  No Password Required: The Co-Founder, CEO and CISO of BEMO, Who Blocks Employees From Weekend Work

  Sep 16, 202635 min

  Bruno Lecoq is the co-founder, CEO, and CISO of BEMO, a Microsoft-focused cybersecurity and compliance firm serving small and midsize U.S. businesses. Before co-founding BEMO in 2010, Bruno spent nearly 20 years at Microsoft, working on MS-DOS, Windows NT, Exchange, and Xbox. Born in a French village of 1,200 people, he moved to Seattle at 22 with a $10,000 loan and a dream inspired by a late-night television show featuring Bill Gates. Today, BEMO manages security for more than 470 companies and is among approximately 50 U.S. managed security service providers that has achieved CMMC Level 2 certification. In this episode, Bruno traces his path from France to Microsoft and eventually to BEMO’s 2018 pivot into cybersecurity. He explains why CMMC compliance is like having a child, why small and midsize companies underestimate cyberattacks, and why AI agents need strong governance. He also shares why he blocks employees from working on weekends. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Bruno about the day Bill Gates canceled a product he had spent a year building, watching Microsoft enter BEMO’s market in 2012, and what Bruno learned from working alongside his son, Brandon, for eight years before Brandon started his own company. In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Bruno reveals his favorite French pastry, recalls watching France defeat Brazil with his Brazilian fiancée at the 1998 World Cup, and tells the story of the family intervention that ended his flying lessons.

  No Password Required: Co-Founder of SecurityScorecard, on His Journey From Academics to CISO to CEO

  Aug 17, 202643 min

  Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy is the co-founder and CEO of SecurityScorecard, one of the world's most trusted cybersecurity brands with tens of thousands of customers, including half of the Fortune 100 and nine of the top 10 U.S. banks. Before founding SecurityScorecard in 2014, Alex earned a Ph.D. in cryptography from Yale, built authentication infrastructure for Goldman Sachs and Oracle, and served as CISO at Gilt Groupe, where a near-miss with exposed credit card data became the genesis for an entirely new category of cybersecurity. In this episode, Alex traces his journey from a 14-year-old immigrant kid whose friend handed him a virus-infected floppy disk with “Prince of Persia” on it, all the way to building a company that now scores the security of every organization on the internet. He breaks down what it takes to create a market category from scratch, why the CISO version of him was more fun to have a beer with, and why North Korea tried to recruit his developers through a fake hedge fund. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Alex about the difference between robustness and resilience, why SecurityScorecard banned PowerPoint slides, and the single most dangerous thing a board member can say in a meeting. Alex also argues that companies openly admitting security breaches actually makes the whole ecosystem stronger. In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Alex reveals he grades restaurants by their health inspection scores, shares what The Inner Game of Tennis taught him about trusting his gut, and tells us how chess got him a date with his future wife even though she had never played chess.

  No Password Required: Swiss Cyber Expert, Diplomat, and Military Officer, Always Two Steps Ahead of the Storm

  Jul 20, 202643 min

  Philipp Leo co-founded Leo & Muhly Cyber Advisory, a strategic advisory firm specializing in cyber risk, resilience, and geopolitics. Now consulting with governments and private firms in Switzerland and abroad, Philipp has served as a UN observer on the Korean DMZ, trained the next generation of Swiss Armed Forces cyber specialists, and taught at the University of Glasgow. He is also part of Europol's network of experts in data protection and cybercrime and has published stateside in MIT Sloan Management Review . In this episode, Philipp shares his journey from a Swiss bank he couldn't wait to leave to the Korean border, and eventually to the boardrooms of executives who still think cyber risk is someone else's problem. He breaks down the three most dangerous misconceptions executives have about cyber risk, why the CISO is too often a poster child rather than a decision-maker, and the challenges to cyber insurance in Europe. Cyber attorney Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Philipp about his live crisis simulation that nobody can win, how to train cyber warriors, and how nation-state cyber conflict is looking more and more like the age of Caribbean pirates. In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Philipp reveals his favorite book, his eye-opening, go-to celebratory drink, and the weight of his luxury umbrella. He also shares his favorite escape when the complexity of modern life gets to be too much and introduces us to a Zurich commuting tradition that involves swimming home through a river.

  No Password Required: Nonresident Senior Fellow at AEI and the Person Who Explained the Internet to Capitol Hill

  Jun 22, 202652 min

  Shane Tews is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on cybersecurity, privacy, artificial intelligence, and internet governance. She is also president of Logan Circle Strategies, a strategic advisory firm working at the intersection of technology and policy. Before her think tank work, Shane helped introduce modems to the George H.W. Bush White House, walked the halls of Capitol Hill explaining the internet to blank-staring legislators, and spent years at Verisign helping shape the foundational frameworks of how the internet would be governed. In this episode, Shane traces her unlikely path from the Bush administration to becoming one of Washington's most trusted voices on tech policy. She breaks down why regulating outcomes rather than inputs is the only sensible approach to technology governance, why the United States and European Union are operating from fundamentally different innovation philosophies, and why a national privacy bill is long overdue. She also explains why most organizations and individuals are far less protected than they think and why nobody knows who to call when something goes wrong. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton talk with Shane about legacy system vulnerabilities, the cybersecurity implications of agentic AI, and what policymakers absolutely must get right over the next decade. She also reflects on what the CISA reauthorization limbo means for companies that don't even know they've lost liability protection. In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Shane reveals she has 20,000 emails across eight accounts, admits she fakes laughs at bad jokes out of Midwestern politeness, shares her obsession with “The Bear” and “Peaky Blinders,” and tells us about her children's book project using Google Omni called "Shane on a Train."

  No Password Required: Tech Lead at Airbnb and the Person Who Always Says, “I Got This”

  Jun 9, 202628 min

  Mudita Khurana is a tech lead for automated tooling and vulnerability management at Airbnb, where she focuses on building modular, scalable security systems in an era of rapidly evolving AI threats. Before Airbnb, she spent nearly a decade in security roles across Accenture, Meta, and PwC, making bold career pivots along the way, including a move into Facebook's product security team. In this episode, Mudita shares her journey from a family of doctors in India to Carnegie Mellon and into the heart of Big Tech security. She discusses what it means to thrive as a non-traditional engineer in a deeply technical field, why she stepped back from management to get closer to the work, and how she thinks about building security tooling that won't be obsolete in three months. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from the BSides Tampa Conference at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to. In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Mudita firmly plants her flag in the Harry Potter universe as Hermione, explains why Deadpool doesn't qualify as a superhero, debates gym vs. nature as a reset strategy, and reveals her dream remote work base: a high-altitude Buddhist mountain town in the Himalayas.
