About Unencrypted Chatter - ISC2 New Jersey Chapter Podcast
Welcome to Unencrypted Chatter, the official podcast of the ISC2 NJ Chapter! Join us as we explore the unique experiences and challenges within our cybersecurity community. Each episode features in-depth interviews with members, leaders, and experts who share their stories, insights, and wisdom on a wide range of topics that matter to us. Whether you're looking to stay informed, get inspired, or simply feel connected, Unencrypted Chatter is the place to be!
On this stop of the Unencrypted Chatter Roadshow, host Joe Patti catches up with NJ SECON speaker Debra Price ahead of her talk to explore what happens when cybersecurity meets Go-to-Market strategy.
Debra breaks down GTM and why building a great product is only part of the equation. With 42% of startups failing because of a lack of product-market fit, understanding your audience, analyzing the market, and determining whether there is real demand can make all the difference.
The conversation also explores the growing role of AI in Go-to-Market strategies. AI tools can help accelerate research and analysis, but they can also create new challenges when organizations make assumptions about their market, pricing, or the problems customers are actually willing to pay to solve.
From finding the right market and analyzing demand to pricing and product-market fit, Joe and Debra look at the business considerations that can determine whether an idea gains traction or falls short.

Episode#26: Fighting AI with AI with Dr. Erdal Ozkaya
AI is making us faster and smarter, but it is doing the same for the adversary.
Recorded live at NJ SECON 2026, closing keynote speaker Dr. Erdal Ozkaya joins hosts Joe Patti and Rich Mendoza to explore the new rules of enterprise security in an age where AI is both a powerful defender and an emerging weapon.
From prompt-based attack vectors and the growing threat of Shadow AI to attackers moving faster than defenders, the conversation challenges us to rethink how we protect our organizations. If defenders are the back wheel of the bicycle, how do we stop following and start getting ahead?
The discussion also ventures into almost science-fiction territory: we are increasingly relying on AI to defend us while still working to fully understand, govern, and control what we are creating.
Featuring Joe Patti and Rich Mendoza, with Audio Engineer Charlie Fraser.

Episode#25: Inside Agentic AI with Alissa Knight
Recorded live at NJ SECON 2026, Alissa Knight joins Joe Patti and Richard Mendoza immediately following her keynote for a conversation on the future of agentic AI.
Alissa explains what an AI harness is and why it's becoming the missing piece between large language models and autonomous AI agents. Using the analogy of the harness as the "body" and the LLM as the "brain," she breaks down how these systems work together to create intelligent, task-driven AI. The discussion also explores Ares, Claude Mythos, and how agentic AI is transforming cybersecurity and the broader technology landscape.
