about us

The TECH podcast that ONLY interviews NON-cybersecurity experts About Cybersecurity!

We interview non-cybersecurity people from the fields of behavioural science, psychology, anthropology, marketing, UX/UR, and other areas of non-cyber tech about cybersecurity to get an outsider's perspective.

Every Thursday we ask these experts what it's like to experience cybersecurity controls being imposed on them, what they wish cybersecurity teams would do to make their lives easier, and what cybersecurity professionals can do to learn from them and their industry to innovate and collaborate better.

Listen today and start learning about cybersecurity in a whole new way!
