In this episode of CYBR.HAK.CAST, Michael and Phil are joined by John Barrow, co-founder and managing partner of LaunchPoint Collective, for a conversation about cybersecurity innovation, emerging startups, and what it takes to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats. John shares how his experience building a lean security program pushed him toward early adoption of startup technology, and why he believes practitioners should have a meaningful voice in evaluating the tools they will use.
