In this episode of Inside the Firewall, host Justin Starbird sits down with Andrei Pusoiu, Co-Founder and COO of CyberGlobal, to discuss how the world’s first cybersecurity franchise is reshaping access to enterprise-level security.

Andrei shares the story of CyberGlobal’s eight-year journey, from a small cybersecurity operation to a global network with 30+ locations and 70+ partners, and why franchising became the key to reaching businesses of all sizes. The conversation explores:

• Reimagining Cybersecurity: Why face-to-face relationships matter in a world of faceless digital threats.

• The Future of CyberGlobal: Their ambitious goal to reach 200 locations worldwide and make high-quality cybersecurity available to everyone.

Packed with insights, real-world examples (including rescuing a factory from a ransomware attack), and a candid look at how cyber threats are evolving, this episode is perfect for business leaders looking to understand what it takes to protect their digital footprint, and why having a trusted, local cybersecurity partner matters more than ever.
