    How to Protect Company Social Media Accounts from Cyber Attacks | Naveh Ben Dror, CEO of Spikerz

    Most organisations invest heavily in protecting their cloud, endpoints and infrastructure. But what about the digital assets customers interact with every single day? In this episode of Cyber Conversations, Katie sits down with Naveh Ben Dror, Co-Founder & CEO of Spikerz, to discuss one of cybersecurity's most overlooked attack surfaces: digital marketing infrastructure. From social media accounts and advertising platforms to domains and websites, Naveh explains why these business-critical assets often fall between marketing and security teams - and why AI is making them a prime target for attackers. After experiencing a major brand account compromise himself, Naveh set out to build a platform dedicated to securing the public-facing assets that shape customer trust and brand reputation. 🎯 Why social media accounts have become one of the biggest cybersecurity blind spots 🤖 How AI is changing phishing, account takeovers and brand impersonation 🔐 Why marketing and security teams need to work much more closely together 📱 The hidden risks of employees using personal accounts and devices for business platforms ⚠️ How attackers exploit trusted brand accounts to scam customers at scale 🛡️ Why governance is just as important as detection when protecting digital assets 🚀 How Spikerz is helping organisations secure their digital marketing infrastructure without disrupting the way teams work As AI accelerates cyber attacks, protecting your organisation means looking beyond traditional security controls. This episode explores why digital marketing assets may become one of the next major frontiers in enterprise cybersecurity.

    How to Build Secure Software from the Start | Kim Van Lavieren, Co-Founder & CTO of Dawnguard

    Building software is getting faster than ever. But security is still too often treated as something that's checked after the product has already been built. In this episode of Cyber Confersations, Katie sits down with Kim Van Lavieren, Co-Founder & CTO of Dawnguard, to discuss why security needs to move to the very beginning of the development lifecycle—and how AI is making secure-by-design architecture possible for the first time. Drawing on experience spanning software engineering, security architecture, CISO leadership and Amazon, Kim explains why traditional security reviews create friction between engineering and security teams, and why that entire process needs rethinking. 🏗️ Why secure architecture should start before a single line of code is written 🤖 How AI is transforming secure software design - not just code generation ⚡ Why "shift left" security is finally becoming practical at enterprise scale 🔒 How better architecture reduces attack impact before incidents happen 👨‍💻 Why developers shouldn't have to become security experts 🚀 How Dawnguard is helping engineering teams build securely without slowing innovation 💡 Why the future of cybersecurity is enabling the business—not blocking it As AI accelerates software development, organisations need security to evolve just as quickly. This episode explores why designing security into systems from day one could become one of the biggest shifts in modern cybersecurity.

    What Is Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)? | Michael Keslassy, Co-Founder & CTO of Vendict

    Every organisation relies on third-party vendors - but every vendor introduces risk. In this episode of Cyber Confersations, Katie sits down with Michael Keslassy, Co-Founder & CTO of Vendict, to explore why Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is becoming one of the fastest-growing priorities in cybersecurity, and how AI is fundamentally changing the way organisations assess supplier risk. From evolving regulations to agentic AI and increasingly complex supply chains, Michael explains why traditional TPRM processes no longer scale - and why AI-native approaches are transforming the space. 📋 What Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) actually is - and why it matters 🤖 How AI is creating new vendor risks while also solving longstanding TPRM challenges 📈 Why organisations can finally assess hundreds or thousands of vendors at scale 🔍 The growing importance of visibility across third-, fourth-, and fifth-party suppliers ⚖️ How regulation, innovation and compliance are reshaping vendor security 🚀 Why AI-native managed services are changing how security teams approach TPRM 💡 What the future of third-party risk looks like as AI adoption accelerates As organisations become increasingly dependent on external vendors and AI-powered tools, understanding and managing supplier risk has never been more important.

    What Is an AI-Native Security Team? | Or Mattatia, Co-Founder & CPO of Beacon Security

    AI is transforming cybersecurity - but are security operations evolving quickly enough to keep up? In this episode of Cyber Confersations, Katie sits down with Or Mattatia, Co-Founder & CPO of Beacon Security, to explore why the future of security operations isn't simply adding AI to existing workflows - it's rebuilding SecOps to be AI-native from the ground up. Fresh from Beacon Security being recognised in the Rising in Cyber 2026 cohort, Or shares lessons from his background in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity, and explains why the biggest challenge facing defenders today isn't the AI models themselves - it's the data powering them. 🔹 Why cybersecurity is still fundamentally a data problem 🔹 Why attackers appear to be benefiting from AI faster than defenders 🔹 The difference between AI-assisted and AI-native security operations 🔹 How the role of security engineers is evolving into security builders 🔹 Why modern SecOps needs better data pipelines and context - not just more alerts 🔹 How Beacon Security is building an AI-native SecOps platform 🔹 The future of autonomous systems and fleets of AI agents in security 🔹 What the next generation of security operations could look like If you're a CISO, security practitioner, security engineer, or simply interested in how AI is reshaping cyber defence, this episode offers a fascinating look at where the industry is heading next.

    Will AI Make Traditional Penetration Testing Obsolete?

    Will AI Make Traditional Penetration Testing Obsolete? In this episode of Cyber Conversations, Katie sits down with Adam Lundqvist, Founder of SQUR, to discuss how AI is reshaping penetration testing, vulnerability management, and application security. After spending more than two decades in software and cybersecurity, Adam recognised a growing challenge: organisations are developing software faster than ever, but security testing hasn't kept pace. Traditional penetration testing can be expensive, time-consuming, and often outdated by the time the final report lands on a security team's desk. So what comes next? Adam shares why he believes autonomous penetration testing and automated remediation will become a critical part of the future security stack. Topics covered include: 🔹 Why traditional penetration testing is struggling to keep up with modern development 🔹 The growing attack surface created by APIs and web applications 🔹 How AI is changing both cyberattacks and cyber defence 🔹 Why fixing vulnerabilities is often harder than finding them 🔹 The future of autonomous penetration testing 🔹 How automated remediation could transform vulnerability management 🔹 The opportunities and risks created by increasingly powerful AI models 🔹 What security leaders should be prioritising today If you're interested in application security, AI, vulnerability management, or the future of offensive security, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
