Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks

Code as Critical Infrastructure, Entrepreneurship, and Funding Innovation


Listen Later

Tanya Janca joins the show this week, with unique perspective on building secure software and advocating for better cybersecurity policy.

George K and George A talk to Tanya about:

  • Her transition from 14 years as a Canadian public servant to private sector entrepreneurship
  • The core values that guide her work: performing good and moving the industry toward secure software
  • Entrepreneurship since age 19: solving real problems that hurt badly enough for people to pay
  • Civil advocacy for security by design policies and challenging inadequate government cybersecurity practices

Tanya's perspective on building businesses around genuine problem-solving rather than just seeking acquisition or wealth creation offers valuable insights for any founder. 

Whether you're interested in secure coding, entrepreneurship, or how to advocate for better cybersecurity policy, this episode delivers actionable insights from someone who's been in the trenches and made real impact.
