Security Sutra, powered by Startuprad.io™, is your gateway into Europe’s fast-moving world of cybersecurity startups, innovation, and venture capital. Hosted by Joe Menninger, the show uncovers how founders, investors, and policymakers are building digital resilience across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (the DACH region).

In an age of AI-driven threats, escalating data risks, and global digital warfare, Security Sutra explores how technology, policy, and investment intersect to protect Europe’s digital backbone. Each episode features leading founders, CISOs, researchers, and VC partners who share what it takes to build, fund, and scale cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions — from zero-trust architectures and SOC automation to post-quantum encryption and cyber insurance innovation.

From Frankfurt to Berlin, Zurich to Vienna, this podcast spotlights the startups and investors shaping the next generation of European cybersecurity.

Topics we cover:
• Cybersecurity startup ecosystems and venture funding trends
• AI in threat detection, SOC optimization, and incident response
• Identity, access management, and zero-trust frameworks
• Data privacy, compliance, and GDPR-driven innovation
• Cloud security and DevSecOps best practices
• Cyber resilience in fintech, IoT, and industrial automation
• Defense-tech and national security collaboration across Europe

Each episode goes beyond headlines to deliver actionable insights for founders, investors, CISOs, and analysts who want to understand Europe’s cyber innovation landscape. Whether you’re in a corporate SOC or a startup accelerator, Security Sutra provides the context and foresight you need to navigate a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
