About this episode: On this week’s episode of CYBR.SEC.CAST, Michael Farnum and Sam Van Ryder sit down with Bob Ackerman, Managing Director at DataTribe, to share lessons from decades of building and investing in technology companies. From backing Dragos when much of the venture world didn’t believe an industrial cybersecurity market existed to his belief that “culture is the unfair competitive advantage,” Bob explains why the best opportunities often require thinking differently from the crowd. If you’re building, investing in, or simply watching the future of cybersecurity, this is a conversation worth hearing.Do you have a question for the hosts?

About this episode: In this episode of CYBR.SEC.CAST, Michael Farnum and Sam Van Ryder sit down with Eve Security founder and CEO Nadav Cornberg to explore the challenges of securing agentic AI. They discuss AI governance, MCP, why agents should be expected to make mistakes, and why traditional static security policies may not be enough for systems that operate dynamically and autonomously. As AI agents gain greater access to critical systems, the conversation is shifting from simply asking what they’re allowed to do to understanding what they’re actually doing.Thank you to Eve Security for sponsoring this episode of CYBR.SEC.CASTDo you have a question for the hosts?
