  • Perfect niche podcast

    I’ve listened to marketing podcasts in the past and thought to myself, but it doesn’t work like that in my industry. I’ve listened to cybersecurity podcasts and felt like the content was wayyyy above my head. So to find a podcast in the sweet spot for me is so exciting! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this podcast. The first episodes were a treat!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What AI Security Research Actually Looks Like with John Zenick of Harmonic Security
Q: Can you explain the concept of shadow AI and why it matters for cybersecurity marketing and governance?
Shadow AI is the unmonitored use of AI by employees, often on personal devices or unsanctioned tools, which creates blind spots in governance; addressing it requires visibility, policy, and technical controls to protect sensitive data.
What AI Security Research Actually Looks Like with John Zenick of Harmonic Security
Q: What is your day-to-day role at Harmonic Security, and how does it connect to your research on AI security?
I'm ramping up in a role focused on applying security research to real-world AI systems, evaluating how AI tools are used in enterprises, and translating complex findings into practical guidance for practitioners.
What It Takes to Rebrand a Cybersecurity Company
Q: What were the key challenges in change management with non-marketing parts of the company, like sales and partners?
Gaining broad buy-in required early involvement of leadership (CEO and CRO), showcasing the new direction at sales kickoffs, and providing tangible assets (new headers, signatures, and swag) to align everyone, while maintaining momentum with a phased approach.
What It Takes to Rebrand a Cybersecurity Company
Q: How long did the branding overhaul take from planning to reveal, and how was the rollout sequenced?
The core website and brand rollout took about seven months, beginning with vendor selection and mood boards, then moving into a structured execution phase that included internal alignment, website launch, and ongoing integration of acquired sites.
Cyber Creator Tyler Ramsbey Shares How to Grow an Audience & Community in Cyber
Q: What does community-building look like for Hack Smarter?
