Show Notes
90% of cyberattacks still start with email yet most organizations are still underestimating it.
On Season 2 Episode 15 of the Digital Trust podcast, host Christian Redshaw and co-host Zach(ary) Eikenberry sit down with Gavin Roberts, CTO of Topsec Cloud Solutions, to unpack why email security remains one of the biggest and most misunderstood risks in cybersecurity.
With over 25 years of experience across fraud detection, financial systems, and email security, Roberts shares why AI is making phishing attacks more convincing than ever, while also warning against over-reliance on automation without maintaining strong technical fundamentals.
The conversation dives into: • Why email continues to be the #1 attack vector • The real impact of AI on both attackers and defenders • Why layered security beats “all-in-one” solutions • The growing risk of skill gaps in security teams
If you're relying on default email security alone… this episode is a must-watch.
