Derek Abdine, CEO & Co-Founder of Furl, joins CyberBytes live from Black Hat USA 2026 to discuss why cybersecurity's biggest challenge isn't finding vulnerabilities anymore, it's fixing them.
In this episode, Derek shares his journey from reverse engineering video games and working at Rapid7 to building Furl, an autonomous remediation platform focused on helping organisations close the gap between detection and response.
The conversation explores AI-driven security, shrinking exploitation windows, startup culture, hiring top engineering talent, and what it takes to build a cybersecurity company from the ground up.
🎙️ Topics covered:
• Why remediation is cybersecurity's next frontier
• How AI is accelerating both attacks and defence
• Building and scaling a startup after stealth
• The qualities Derek looks for when hiring
• Startup lessons, decision-making, and founder advice
• Black Hat 2026 trends and hot takes
