From Ethical Hacker to Serial Founder | Francisco Nina Rente | Cyber Security District Podcast
What does it take to build a cybersecurity company not once, but twice from the ground up? In this episode of Cyber Security District, we sit down with Francisco Nina Rente, one of Portugal's most accomplished cybersecurity entrepreneurs. Francisco started his journey as a teenager tinkering with computers and quickly found his way into ethical hacking and open-source security communities. That curiosity became a career, which then led to a company. His first venture grew from a university incubator into a 250-person operation delivering services across 22 countries, before being acquired by a global security group. After years scaling that business from the inside and taking on roles as country manager, CTO and board member, Francisco stepped away to build again. This time, the mission is clearer: help organisations stop just detecting threats and start truly recovering from them. Art Resilia was born out of a conviction that the market was shifting from cybersecurity to cyber resilience, and Francisco positioned the company right at the centre of that shift. Key Takeaways: Cyber resilience is about recovery, not just defence Focus beats opportunity-chasing, especially in the early days of a startup The Commonwealth of a team always comes before individual interest Trust-based security communication outlasts fear-based selling every time Knowledge remains the core differentiator, even in the age of AI Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction01:20 – From a family computer to a hacker mindset04:00 – First paid gig: penetration testing for hardware05:30 – Building Portugal's first incident response team at university09:00 – Selling trust, not fear: early media and awareness work11:00 – Scaling to 22 countries and finding the right investors15:30 – The acquisition: joining a global security group20:00 – Growing into CTO and leaving on his own terms22:00 – The idea behind Art Resilia and reading the market shift24:30 – The name: "The Art of Resilience"25:00 – Where Art Resilia stands today: 50 people, 4 countries27:00 – Why the Netherlands and Benelux?28:00 – Lessons from 20 years of building: focus, people, pragmatism33:00 – Culture, remote work, and hiring for values first40:00 – What's next for Art Resilia in 3–5 years43:00 – AI in cybersecurity: tool or transformation?45:30 – Advice for young professionals entering the field52:00 – Final message to CISOs: protect both business confidentiality and individual privacy Connect with the guest:Francisco Nina Rente: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frente/Website: https://www.artresilia.com Follow Cyber Security District: Laurens Jagt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurensjagt/ Website: https://www.cybersecuritydistrict.com/ All channels & newsletter: https://beacons.ai/cybersecuritydistrict

Automating the Boring Parts of Cybersecurity Consulting | Leslie Clement & Erie Berhitu, Clember AI | Cyber Security District
What if you could clone your best cybersecurity consultant and put them to work on five engagements at once? In this episode of Cyber Security District, we sit down with Leslie Clement and Erie Berhitu, co-founders of Clember AI, an EU-first, AI-native platform built to automate the repetitive, time-consuming work that holds cybersecurity consultants back. Both Leslie and Erie spent years grinding through the same manual loops at major consultancy firms document analysis, gap assessments, risk reports, roadmaps before deciding enough was enough. Rather than build another consulting firm or hire more headcount, they built a platform. Clember AI now enables security consultants to run five or more client engagements simultaneously, with consistent, high-quality output every time. And they did it entirely bootstrapped, no VC, no investor pressure, just product-market fit and a clear-eyed vision of where cybersecurity consulting is heading. In this episode, we explore: How a company getting hacked on day one of the job launched Leslie’s career in cybersecurity The year-long frustration that led Erie and Leslie to build Clember AI instead of another consulting firm Why they chose to stay bootstrapped despite investor interest and why they don’t regret it How Clember AI automates the full consulting lifecycle: document ingestion, gap analysis, risk translation, and reporting Why consistency across junior and senior consultants is a bigger deal than most firms admit The shift from hourly billing to monthly retainers and how Clember keeps consulting firms “interesting” to clients year three and beyond Their vision: becoming the Datasnipper of cybersecurity consulting Why embracing AI is non-negotiable for CISOs and why helping early-stage startups matters for the whole industry Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:15 – Meet Leslie Clement and Erie Berhitu 01:40 – How Erie got into cybersecurity (and why it wasn’t exactly planned) 02:45 – Leslie’s rough first day: getting hacked with no tech team 04:00 – The shared frustration that sparked Clember AI 06:10 – Why they chose to build a tech firm instead of a consulting firm 08:30 – The first product concept: automating the questionnaire 11:20 – Who Clember AI is actually for: cybersecurity consultancy firms 14:00 – Billable hours vs. scale: how Clember changes the math 17:30 – The shift from hourly billing to monthly retainers and staying interesting in year three 22:00 – Will AI kill traditional consultancy? Leslie and Erie’s take 25:10 – How Clember works: document ingestion, gap analysis, risk translation, roadmaps 29:00 – Consistency across consultant seniority levels 31:30 – Hiring technical talent as non-technical founders 34:00 – Staying bootstrapped despite VC interest and why pivoting was easier without investor pressure 38:30 – What made Clember appealing at an early stage 41:00 – The hiccups: work-life balance, family, and knowing when to step away 44:30 – Gut feeling vs. rational decision-making as founders 48:00 – The vision: Clember as the Datasnipper for cybersecurity consulting 51:30 – What’s next: new markets, sales hires, and scaling customer success 54:00 – Data privacy and security by design inside Clember 57:00 – Final message to CISOs: embrace innovation, and back the startups Connect with the guests: Leslie Clement: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-clement/ Erie Berhitu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eberhitu/ Website: https://www.clember.ai/ Follow Cyber Security District: Laurens Jagt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurensjagt/ Website: https://www.cybersecuritydistrict.com/ All channels & newsletter: https://beacons.ai/cybersecuritydistrict

How Hackers Bypass MFA: The Rise of Infostealers with Tom Leijte, Founder of Passguard
In this episode of Cyber Security District, we speak with Tom Leijte, founder of Passguard, one of the most exciting emerging cybersecurity companies in the Netherlands. Passguard helps organizations detect when infected devices, stolen credentials, and active sessions show up on criminal marketplaces, giving security teams early visibility before exposure turns into a breach. Tom shares how his journey started outside of “traditional” cybersecurity, working in private investigations where dark web intelligence was already part of high-stakes screening work. Together with his technical co-founder, he built the capabilities to infiltrate closed criminal forums and surface the kind of forensic-level logs most companies never see until it’s too late. In this episode, we cover: Using dark web intelligence for sensitive employee screening Why “classic” dark web monitoring often gets deprioritized by security teams The infostealer shift: stolen session tokens, not just leaked passwords How session theft can bypass MFA and why that changes the game How criminal marketplaces work (and how trust is built among criminals) How Passguard infiltrates closed forums using reputation, escrow, and long-term access Building a European-first solution and partnering with MSSPs / security platforms Scaling after investment: team growth, ICP clarity, and market expansion Timestamps:00:00 – Intro00:15 – Meet Tom Leijte and Passguard’s mission00:37 – Early visibility: exposure before it becomes a breach01:22 – Tom’s background in private investigations02:13 – Screening sensitive roles using open-source + dark web sources03:47 – Why dark web intelligence matters for organizations04:39 – How Passguard started (and the co-founder story)05:53 – What surprised Tom most about the dark web06:20 – Data breaches vs data brokers: what ends up for sale07:20 – Discovering infostealers and why they’re different08:17 – Session tokens, MFA bypass, and the “unmanaged endpoint” problem10:01 – What infostealers capture (sessions, access, and more)11:10 – Why SaaS + remote work + BYOD changed attacker economics12:27 – Supplier and branch-office risk: the blind spot organizations miss14:31 – Why classic “dark web monitoring” wasn’t landing in the market15:38 – The Mom Test and learning to run real customer conversations18:08 – Reframing the problem: focusing on infostealer exposure20:38 – How the dark web works (no “bookmark”, reputation, escrow)23:11 – Passguard’s approach: bots, reputation, and long-term infiltration25:55 – Real-world example: infostealers and large-scale government breaches27:37 – What stolen access is worth and how it gets packaged for sale29:19 – Screenshots, persistence, and “always up-to-date” stolen sessions30:05 – Educating customers and turning awareness into action31:03 – What Passguard delivers: evidence, context, and early alerts33:08 – The Snowflake case: old credentials, massive impact36:06 – Scaling after investment: pressure, growth, and coping37:18 – Why Tom chose experienced cyber investors and operators39:43 – Passguard as intelligence inside MSP/MSSP security workflows41:45 – Team expansion and what roles matter most next43:27 – ICP clarity and European market expansion45:27 – Signal message to CISOs: give startups a chance early46:50 – Outro Connect with the guests: Tom Leijte: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-leijte-01596536/ Website: https://www.passguard.com/ Follow Cybersecurity District: Laurens Jagt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurensjagt/ Website: https://www.cybersecuritydistrict.com/ All channels & newsletter: https://beacons.ai/cybersecuritydistrict
