About the show

A weekly cybersecurity podcast for people who build and break things.

The Secure Disclosure is a weekly cybersecurity podcast hosted by Mackenzie Jackson, bringing on researchers, CISOs, and builders to talk through the news, research, and real incidents shaping application and developer security.

Mackenzie grew up in a traveling circus in New Zealand and traded juggling fire for something even more dangerous: application security. He's the co-founder and former CTO of Australian health tech company Conpago, now Field CTO at Aikido Security, and has spoken in 30+ countries — though he still insists New Zealand makes the best coffee.

Each episode runs about 30 minutes, no filler, just the story and what it means for the people writing and defending applications and organizations.
