What security advice is actually helping people stay safe, and what has become outdated “hack lore”?

In this episode of the Inverted Podcast, Jeroen Kemperman, Dana Kaufman, and Dario Salice are joined by Bob Lord (former Yahoo CISO, former Twitter security leader, and founder of Hacklore) to debunk some of the most persistent myths in cybersecurity.

The conversation explores why common advice such as avoiding public Wi‑Fi, using a VPN for everyday browsing, constantly changing passwords, clearing cookies, avoiding QR codes, or worrying about "juice jacking" may no longer reflect how modern attacks actually work. Bob explains how security guidance can outlive the threats it was created to address, creating confusion, wasted effort, and a false sense of security.

The group also discusses Secure by Design principles, why security teams need better data to drive decisions, how passkeys are changing authentication, and what new myths may be emerging in the age of AI.

If you build, market, sell, or use security products, this episode is a practical guide to separating real risk from security folklore and focusing on what truly makes people safer.

Product Design for Trust & Safety | Inverted Podcast

In this episode of the Inverted Podcast, special guest Elliott Sainsbury joins co-hosts Dario Salice, Dana Kaufman, and Cristina for a deep conversation about the role of product design in privacy, security, and trust & safety.

Design is more than making interfaces look good or writing clear button text. It shapes how people understand what happens to their data, what choices they’re making, and when they should stop and think before taking action. The group explores how product teams can move beyond dense privacy notices and one-time consent screens toward clearer, more contextual experiences that build trust over time.

Elliott shares insights from his work in content design and enterprise software, including how thoughtful messaging, consistent terminology, and intentional friction can help users make better decisions. Dana reflects on how privacy has evolved in product management, from late-stage checkboxes to upfront considerations shaped by regulation, AI, and changing user expectations. Cristina brings a security engineering perspective, connecting these ideas to secure defaults, threat modeling, least privilege, and the importance of helping engineers build safer products without unnecessary friction.

Topics include:

➡️ Why trust and safety should be part of the product experience

➡️ How to make privacy and security choices clearer for users

➡️ The trade-offs between opt-in and opt-out models

➡️ Why “frictionless” isn’t always the right goal

➡️ How AI is making privacy and product development more complex

➡️ The role of designers, product managers, and engineers in building trustworthy systems

➡️ Why trust has to be maintained throughout the user journey, not just at signup

If you work in product, design, security, privacy, or AI, this conversation is a practical look at how teams can build products that respect users, reduce surprises, and make trust a core part of the experience.

Who should watch:

Security professionals, IAM engineers, CISOs, developers, product managers, compliance teams, and anyone interested in digital identity and AI.

In this episode of the Inverted Podcast, we dive into one of the most overlooked — and risky — aspects of modern digital systems: account recovery.

Joined by security expert Dean H. Saxe, the conversation explores why recovery isn’t just a backup feature, but often the weakest link in your entire authentication system. From real-world examples of compromised accounts to the surprising ways attackers exploit recovery flows, the team breaks down how even the most secure login systems can fail.

You’ll hear insights on:

➡️ Why account recovery should be treated as a first-class security feature, not an afterthought

➡️ How attackers exploit weak recovery processes instead of breaking strong authentication

➡️ The trade-offs between security, privacy, and accessibility when designing recovery systems

➡️ The real business impact of poor recovery experiences — from lost users to increased costs

➡️ Emerging approaches like passkeys, digital credentials, and identity verification

➡️ Practical advice for both product teams and everyday users to stay protected

Beyond the technical details, this episode highlights the human side of recovery — from frustrated users locked out of their accounts to the real-life consequences of losing access to your digital identity.

How Do You Build AI Products That Are Compliant Before It’s Too Late?

In this special episode of the Inverted podcast, host Dario Salice sits down with Dexter Awoyemi, an independent AI systems architect working at the intersection of AI, regulation, and product design. Together, they explore what it really means to build AI systems responsibly—before compliance becomes a painful afterthought.

Dexter introduces his philosophy of “clarity before code”, arguing that teams should start with intent, risk classification, and human oversight rather than jumping straight into models and frameworks. The conversation dives deep into the EU AI Act, including how turning complex regulations into executable knowledge graphs can help product and engineering teams reason about their obligations without reading hundreds of pages of legal text.

You’ll hear a candid discussion about:

➡️ Why human-in-the-loop is a non‑negotiable requirement for AI systems—and how it affects UX, auditability, and accountability

➡️ Common mistakes teams make when applying AI to complex reasoning and regulatory interpretation

➡️ How compliance, security, and product teams can collaborate earlier instead of acting as late-stage gatekeepers

➡️ What product teams should focus on first: risk classification, observability, and designing for failure modes

➡️ Why AI regulation, much like GDPR, is likely to become the global default—and why early compliance is not wasted work

This episode is especially valuable for product managers, engineers, and founders building AI-powered products in regulated or soon-to-be-regulated environments who want to avoid expensive rewrites, organizational friction, and downstream risk.

If you’re interested in real-world security strategies, AI security, zero trust, and the evolving challenges facing media organizations, this episode is a must-listen.

🎙️ Inverted Podcast #20 — Targeted Attacks: Protecting High‑Risk People and Organizations 🎙️

What does it really mean to be a high‑risk user—and how are targeted attacks different from everyday phishing and scams?

In this episode of the Inverted Podcast, Jeroen Kemperman is joined by co-hosts Dario Salice and Dana Kaufman, with special guest Mike Sager, to break down the world of targeted cyberattacks. Together, they explore how activists, journalists, political candidates, founders, and other high‑value individuals are targeted by well‑resourced adversaries—and why conventional security advice often falls short for these groups.

The conversation dives into how nation‑states, organized crime, and sophisticated attackers operate differently from “drive‑by” attackers, investing time and resources to research their targets, craft personalized lures, and escalate attacks until they succeed. The panel discusses real‑world examples like political campaigns, advocacy organizations, journalists, and small consulting teams that become critical entry points for attackers—often without the resources of large enterprises.

The episode also looks at how AI and data leakage are changing the threat landscape, making highly personalized social‑engineering attacks faster, cheaper, and more scalable than ever before. As the panel explains, techniques that once required days or weeks of effort can now be performed in hours—dramatically expanding who can be targeted and how.

From a product and platform perspective, the discussion turns to what builders can do to better protect high‑risk users. Drawing on experience with programs like Google’s Advanced Protection Program, panel discusses raising the security baseline, giving users ways to opt into stronger protections, being opinionated about defaults, and balancing security with usability so protections don’t get turned off.

The episode wraps with practical advice for individuals who believe they may be targeted—ranging from using hardware security keys, to seeking help from trusted organizations, to developing a mindset of verification and healthy skepticism.

If you’re building products for real people—or you worry that you or your users might be a high‑value target—this episode offers clear, grounded insights on how to think about security when failure really matters.

If you’re interested in real-world security strategies, zero trust, and the evolving challenges facing media organizations, this episode is a must-listen.
