Cybersecurity Perspectives

Cybersecurity Perspectives is a show for IT and cybersecurity professionals who want real talk, not talking points.

Every episode, a guest draws one of three cards, each one holding a real statistic pulled from an industry report or news outlet. Whatever card they pick becomes the topic. No pre-set questions, no rehearsed answers. Just an honest conversation about what that number actually means for their company, their team, and the industry at large, and what to do about it.

Hosted by Paul Marco and Owahn Bazydlo, co-founders of TALAS Security, the show brings together practitioners, leaders, and builders from across IT and cybersecurity to talk shop, share hard-won lessons, and build a stronger community for the people doing this work every day.

Stats. Insights. Real talk.
