In this episode of Unspoken Security, host A.J. Nash sits down with Lauren
Zabierek, Senior Vice President for the Future of Digital Security at the
Institute for Security and Technology. Together, they examine how the
traditional view of national security often overlooks the people it seeks to
protect. Lauren shares why national security must move beyond military
and government, and instead focus on the everyday risks that affect
everyone—whether that’s cybersecurity, healthcare, or even climate safety.
Lauren makes a strong case for widening the lens on security. She explains
why protecting people requires new thinking and fresh policies, not just
more funding for defense. She also describes the need for face-to-face
connections and open dialogue to rebuild trust and unity in a fractured
world.
The conversation turns to software and the Secure by Design movement.
Lauren outlines how changing incentives for software companies can lead
to safer products. She draws on lessons from automotive and aviation
safety to show paths forward, and encourages listeners to help drive
demand for secure technology across all industries.
