The Flight Delay That Launched A Cybersecurity Rocketship - Dune Security

In this episode, Joseph sits down with David DellaPelle, CEO and Co-founder of Dune Security, to unpack one of the biggest and fastest evolving challenges in cybersecurity today: human risk.

David shares his unexpected path into the industry, from early work to rapid growth at Perimeter 81, before a chance meeting on a delayed flight sparked the beginnings of Dune Security. He breaks down why traditional security awareness is a legacy, ineffective solution, and how Dune Security is rebuilding the category with user adaptive risk management, real behavioural insight and continuous red teaming across every channel.

From identifying malicious insiders, to tackling AI driven spear phishing at scale, to giving low risk employees time back, David explains how Dune Security is changing the way modern enterprises understand and manage human risk. He also talks about the growth of the company, the influence of its deep bench of enterprise CISO advisors and what the next wave of human and non-human identity risk looks like.
