New podcast alert: Cyphertalk episode 1 is live!
Hi,
We’re excited to announce the launch of Cyphertalk, a twice-monthly podcast exploring the realities of cybersecurity and privacy in a world that’s moving faster than our defenses.
In Episode 1: Security and Privacy in 2026, hosts Jade Doherty and Stefan Beyer (co-founder of Oak Security) dive into:
Why humans are the #1 target: phishing, social engineering, supply chain attacks
Remote work, context switching, and why “always-on” makes mistakes more likely
AI as an arms race: scaling attacks vs improving defenses
ZK/privacy tech maturity: new opportunities and new risks
Why the “zero trust mindset” is about reducing impact, not paranoia
Institutional security expectations and how crypto security is (slowly) evolving
Stefan also shares a personal story of a highly targeted “podcast invite” scam that nearly turned into a credential-stealing attack, a perfect example of why, in 2026, it’s less about never making mistakes and more about designing systems that limit blast radius when mistakes happen.
