Lost In Cyberia
Cybersecurity doesn't have to be boring or a tick-box exercise. Annie-Mei Forster and Anika Guenov sit down with the people shaping the world of cyber: founders, researchers, and the occasional DEFCON after-party regular for honest, jargon-free conversations about what's actually going on in the industry. Because behind every threat, tool, and policy, there's a human story worth telling.

We are back in 2026 with our first guest of the year Louis Cremen (although this was recorded last year). Louis shares his interesting career journey from software development to becoming a leading cybersecurity educator. He talks about the challenges of centralising security testing for a whole country, the thrill of traveling and working internationally, and the importance of sovereign capabilities in AI and quantum computing for Australia.
Louis shares his teaching experience, including the power of using Spider-Man references and Annie-Mei shares hers too of using animal noises to explain English words. Louis emphasises the importance of staying curious, continuous learning, and the need for Australia to step up its game in promoting local talent and businesses in cybersecurity.
Whether you're a newbie in cyber or a seasoned pro, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in for a mix of humour, education, and inspiration to get out of your comfort zone. Also a reminder that not all risk is bad, as taking risks breeds innovation and creativity!
