What an amazing experience chatting with Rocco Strydom on the SGM Podcast. We got to dive into some details about Hakware and XGRC ® Software – a Strategix Group Company.
I am really looking forward to the episode!
Cybersecurity remains extremely undervalued and not talked about enough – seemingly AI is causing more vunerabilities through people like me that are “vibe coding”, so we need the mind of Jacob O’Brien from Hakware (sexy) and XGRC ® Software – a Strategix Group Company (not so sexy, but just as important) to keep us safe (mainly from bad guys, but also from ourselves)
I got to meet him this week and learn about things I need to know more about, so I can’t wait to share the episode with you guys
Look out for him in a future SGM Podcast episode!
In this episode of The Stonks Go Moon Podcast, host Rocco Strydom sits down with Jacob O’Brien, Founder and CEO of Hakware and XGRC Software—two companies at the bleeding edge of AI-powered cybersecurity and compliance automation. They dive into: Why most cybersecurity software is broken (and boring) What an AI-driven penetration test actually looks like What companies get wrong about compliance and ISO How AI is being weaponized by cybercriminals—and what you can do about it Why Jacob still codes alongside his engineers (and what “vibe coding” gets dangerously wrong) Plus: the shocking demo he gave at Microsoft’s Seasons of AI event, where a GPT-powered script was used to weaponize the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in real-time. Whether you’re a startup founder, enterprise CTO, or just want to sleep better at night knowing your data is secure—this episode is a must-listen.
