A cyberattack used to take an elite team and a decade of hard-won instinct. Now it takes two people and a GPU.
Damien Lewke spent his career on defense – at the DoD, at CrowdStrike through its IPO, and at Arctic Wolf – then raised a $25M Series A to build Nebulock and hunt the threats hiding between your security tools.
In this conversation, Damien breaks down how AI has collapsed the cost of attacking a company, and what defenders have to do right now to keep pace. He maps the cyber kill chain stage by stage, names the three behaviors that reveal an attacker is already inside your network, and explains why ‘assume breach’ is the only realistic posture left. He also gets honest about walking away from a stable career to start over with no salary.
What you’ll learn in this video:
– The three behavioral signals that an attacker is already inside your network
– Why every stage of the cyber kill chain except the last is now automated, and what each stage costs an attacker
– The fire marshal vs. smoke detector model for threat hunting vs. reactive alerting
– How ‘green flag’ activity hides the most dangerous breaches in plain sight
– The $0 test Damien used to know he was ready to quit and start a company
– Why founders should obsess over the problem, not the solution
