Welcome to Episode 38 of The Defender’s Journal!

This week, Ashwin Mithra joins us - Global Head of Information Security at CloudBees, where his team sits at the intersection of software delivery, cloud operations and AI-driven development at scale.

In this episode, we explore why security can no longer survive as a checkpoint in the pipeline. Ashwin breaks down why developers route around friction, why “death by screenshot” governance doesn’t work when AI is shipping thousands of changes a day, and why the future of secure delivery depends on making security automatic, inherited and ambient - not something teams learn reluctantly at the end.

Welcome to Episode 37 of The Defender’s Journal!

This week, Bashar Abouseido joins us - President of Cybersecurity at TENEX.AI and former long-serving CISO at Charles Schwab, where cyber decisions carried consequences beyond systems and into markets, trust and business continuity…

In this episode, we explore why the traditional security model of adding more analysts, more tools and more process has reached its limit. Bashar breaks down why “you can’t out-hire a machine”, why culture can eat your threat model, and why the next generation of security operations will be defined by AI-native scale, context engineering and human-led decision-making at machine speed.

This week, Kevin Fielder joins us - CISO at NatWest Boxed, operating at the intersection of embedded finance, cloud-native banking and real-world security trade-offs...

In this episode, we explore what it takes to secure a banking platform that sits behind major consumer brands, why “yes, but safely” beats defaulting to no, and how AI is changing the way teams need to think about trust, verification and risk. Kevin also shares why great security leadership is rarely about fixing everything at once - it’s about understanding what matters most, and moving the business forward without losing control.

Welcome to another special crossover episode of The Defender’s and Disruptor’s Journal!

This week, Lee Rossey joins us - CTO and Co-Founder of SimSpace, a company helping organisations prove whether their teams, tools and AI agents can perform under real-world pressure.

In this episode, we explore why cyber readiness can no longer rely on assumptions, vendor claims or controlled lab results. Lee breaks down the value of high-fidelity cyber ranges, AI proving grounds and digital twin-style environments - and why the future of security may depend on testing machine-speed responses before they ever reach production…

Welcome to another special crossover episode of The Defender’s and Disruptor’s Journal!

This week, Matt Moynahan joins us - CEO of GetReal and a leader focused on one of the most urgent questions in security: what happens when identity itself can be fabricated in real time?

In this episode, we explore why traditional security stacks were never designed for a world of synthetic media, deepfake detection and forensic verification. Matt breaks down where enterprise failures are already emerging - from candidate fraud and account takeover to executive impersonation - and why the next decade of security may depend on restoring trust to digital communication itself.

Welcome to another special crossover episode of The Defender’s and Disruptors’ Journal.

This week, Rick Caccia joins us - CEO of WitnessAI and former CMO at companies including Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud. Having spent three decades shaping how major technology markets are understood, Rick is now building in one of the fastest-moving spaces of all: safe enterprise AI adoption.

In this episode, we explore why most organisations are still struggling to understand how AI is really being used, why “blocking everything” creates a false sense of control, and how WitnessAI shifted from a fear-led security message to solving the far less glamorous - but far more urgent - problem of AI compliance, visibility and governance.

Welcome to Episode 35 of The Defender’s Journal!

This week, Omkhar Arasaratnam joins us - a Distinguished Engineer at LinkedIn whose career has taken him from factory work and DJ’ing to leading cyber and engineering functions across IBM, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and Google.

In this episode, we explore why careers are rarely ladders, the difference between advisors and operators, and what changes when you build security into systems serving millions of users. Omkhar also reflects on analysis paralysis, mentorship, and the mindset that turns every day into a “bonus round”.

Welcome to another special crossover episode of The Defender’s and Disruptors’ Journal.

Today’s guest is Damon Kachur, CEO of SecureG - a leader who has spent over two decades building the invisible infrastructure that digital trust depends on, from issuing billions of device identities to securing the networks behind telecom, IoT and critical systems.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to build trust at scale - from the early days of PKI and stopping large-scale fraud, to the future of quantum-resistant cryptography and machine identity. Damon also shares his mindset as a leader under pressure, why trust infrastructure is still misunderstood at board level, and how the next wave of AI and connected systems will redefine identity entirely...

This week, George Totev joins us - a CISO who has spent over 20 years operating at the intersection of regulation, product and real-world risk, building and scaling security and compliance functions across organisations like Goldman Sachs, Visa and Atlassian...

In this episode, we explore how security leaders should think about trade-offs at scale - from balancing prevention vs reaction, to understanding diminishing returns in security investment, and why incident management is ultimately the last line of defence. George also touches on how to communicate risk effectively to boards - not through theory, but through cost, consequence and real-world impact.

Welcome to another crossover episode of The Defender’s Journal.

Today’s guest is Abhi Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Relyance AI - a company rethinking how organisations secure data in the age of AI. Rather than treating data as something static, his team is building an AI-native approach to privacy, governance and security that focuses on the movement of data itself.

In this episode, we explore how Abhi’s early experiences shaped his leadership philosophy, why “unreasonable hospitality” has become a defining cultural pillar at Relyance AI, and what many organisations still misunderstand about building trust in AI-driven systems…

This week, Sandeep Poonen joins us. From establishing VMware’s cloud security and enterprise cyber risk functions from the ground up to leading global compliance, fraud risk platforms and board-level cyber strategy, his career spans scale, regulation and high-stakes accountability...

In this episode, we explore what was forged early in his journey - moving countries at 17 and building under pressure - and how that shaped his philosophy on integrity, resilience and leadership. We unpack what it really means to “bowl the last over,” why preparation matters more than bravado, and how trust is built not through perfection, but through accountability.

Welcome to Episode 32 of The Defender’s Journal.

Jacob DePriest returns to the show - previously Deputy CISO at GitHub, and now holding a rare dual mandate as CISO and CIO at 1Password, operating at the fault line between security, infrastructure, and business strategy.

In this conversation, Jacob unpacks what truly changes when you move from a deputy role into full ownership, why “customer zero” shifts the identity of a security leader, and the advice he gives to anyone early in their career: don’t default to the way things have always been done - push, test, and challenge the assumptions that everyone else has learnt to live with.

Welcome to a special crossover episode between ‘The Defender’s Journal’ and our new sister series focussed on ‘The Disruptors’ where we shift the lens from what needs defending to what we’re building next...

Our guest is Harry Wetherald - a founder with one foot in venture capital, the other in technical scale. As co-founder and CEO of Maze, he’s raised over $30 million and is reimagining vulnerability management through an AI-native lens - building systems that anticipate, recommend, and act, rather than wait for direction.

We dig into the mindset behind Maze’s mission, and explore what marketing in cyber gets wrong, what AI-native actually means in practice, and why clarity is a more powerful moat than complexity!

Welcome to another hard-hitting spin-off of The Defender’s Journal.

Today’s guest is Ryan Lindley - CEO of Aegis Cyber and one of the industry’s clearest thinkers when it comes to security leadership. From crashing school networks as a teen hacker to rebuilding billion-dollar organisations post-breach, Ryan brings sharp insight, zero fluff, and hard-earned lessons to this conversation.

In this episode, we dive into what separates tactical firefighting from real security strategy - and what most companies still get wrong about cyber maturity. We also explore how Ryan’s Military Academy experience shaped his mindset, why influence beats authority, and why he refuses to work with organisations that won’t take fundamentals seriously.

Welcome to Episode 31 of The Defender’s Journal.

This week, we’re joined by Matt Presson - a product-driven, context-obsessed security leader currently serving as CISO (Americas) at Bullish. From code reviews at FedEx to building global security functions across EY, B1, and now a regulated digital asset firm, Matt has seen cybersecurity from every angle.

We explore the three defining questions behind his leadership style: Why is context so important and can it mislead you? How do you embed security without creating resentment? And... what changes when you stop trying to do it all yourself?

He also shares what security leaders still misunderstand about boards, and the one belief he held early on that no longer holds true...

Welcome to a bonus episode of The Defender’s Journal.

This week, we welcome back Ted Harrington - ethical hacker, author, and co-founder of IoT Village - to explore the mindset behind his new book "The Inner Hacker".

We dig into what hacker thinking really means (even in a world of audits, regulation, and surface-level compliance). Ted shares how to spot opportunities others miss and explains why minimum standards are dangerous. We also explore how cultural contexts can shape (or resist) innovation - and how any leader, technical or not, can start “hacking” their own blind spots today...
