersations

Third party risk is rapidly becoming one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity - but most organisations are still managing it with outdated approaches.In this episode, I’m joined by Ronen Gottlib, Co-Founder & CEO of Shift Security, to break down why traditional third party risk management is no longer fit for purpose - and what needs to change.We dive into:What third party risk really means in today’s environmentWhy questionnaires and “check-the-box” processes fall shortThe impact of SaaS, integrations, and AI on vendor riskThe gap between compliance and actual securityWhy continuous visibility is now essentialHow organisations can move towards a more proactive approachIf you’re responsible for security, risk, or vendor management - or just trying to understand where the real exposure lies - this episode will give you a clear, practical perspective on what’s broken and how to think about fixing it.

Everyone at RSA was talking about AI.But very few were talking about what actually matters.In this episode, I’m joined by DJ, Field CTO at Xalient to break down what really came out of RSA 2026 - beyond the buzzwords, hype, and vendor noise.We get into:Why “agentic AI” is being misunderstood across the industryThe biggest gap most organisations have right now (hint: it’s visibility)Why vendors are overpromising - and what buyers should actually focus onThe missing conversations around governance, intent, and controlAnd why AI should be treated less like software… and more like a digital workforceThis isn’t a hype conversation.It’s a reality check.If you’re trying to make sense of AI in cybersecurity - what matters, what doesn’t, and where to actually start - this is one you don’t want to miss.

Quantum security has been talked about for years… but what happens when it stops being theoretical?Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Andrew, founder of Cipher, to explore why cryptographic security and post-quantum readiness are becoming much more urgent than many organisations realise.As companies begin to confront legacy cryptographic risks - while also preparing for what comes next - a new category is starting to emerge. And Cipher is building right at the centre of it.We dive into:Why post-quantum readiness is moving up the priority listThe challenge of understanding cryptography across enterprise environmentsHow startups are shaping entirely new security categoriesWhy design partnerships are critical in early product developmentAnd what it takes to build in a market that’s still taking shapeIf you’ve been hearing about quantum risk but haven’t understood why it matters now - this conversation is a great place to start.Recorded live from RSA - where some of the most important conversations are often about what’s coming next 👀

Everyone says they need more tools… but in reality, they don’t.Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Alex, CEO of Device, to talk about one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity and IT today - too much complexity, too many tools, and not enough time.We dive into how device management, security, and compliance are converging, and why simplifying these workflows is becoming critical for modern teams.We cover:Why endpoints have become a major attack surfaceThe growing overlap between device management and securityHow automation is saving teams hours every dayWhy companies are pushing back on “more tools”And how Device is helping organisations simplify patching, compliance, and vulnerability managementBecause at the end of the day… the real ROI isn’t just cost savings - it’s getting your time back.Recorded live from RSA - where the biggest conversations are happening both on and off the floor 👀

AI isn’t just evolving - it’s accelerating at a pace most people can’t keep up with.Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Sounil from Knostic to unpack what’s really happening in AI and cybersecurity right now - beyond the buzzwords.From hosting their own AI-focused conference (Unprompted) to exploring what an “AI-native” organisation actually looks like, this conversation dives into the real shifts happening beneath the surface.We cover:* Why in AI, you’re never far ahead - or far behind* The rise of coding agents and their impact across industries* How vulnerability management could fundamentally change* What “AI-native” really means for businesses and teams* And how conferences themselves are evolving with AIThis isn’t about hype - it’s about understanding how fast things are changing, and what that means for how we work, build, and secure technology going forward.Recorded live from RSA - where the best insights often happen *outside* the conference floor 👀

AI is everywhere in cybersecurity right now… but does any of it actually matter?Recorded live at RSAC, I sat down with Nathan Burke, CMO at 7AI, to talk about one of the biggest challenges in the industry today - cutting through the noise.With every vendor claiming “AI-powered” solutions, the real question becomes: what actually delivers value?We dive into:Why “AI” has become the new baseline (not the differentiator)How buyers actually make decisions in cybersecurityThe role of trust, community, and referrals in a noisy marketWhy people - not just technology - still drive outcomesAnd how 7AI is using AI to proactively find and fix real threatsThis conversation goes beyond the buzzwords and gets to what really matters: solving problems, building trust, and moving fast in a rapidly changing landscape.Recorded live from RSA - where the noise is real, but so is the opportunity 👀

What if the browser became your entire security platform?Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Jason Trunk, Field CTO at Island to explore how the enterprise browser has evolved into something much bigger - a full platform for security, data control, and now AI.As more work moves to the browser, it’s become the point where everything happens - data access, user activity, and increasingly, AI interactions. Island’s approach flips the traditional model: instead of securing around the browser, they’ve built the controls directly into it.We dive into:Why the browser is now the centre of modern workThe shift away from network-based security modelsHow Island is enabling secure AI usage inside the browserThe evolution from “enterprise browser” to full enterprise platformAnd why this approach is perfectly positioned for the AI era.Recorded live from RSA ☀️If you’re thinking about the future of work, security, and AI, this is one to tune into.

Cybersecurity has a noise problem.Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Yoran (Co-Founder & CEO) and Tony (CMO) from Seemplicity to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing security teams today - too many alerts, too many tools… and not enough action.We dive into the reality of exposure management, why the attack surface is only getting bigger with AI, and how organisations are struggling to prioritise and actually fix what matters.Seemplicity’s approach? Cut through the noise and focus on outcomes - turning endless findings into clear, actionable fixes.We also cover:* Why “more tools” is often making the problem worse* The growing complexity of modern attack surfaces* How AI is accelerating both attackers *and* defenders* Why fixing issues matters more than just finding themAnd yes… recorded live from RSA, where the noise isn’t just metaphorical.If you’re trying to make sense of vulnerability overload and actually move the needle, this episode is for you.

What happens after a cyber attack?Recorded live at RSA Conference, I sat down with Josh, Co-Founder & CEO of Aiden, to talk about the part of cybersecurity most people overlook - recovery.Because the reality is… prevention isn’t enough anymore.We dive into Aiden Rescue, a new approach to ransomware recovery that allows organisations to completely wipe and rebuild compromised machines remotely - restoring them to a secure, fully configured state in minutes.We also explore:* Why endpoints are still one of the biggest attack surfaces* How AI is accelerating threats across enterprise environments* Why recovery speed is becoming just as critical as prevention* The shift towards automation, resilience, and operational efficiencyAnd yes… this one was recorded *very* live from the RSA floor - chaos and all.If you’re thinking about how to not just defend, but recover, this episode is for you.

What happens when you can’t trust what you’re seeing or hearing anymore?In this episode, recorded live at RSA Conference, I sit down with Brian Levin, CRO at Reality Defender, to dive into the rise of deepfakes and synthetic media - and how quickly the technology is evolving.From AI-generated voices that can hold real-time conversations to the growing risk of synthetic identities, we explore what this means for businesses, security teams, and everyday life.This isn’t just a cybersecurity issue - it’s a trust issue. And it’s already happening.
