Cloud was supposed to simplify security. Instead, as Pierre Noel puts it, we’ve created a Frankenstein’s monster, a system so flexible and configurable that it often overwhelms the very teams meant to secure it.

In this episode, recorded live at our CloudHub Berlin event, Pierre brings one of the widest perspectives in modern cybersecurity. As CISO EMEA at Expel, and with a career spanning Microsoft, Huawei, Airbus, and advisory roles to national cybersecurity authorities, he’s seen cloud transformation from every angle: technical, political, operational, and geopolitical.

We dive into why traditional security thinking collapses in the cloud, how identity and configuration drift now drive most incidents, and why CISOs must rethink the mental models they carried from the datacenter era. Pierre also breaks down the real state of AI in security, why attackers benefit more from it today than defenders, and how security teams should realistically integrate automation without falling for hype.

But the heart of the conversation is human. Pierre shares scars from decades of work: moments where boards dismissed risks, where technical teams misjudged business priorities, and where psychology mattered more than any tool. His message is clear: behind every incident is a human, and behind every resilient organization is a CISO who understands people as well as technology.

You might not know where your data goes after you feed it into AI — but someone else might.

As AI tools spread across every corner of business, one question grows louder: how much control do you really have once your data enters the model?

Live from CloudHub Berlin, Sean Gill, Head of New Business Sales EMEA at JumpCloud, joins us to unpack the hidden security gaps behind AI adoption — from fragmented systems and vendor lock-in to data inputs that could expose entire organizations.

Sean shares what he hears daily from companies racing toward “AI-first” strategies: the tension between innovation and control, the blind spots created by legacy tech, and why secure identity management is now the foundation for trustworthy AI.

If your company is embracing AI but unsure where its data truly lives, this episode offers a clear, grounded look at how to innovate without losing control.

What if your IT survival guide read like a comedy roast? At our CloudHub Berlin event, Adam Korga joined us to decode IT Dictionary, a satirical manual for anyone who’s ever survived Agile rituals, corporate jargon, or “death by a thousand meetings.” We talk humor as therapy, the five realms of tech hell, and why laughter might just be the best debugging tool. In his book, he doesn’t pull any punches, which is exactly why he can’t even use his real name!

Technical leaders often struggle to understand how CFOs view cloud costs, ROI, and efficiency. In this episode, two CFOs share exactly what they expect from their tech counterparts and how better communication can lead to smarter spending and stronger collaboration. Featuring Yaniv Lubinski, CFO at EX.CO, and Erez Storch, CFO at PlainID.

Most security teams prepare for chaos, but they should be preparing for control. Melanie Ensign, founder of Discernible, a company that helps security leaders communicate effectively during high-pressure incidents, shares how weekly drills, better communication habits, and a rescue diver’s mindset can turn high-stakes incidents into manageable events. From Web3 breaches to boardroom briefings, this episode is about strategy, not panic.

As AI tools become more accessible and infrastructure evolves, developers are taking on more responsibility, and DevOps is changing fast. In this episode, Gal Porat, Global Director of DevOps at Plarium, breaks down what the shift looks like inside teams. From debugging culture and tool selection to managing without formal training, Gal shares lessons and practical advice for today’s up-and-coming engineering leaders.

Most security teams chase alerts. Liran’s team builds systems.

Playtika’s CISO, Liran Sheinbox, reveals how automation with a developer mindset helped reduce MTTR to seconds, even with a lean team. He shares how real design partnerships build trust, why AI is no longer “just a feature,” and how working with startups can drive innovation and retain top talent. A must-listen for security leaders, vendors, and tech decision-makers alike.

This webinar & podcast are built for founders, CTOs, and VPs navigating the critical shift from MVP to production-grade infrastructure. Learn how to avoid scaling pitfalls, build resilient systems without overhiring, and make the right decisions now to support rapid, sustainable growth.

Join us to unlock practical strategies and real-world lessons from companies that have already made the leap.
