Welcome to "To the Point Cybersecurity Podcast," where each week hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher dive into the latest trends and critical topics shaping the world of cybersecurity. In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Jake Braun, Executive Director of the Cyber Policy Initiative at the University of Chicago, CEO and co-founder of Cambridge Global Advisors, and former Acting Principal Deputy National Cyber Director at the White House.
Join us as we explore what it’s like to bridge the gap between
the hacker community and government, the evolving frustrations
hackers have with official institutions, and highlights from the
latest "Hackers Almanac." From AI-driven offensive security and
mesh network resilience to preserving cultural heritage in the
digital age, it’s a conversation packed with cutting-edge insights
and urgent policy considerations.
