🚀 Episode 49 of is LIVE! 🎙️

In our latest episode, Jones sits down with visionary leader Farrar to unpack his incredible journey from CSO to CEO — and trust us, this one’s packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

👉 Tyler takes us through the evolution from leading security at Exabeam to heading infrastructure and security at Next Power, plus co-founding Stacking Bytes to build real solutions for real problems.

🔥 Controversial call-out of the episode: Tyler doesn’t hold back — he argues that the cybersecurity industry has become too tool-obsessed and lost focus on fundamentals like access control and network segmentation, saying we’ve “completely stopped doing the basics” and that’s part of why breaches still happen.

🎧 Whether you’re an executive, security leader, or tech enthusiast, this conversation is both thought-provoking and practical.
