Ever wonder if endpoint security truly deserves the hype as your first line of defense—or is there more to the story?

In this lively episode of Cyber After Hours—Endpoint Security: Is It Really the First Line of Defense?—Paul Marco and Evan Morgan kick things off by swapping stories about the unpredictable rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, proving once again you often learn more from spectacular failures than steady successes.

As the conversation heats up, they tackle the great cybersecurity debate: Is endpoint protection really the front-line hero, or should access controls step into the spotlight as the new perimeter?

The duo digs deep into why endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, while critical, can't go it alone—and why defense-in-depth remains the gold standard for true cyber resilience.

Beyond technical talk, Paul and Evan emphasize why collaboration beats competition in cybersecurity, highlighting how building a supportive network is essential not just for career growth, but for tackling the industry's biggest challenges.

They also dive into why businesses must truly understand their unique risks before throwing money at shiny security tools.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur navigating the wild world of cybersecurity or simply curious about protecting your business better, grab a beverage and join Paul and Evan for an honest, insightful, and occasionally humorous discussion about the realities of endpoint security.

Ever feel numb when you hear about yet another data breach?

You're not alone.

In this episode of Cyber After Hours—Data Privacy vs. Cybersecurity: Where Do They Intersect?—Evan and Paul welcome Steve Ward, a seasoned cybersecurity leader turned venture capitalist, for an insightful (and surprisingly humorous) conversation on privacy, security, and why consumers barely blink at breaches these days.

From diving into Steve's impressive career navigating the tricky venture capital waters, to exploring why cybersecurity often feels like Groundhog Day, the trio discusses how the constant drumbeat of cyber threats has led to consumer indifference—and why this needs to change.

Steve sheds light on the blurry lines between data privacy and cybersecurity, highlighting why simply "checking the compliance box" isn't enough anymore.

Together, they unpack critical questions:

Are privacy regulations actually making a difference?

Can organizations move from visibility to meaningful risk reduction?

And why does innovation in security often lag behind the threats themselves?

Along the way, they chat about how AI is shaking things up, why data integrity might soon overshadow confidentiality, and how ransomware underscores the importance of availability (because what's privacy worth if your data’s locked away?).

Whether you're a cybersecurity pro or just privacy-curious, join us for an entertaining, eye-opening discussion on where security meets privacy—and why the future might be less about keeping secrets and more about building trustworthy communities.

Grab a drink, settle in, and tune in to Cyber After Hours—because talking about privacy and security shouldn’t put you to sleep.

Ever felt like cybersecurity is always the team that says “no” to everything?

Well, it’s time to change that narrative.

In this episode of Cyber After Hours—How to Prevent Security From Becoming the "Department of No"—we start off sharing laughs about New York snowstorms and the funny ways different cultures react to weather surprises.

But quickly, the discussion dives deeper, exploring Simon Sinek’s powerful concept of playing the “infinite game” rather than getting stuck on short-term wins.

Through candid personal stories, Paul and Evan tackle why security teams often get painted as the gatekeepers of “no.”

They share how shifting the focus from risk avoidance to storytelling and context can make cybersecurity a business enabler instead of a blocker.

We unpack real-world strategies for transforming security teams from risk-averse gatekeepers into innovative partners who say “yes”—strategically, of course!

This episode is all about balancing caution with courage, technical skills with empathy, and leadership with collaboration.

Whether you’re deep in the cybersecurity trenches or simply curious about building stronger, more positive security cultures, this episode offers humor, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on how to embrace the art of saying “yes.”

Tune in, grab your favorite beverage, and join us for another engaging round at Cyber After Hours—because cybersecurity is best served with a side of humanity.
