Entrepreneur's Journey: Henry Comfort of Geordie
3 november 2026 · 33 min
Henry Comfort's road to entrepreneurship was anything but linear—a string of scrappy early ventures gave way to running a UK football club's operations in his early twenties, then to global COO at Darktrace through its acquisition by Thoma Bravo, before he cofounded Geordie in 2025 to bring purpose-built security and governance to how AI agents actually operate. What ties it together, Comfort says, is relationships: nearly every leap in his career, and every early customer at Geordie, traces back to trust built with someone first. In conversation with Jenny Brock, RSAC's Senior Manager of Innovation Programs, Comfort talks through how relationships opened doors before he had a track record to point to, the story behind Geordie's name (borrowed from a 19th-century mining safety lamp), and what it took to win the RSAC Innovation Sandbox Contest as a company barely a year old. Lees meer
Listeners will learn why Comfort sees relationships, more than credentials or product polish, as the thread connecting every stage of a founder's career, how to earn trust with early customers—especially security teams—before you have much of a product to show, the Industrial Revolution parallel behind Geordie's name and brand story, and what winning the RSAC Innovation Sandbox Contest actually changed for fundraising, hiring, and the customer pipeline.

He also explains what he’s learned about keeping teams effective without wearing them down. Lees meer
Listeners will learn how AI is changing the speed and scale of both attack and defense, and what that means for team priorities, the emerging trends Dr. Jones believes security leaders should watch now, practical ways CISOs can build adaptability into their teams while guarding against burnout, and why resilience is shifting from fixed plans to organizational agility.

40k apps; 40 days; 1 public key
20 oktober 2026 · 19 min
App generators can ship a working app in an afternoon, and many of them build on the same backend-as-a-service: Supabase. That shared foundation means one misconfiguration can repeat across thousands of deployments. Lees meer

Entrepreneur's Journey: Eran Barak of MIND
6 oktober 2026 · 24 min
Every cybersecurity founder eventually gets asked some version of the same question: was I always going to end up here, or did the problem just find me? Eran Barak has lived both answers. After building and selling Hexadite to Microsoft, he spent years working inside one of security's messiest problems — data protection scattered across a dozen disconnected tools — before deciding to found Mind, an AI-native data loss prevention company, in 2023. In conversation with Jenny Brock, RSAC's Senior Manager of Innovation Programs, Barak walks through the decisions that shaped his path from first exit to second company: how he chose his co-founders, when to leave a comfortable executive track, and why he stepped back from angel investing once Mind became his full-time bet. Lees meer
Listeners will learn:
- How to know whether a recurring problem is actually worth building a company around
- What to look for in a co-founder — and why Barak compares the choice to a marriage
- Why validating market pain matters more than product polish in the early days
- When angel investing helps a founder, and when it becomes a conflict worth walking away from -
