In this powerful episode of Tenacity with Sonia C., host Sonia Couto sits down with Brittany Greenfield, founder and CEO of Wabi, for an unfiltered conversation about entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, and what it truly means to build a business as a woman in tech.

Brittany’s path into cybersecurity wasn’t linear, and that’s precisely what makes her story so compelling. From enterprise software and cloud startups to founding a company in the male-dominated world of application security, she shares how curiosity, problem-solving, and resilience shaped her journey.

Together, Sonia and Brittany unpack:

• Why cybersecurity must be built into software, not bolted on after
• The real risks founders take when they ignore security early on
• What it’s like fundraising and scaling as a woman in cybersecurity
• Why bootstrapping can be both a constraint and a strategic advantage
• The hidden human vulnerabilities behind cyber breaches
• How AI is changing cybersecurity, for better and for worse
• Why every founder needs a personal board of advisors
• 
  

This episode transcends technical jargon and delves into the heart of leadership, decision-making, and trust, both in technology and within yourself as a founder.

Sonia guides the conversation with insight and candour, connecting Brittany’s technical expertise back to the founder experience: loneliness at the top, moments of self-doubt, and the courage it takes to ask for help when everything feels like it’s on the line.

If you’re a founder building a SaaS product, navigating risk, raising capital, or questioning how to scale responsibly, this episode will challenge how you think about growth, security, and resilience.
