Sam Eizad to guest The Growth Hackers — why hackers love weak online stores

What makes an ethical hacker with years of terminal code behind him leave his keyboard and step into a podcast studio? On August 23, 2024, our co-founder Sam Eizad sat down with host Jorge Castro in the podcast The Growth Hackers for a three-quarter conversation about the Achilles heels of e-commerce and how they can be strengthened before someone unauthorized gets there.

Sam has more than fifteen years of offensive security experience and a string of bug-bounty successes at Google, Microsoft and Apple, among others, on the track record. In the podcast, he tells how attackers map a store, what kind of misconfigurations attract the most and why “it's all about finding weak points in the systems,” as he puts it.

The conversation moves from technology to people. Layer-on-layer protection and regular penetration tests are the foundation, but Sam stresses that without conscious employees, the firewall is the most backdrop. That's why Cyloq builds not only tests but also tailor-made awareness programs that make safety a habit in everyday life.

It's close to our own philosophy -- we protect by attacking first. PEN tests, red-team drills and lightning-fast incident response give our customers the ability to close gaps before anyone else finds them.

Curious about all the details? The episode can be found on ehandel.se/podd and Spotify. Sit back, listen and hear back if you want to know what an offensive security test can reveal in your particular platform.

On 23 August 2024 our co-founder Sam Eizad swapped console windows for a studio microphone and joined host Jorge Castro on The Growth Hackers podcasts. Resultat je.

Sam brings more than fifteen years in offensive security plus high-profile bug bounty wins against Google, Microsoft and Apple. He explains the attacker's mindset and reminds listeners that “finding the soft spots in a system” is step one for any breach attempt.

Tools alone won't cut it. Layered defenses and routine penetration tests matter, yet culture completes the shield. Zato je razvoj Cyloq s s, v.

Our creed is simple — protect by striking first. Pen-tests, red-team engagements and rapid incident handling reveal, respond, and reinforce long before real attackers get a chance.

Curious? Find the episode on ehandel.se/podd or Spotify, then drop us a line. We are ready to put your storefront to the test — on your terms, not the attacker's.
