About This Podcast
CypherTalk is a twice-monthly podcast on the realities of cybersecurity and privacy in a world that’s moving faster than our defenses.
Hosted by Jade Doherty (who translates technical security into plain English) alongside rotating security and privacy experts — including co-host Stefan Beyer, co-founder of Oak Security — the show explores how modern cybersecurity attacks actually happen: not just through bugs in code, but through people, processes, supply chains, and the tools we rely on every day.
The show also looks at the latest trends in privacy and its supporting technologies, such as cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs.
Expect conversations that balance big-picture trends (AI-driven threats, privacy tech like zero-knowledge, shifting security standards) with practical takeaways you can apply immediately — whether you’re a developer, a founder, or simply someone who uses the internet.
Less hype. More clarity. Better security and privacy habits.
