Aurimas Bakas: The Security Illusion — Why Compliance Won’t Save You


Listen Later

Most companies look secure on paper — until something real happens.


FoundersToday CEO, Peter Oberlik, ⁠ sits down with ⁠Aurimas⁠ Bakas, serial founder with multiple exits and now CEO of Copla, to expose the uncomfortable truth behind today’s cybersecurity landscape:


Compliance is easy. Real security is hard.


From building core banking infrastructure to fighting AI-driven attacks that never sleep, Aurimas shares why traditional audits create a dangerous illusion of safety — and how Copla is building the bridge between certification and true operational resilience.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


  • Why ISO and SOC2 don’t mean you’re actually secure

  • The rise of AI-powered cyberattacks — and what it means for every business

  • Why failing a stress test might save your company

  • How nine failures taught Aurimas more than his exits ever did

  • What early-stage founders get dangerously wrong about cybersecurity

If your security strategy fits neatly in a PowerPoint, it probably won’t survive the first attack.


This episode is a must-listen for founders, CTOs, and anyone responsible for protecting customer data in a world where robots — not humans — are hacking you.
