The Watchtower

We’ve spent billions on cybersecurity. Why are the problems the same? In the first episode of The Watchtower, Ash Hunt invites Jason Clark, CSO at Cyera, to dig into the hard truth that foundational security controls still fail in real environments. Together, they explore why identity and data remain unsolved, how rapidly changing enterprise tech has outpaced control design, and why AI is forcing the industry to rethink its entire foundation. This episode is made possible by Cyera.
