No Password Required Podcast
@nopasswordpod
A podcast dedicated to exploring the minds and personalities that make up the field of cybersecurity. We talk about cybersecurity and a lot of other stuff!
Philipp Leo's LinkedIn bio reads like three different people. Military officer. UN diplomat on the Korean DMZ. Cyber advisor to Fortune 500 boards. Published in MIT Sloan. Part of Europol's expert network. Oh, and he studied art history. Presented by ThreatLocker Supported by DerScanner
@bowtiesecurityguy.bsky.social remembers every act of kindness ever shown to him, the food court worker who looked away, the battle buddies who showed up, the leader who told him the hard truth. He built his career on one belief: kindness isn't soft. It's a strategy. For leading. Hiring. Mentoring.
🧵 @rexwilson.bsky.social has been the undisputed hat champion of No Password Required since day one. BowtieSecurityGuy showed up and changed everything. Rob's hat collection captured our attention, but his story captured our hearts. Presented by ThreatLocker Supported by Der Scanner
On No Password Required, we get to sit down with some of the sharpest minds in cybersecurity. Today that meant a conversation with Philipp Leo, founder of Leo & Muhly GmbH, a Swiss cyber expert who advises governments, trains military specialists, and has represented the United Nations.

If you are speaking at BSides Tampa and on No Password Required, you surely like to code, right? Mudita Khurana knew early on that she didn't love coding the way the people around her did. She stuck with it anyway. Found her place. Presented by ThreatLocker @cyberflorida.bsky.social
AI isn't just changing what security teams defend against. It's changing whether the tools they're building will even be relevant in three months. Check it out on your favorite podcast platform and YouTube. Presented by ThreatLocker
Life in the cybersecurity world is no day on the beach, well sometimes it is. Your title, location, or how you recharge does not define your ability to lead. Mudita Khurana tried management, was good at it, and then deliberately walked away from it. Listen now. Link in the comments.
Like Jules Winfield said, personality goes a long way. That’s why we love the Lifestyle Polygraph segment, it reveals so many things that a strictly cyber conversation could never do. Deadpool is NOT a superhero. And her dream remote work base is an 11,000-foot Buddhist town in the Himalayas.
What did you do at Bsides Tampa? We talked to Mudita Khurana, Tech Lead at Airbnb about the three leadership qualities worth obsessing over. Clarity. Ownership. Consistency. Did you miss it? No problem, we have the full episode linked in the comments. Presented by #Threatlocker
Mudita Khurana didn't grow up dreaming of a career in cyber. She comes from a family of doctors and picked computer science mostly as an act of rebellion. Recorded live at Tampa BSides. Presented by ThreatLocker www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoA7... @cyberflorida.bsky.social @rexwilson.bsky.social
