Episode Summary:

Let’s talk about telecom infrastructure: complex, overlooked, and still running on outdated tools most vendors were never built to secure. This episode, we’re joined by Taha Sajid, telecom security architect and founder of Xecurity Pulse, who’s on a mission to fix the gaps in enterprise tools.

From growing up in Pakistan to leading security efforts at Huawei and Comcast, Taha’s story is all about solving real-world problems, sharing what he’s learned, and pushing back against the copy-paste approach to infrastructure security. He breaks down how an education-first go-to-market (GTM) strategy helped him land his first customers and why understanding the telecom stack is critical to protecting what matters most.

We also get into:

The human factors that still break security programs
Bootcamps that turn into a pipeline
Solving problems vs. pushing tools
Plus, the school Taha dreams of building for kids who deserve better than the status quo education.

👉 If you’re selling technical solutions, building trust from scratch, or just tired of surface-level cyber talk, this one’s for you.
