Defending Dignity in the Messiest Data on Earth with George Al-Koura
The most dangerous attack surface isn’t your infrastructure, it’s desire under pressure. When people are emotional, impulsive, and hoping for connection, security controls don’t fail… judgment does.
Ron sits down with George Al-Koura, CISO at Ruby Life, to talk about securing some of the most psychologically sensitive data on the internet, and why dating data can carry more real-world risk than financial data. From the fallout of the Tea dating-safety app breaches to impulse-driven human behavior, sexual science, and intel-driven security, this conversation cuts straight to the uncomfortable truth: protecting users means understanding how people actually behave when emotion overrides logic.
