Security isn’t just a checkbox — it’s the foundation of trustworthy data analytics. Oren Falkowitz, Advisor at Gigasheet, joins us to explore what it really takes to secure data in the digital era. With a background spanning NSA, US Cyber Command, Amazon and Cloudflare, Oren brings a deep understanding of how to strike a balance between access and protection, especially as analytics demands grow. He explains why most companies fail to define what they need to protect, why phishing remains a top vulnerability and how treating security as a technology — not just a human — problem changes the game.

Key Takeaways:

(03:24) Government and private sector data security face similar foundational challenges.

(06:08) User training alone won’t stop phishing — it’s like expecting drivers not to text.

(10:29) Apache Accumulo shows cell-level controls matter more than having all the data.

(18:50) Intelligence turns technical data into real decisions.

(24:42) LLMs need rich, licensed data — scraping alone isn’t enough.

(27:59) Cyberattacks work because they look real, visually or organizationally authentic.

(31:03) Security improves by mastering the basics, not chasing the newest trend.

(32:43) Strong analytics matter more than the breach itself when it comes to security impact.
