In this episode of Secure Insights, James speaks with Anas Amer, co-founder of Hoplon AI, about the day-to-day realities of running security inside growing organisations. 

With a background spanning SOC, compliance, and risk, Anas brings a practical perspective shaped by years of working directly with teams who are trying to keep up with increasing demands and limited resources.
They talk openly about the challenges many businesses face but don’t always articulate: complex tech environments, no dedicated security function, messy compliance requirements, and attackers who are becoming faster and more sophisticated. Anas shares what he sees repeatedly when advising organisations across different sectors, from where security efforts commonly fall short to what actually helps teams regain control without adding unnecessary friction.

The conversation stays focused on people and decisions rather than products. It looks at how leaders can approach security in a way that supports growth, reduces pressure on already stretched teams, and creates a more realistic path to maturity. A useful listen for anyone responsible for security, risk, or operations who wants a clearer view of what “good” really looks like in practice.
