Episode notes
From Football Modeling To Cyber Career
- Henry recounts building a football-manager performance model at university and advising Cambridge United.
- That work led to running the club and later connections that brought him to Darktrace.
Visibility Turns Security From Blocker To Enabler
- Security teams often block agent adoption when they lack visibility and confidence in controls.
- With visibility, security can enable innovation rather than simply prohibit agent usage.
Make Engineers Owners Of Agent Visibility
- Give engineers direct visibility into the agents they own to make remediation a shared responsibility.
- Pair security and engineering workflows so fixes are rapid and ownership is clear.
