    Startup founders dream of success, but it's much harder than it looks. As a former founder, I know the challenges of cultivating an idea, establishing product market fit, growing revenue, and finding the right exit. Trust me, it doesn't always end well.

Seth will share Merlin Venture's approach to helping startups tackle the largest markets in the world, including US enterprises and federal. He will also share what success looks like.

    Understanding the Cybersecurity Ecosystem - Ross Haleliuk - BSW #345

    Understanding the Cybersecurity Ecosystem - Ross Haleliuk - BSW #345

    In this discussion, we focus on vendor/tool challenges in infosec, from a security leader's perspective. To quote our guest, Ross, "running a security program is often confused with shopping". You can't buy an effective security program any more than you can buy respect, or a black belt in kung fu (there might be holes in these examples, but you hopefully get the point). In fact, buying too much can often create more problems than it solves, especially if you're struggling to fill your staffing needs.
    In this 2-part episode, we'll discuss:
    - The current state of vendor offerings in cybersecurity
    - The difficulties of measuring value and efficacy in a product
    - How to avoid building a security program that centers around managing products
    - Shelfware
    - Minimizing product overhead
    - The pros and cons of buying from different types of companies
    - Who to look to for product recommendations
    - Is making a plan to "ditch before you hitch" a good or bad idea?
    - What to do when you inherit a mess

    Apps Gone Wild: Re-thinking App and Identity Security for SaaS - Guy Guzner - BSW #343

    Apps Gone Wild: Re-thinking App and Identity Security for SaaS - Guy Guzner - BSW #343

    With hundreds or thousands of SaaS apps to secure with no traditional perimeter, Identity becomes the focal point for SaaS Security in the modern enterprise. Yet with Shadow IT, now recast as Business-Led IT, quickly becoming normal practice, it’s more complicated than trying to centralize all identities with an Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On (SSO). So the question becomes, “How do you enable the business while still providing security oversight and governance?”

    How The Evolving Threat Landscape Drives Innovation In Cybersecurity - Tom Parker, Dave Dewalt - BSW #342

    Dave DeWalt needs no introduction. A four-time CEO and currently the Founder and CEO of NightDragon, Dave collects, analyses, and disseminates more intelligence on the cybersecurity industry in a year than most of us ever will in a lifetime. We've invited Dave to Business Security Weekly to share some of that intelligence with our audience. Specifically, we'll hear about:
    The evolving threat landscape, including impacts of Artificial Intelligence The latest cybersecurity innovation, including what's working and what's NOT working The impact of budgets on buying decisions, including whether "best of breed" is dead in lieu of platforms Tune in for this insightful discussion before you make your next strategic cybersecurity decisions.
    Piggybacking off of our interview with Dave DeWalt, Tom Parker from Hubble joins Business Security Weekly to discuss a few of the key trends CISOs should be paying attention to. Yes, we'll cover Artificial Intelligence, but more from a business risk and governance perspective. We'll also cover quantum computing, technical debt, and how budgets will impact how organizations can or cannot prepare for these emerging trends. Buckle up and hang on for part two of our jam packed episode.
