Security Confidential podcast is the go-to podcast for all things related to data protection and cybersecurity. Each week, our hosts Manoj Tandon or Rory Meikle explore the latest trends, challenges, and innovations in the ever-evolving world of information security with top cybersecurity professionals in the space. In July, we had some remarkable episodes featuring industry leaders and innovators. Here’s a recap of what you might have missed in July 2026:
Season 19 Episode 8: You Can Get Hacked With Emojis
In our first episode in July 2026, we talked to Yagub Rahimov, the CEO and co‑founder of Polygraf, an AI security company that builds “AI application firewalls” and small language model guardrails for enterprises and governments. He helps organizations control what data goes into and comes out of AI systems so they can safely deploy tools like ChatGPT‑style assistants, internal chatbots and meeting note‑takers without leaking sensitive information.
Season 19 Episode 9: The Future of Cyber Threats
In the second episode, we talked to David B. Cross. David is a veteran cybersecurity executive with more than 30 years of experience and currently serves as Chief Information Security Officer after previously leading Oracle’s SaaS Cloud Security organization. David has held leadership roles at Microsoft and Google Cloud, helping build and secure some of the world’s largest cloud platforms. He’s also a former U.S. Navy electronic warfare specialist, an inventor with more than 30 security patents, and now serves as both a Chief Information Security Officer and Venture Partner.
Season 19 Episode 10: The Hidden Cost of Mobile Identity Theft
In the last episode, we talked to Mark Kreitzman, a cybersecurity leader with more than two decades of experience building security companies and protecting organizations from emerging threats. Mark is currently the Chief Cyber Evangelist at Efani, where he’s focused on securing one of the most overlooked attack surfaces we all carry every day: our mobile phones. After becoming the victim of a SIM swap attack, Mark turned that experience into a mission to educate others about mobile identity theft, privacy, and why your phone may be your biggest cybersecurity risk.
