SECURE& | “Your Security Data Strategy Is Wrong” with Chris Camacho | S5 Ep3

The Start & Scale Podcast brings unfiltered stories from the people building the future of tech. Hosted by Jack, we explore the realities of scaling teams, building at speed, and the challenges facing engineers, developers, and tech leaders.

The Secure & Scale Podcast is our cybersecurity series within Start & Scale, featuring operators, founders, and leaders shaping the future of cyber.

This episode kicks off our new run, filmed live at RSA, featuring Chris Camacho, Co-Founder and COO of Abstract, the next-gen composable SIEM. Chris previously led revenue growth at Flashpoint through a PE exit and worked in threat management at Bank of America and the World Bank.

We cover what a real security data strategy looks like, why most SIEMs are broken, how AI is changing the SOC, and where teams are getting it wrong with data, cost, and scale.

Chris also shares the origin story of Abstract and how the company is positioning itself in a crowded security market.

If you’re a CISO, SOC leader, security engineer, or founder in the detection and data space, this episode is for you.
