    • Metaphors, Missed Signals, and Making Cyber Make Sense with Evgeniy Kharam

      Metaphors, Missed Signals, and Making Cyber Make Sense with Evgeniy Kharam
      Jul 9 2025
      Episode summary: Security architect, podcast host, and author Evgeniy Kharam has seen it again and again: a company buys a shiny new security product, and a year later, it’s still sitting on the shelf. Not because it didn’t work, but because no one knew how to explain it, use it, or get buy-in. That gap between buying and deploying, between knowing and communicating, is what pulled Evgeniy into his next chapter. After years in technical delivery and architecture, he realized that soft skills weren’t nice to have; they were survival tools. In this episode, we talk about what happens when security teams can’t translate what they do, how marketers can meet them in the middle, and why metaphors (tents, dogs, houses, you’ll see) work. We get into RSA booth fatigue, Zoom call awkwardness, and what it takes to connect with someone who’s nodding along but completely lost. Also: hummus etiquette, a three-year campaign to get Evgeniy to CyberMarketingCon, and his dream escape plan involving a shawarma truck. 🔗 Links & Resources: 🎙️ Security Architecture PodcastCo-hosted by Evgeniy Kharam and Dmitry Raidman, this podcast delves into cybersecurity architecture, offering insights into network, application, and cloud security.Listen to the podcast 📘 Architecting Success: The Art of Soft Skills in Technical SalesEvgeniy Kharam's book emphasizes the importance of soft skills in technical sales and provides strategies to enhance communication and build trust.

Watch on YouTube About Evgeniy: Evgeniy Kharam has worn nearly every hat in cybersecurity from firewall deployment engineer to VP of Architecture at the Herjavec Group, where he helped grow the team from 15 to over 300. Over two decades in the industry gave him a front-row seat to a recurring problem: great tech failing because no one knew how to explain it. That realization led him to focus on something most security pros avoid talking about: soft skills. He’s now the author of Architecting Success: The Art of Soft Skills in Technical Sales, host of From Tech to Trust, and co-founder of the Security Architecture Podcast. He also moderates panels, hosts interviews, and advises on the board of the Canadian Cybersecurity Network. Evgeniy blends technical depth with a human-first approach, whether running a ski-slope cybersecurity conference or helping vendors communicate like real people. He now leads his own consulting firm, where he guides cybersecurity companies through both architecture and storytelling. Subscribe & Review: Enjoyed this episode?

    • Scrappy Then, Strategic Now: The Evolution of a Cybersecurity CMO

      Scrappy Then, Strategic Now: The Evolution of a Cybersecurity CMO
      Jul 2 2025
      Most first marketers don’t stay long enough to see scale. Thomas LeDuc did. Six years in, he’s still at Semperis, leading a 35-person marketing team and showing it’s possible to evolve from scrappy to strategic. Gianna and Charles explore what makes that kind of longevity possible: the mindset shifts, the habits that stuck, and the moments that nearly broke him. This episode is full of clarity, honesty, and the kind of leadership most people don’t talk about. You’ll hear: Why growing with the company means unlearning just as much as learning. How Tom hires people who want the blank page, not the playbook What it takes to stop micromanaging and still care deeply The difference between culture as words and culture as actions How a team's passion project became a Braille space education initiative This one will land if you’ve ever had to scale yourself while scaling a team. 🔗 Links & Resources: Semperis — ⁠semperis.com⁠ How to build a centaur: Semperis hits $100M ARR milestone: https://www.insightpartners.com/ideas/how-to-build-a-centaur-semperis-hits-100m-arr-milestone/ When Space Camp calls, you go! #ForceForGood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEgz45b-RgA ⁠Webflow⁠ — No-code website builder ⁠Join the Cybersecurity Marketing Society⁠: Join our 3,700+ member Slack, find jobs, and get connected. About Tom: Tom LeDuc joined Semperis in 2019 as a scrappy marketer and helped scale the company from a few million ARR to now more than $100M ARR, reaching “centaur status” in 2024. Today, he leads a 35-person team as CMO, overseeing everything from brand and product marketing to demand gen, field programs, and built out the SDR program. Before Semperis, he held leadership roles at Verodin (acquired by FireEye). He got his start in cybersecurity as a BDR at Securonix and played a big role in building several categories you’ve probably seen on Gartner quadrants. Outside work, Tom is a dad of two young kiddos, makes indie films, travels a lot, and is very pro-dog. Thomas LeDuc on ⁠LinkedIn Subscribe & Review: Enjoyed this episode?

      Founder-Led GTM in Cyber: How Taha Sajid Built Trust Without Selling
      Jun 25 2025
      Episode Summary: Let’s talk about telecom infrastructure: complex, overlooked, and still running on outdated tools most vendors were never built to secure. This episode, we’re joined by Taha Sajid, telecom security architect and founder of Xecurity Pulse, who’s on a mission to fix the gaps in enterprise tools. From growing up in Pakistan to leading security efforts at Huawei and Comcast, Taha’s story is all about solving real-world problems, sharing what he’s learned, and pushing back against the copy-paste approach to infrastructure security. He breaks down how an education-first go-to-market (GTM) strategy helped him land his first customers and why understanding the telecom stack is critical to protecting what matters most. We also get into: The human factors that still break security programs Bootcamps that turn into a pipeline Solving problems vs. pushing tools Plus, the school Taha dreams of building for kids who deserve better than the status quo education. 👉 If you’re selling technical solutions, building trust from scratch, or just tired of surface-level cyber talk, this one’s for you. About Taha: Taha Sajid is the founder of Xecurity Pulse, a cybersecurity company focused on solving the unique challenges in telecom security. With a rich background that includes roles at Huawei, Ufone, and Comcast, Taha has been at the forefront of implementing Zero Trust architectures across global networks.
