Brian has held leadership roles at Salesforce, MITRE, Raytheon, and Taulia, giving him a rare 360-degree perspective on the evolution of modern cyber risk. In The SaaS Breach Epidemic: Why Financial Data Has Never Been More Exposed, Brian unpacks one of the fastest-growing and least-understood cybersecurity threats facing financial services today: the explosion of SaaS applications across the enterprise. From Zoom to Salesforce, M365 to Workday, financial institutions rely on over 150+ SaaS applications every day — each with constantly changing configurations, expanding data access, and user permissions that shift by the hour. This convenience has created a massive, tangled, and largely invisible attack surface. Misconfigurations, data sprawl, unmanaged integrations, and limited visibility across cloud apps have made SaaS one of the most actively targeted layers of the financial services threat landscape — yet it remains one of the least proactively defended. Whether you’re a CISO, security engineer, SaaS administrator, fintech founder, or risk leader, this conversation provides a rare, behind-the-scenes analysis of the SaaS security gaps affecting financial services — and practical guidance to address them before they become breaches. <br /><br />⭐ What You’ll Learn<br />• Why SaaS applications have become one of the biggest cyber risks in financial services <br />• How misconfigurations and SaaS data sprawl lead to massive breaches <br />• Why financial institutions struggle to secure 150+ cloud apps at scale <br />• The most exploited gaps across Salesforce, M365, Google Workspace, Workday &amp; more <br />• How attackers target SaaS environments — and what they look for <br />• Compliance pressure from SOX, PCI DSS, GDPR, DORA, ISO 27001, NIST, APRA CPS 234 <br />• Practical steps financial institutions can take to secure their SaaS estate today <br /><br />** Stay ahead of industry trends — subscribe to our newsletter: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbk1GY01ZUElvYmxUd29PRHFSRXk4SFZPb3F3Z3xBQ3Jtc0tsRVZFU2U0YWxuMjlSYUV2eEZ4RGxIeFRyalRYemtENGdURTFySGRvRmdQVjBacm4yN1Rndm1TbGowcXVYR1pkZmV0M2M3ZXJENVlXM0IyOWFKLXA2YUw3VFUyUkJXS1A0Yk5kZ0QtWmFiTHNFVWVPcw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftechbehindfintech.com%2Fsubscribe&amp;v=kFqcNSJVCoQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://techbehindfintech.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69030520</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Dec 2025 18:36:39 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69030520/the_saas_breach_epidemic_why_financial_data_has_never_been_more_exposed.mp3" length="58287888" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Nnamdi Osuagwu</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Join us on Friday, December 5th, 2025, at 12 PM EST for a critical episode of Tech Behind FinTech featuring Brian Soby, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at AppOmni — a 20-year cybersecurity veteran with deep experience across fintech, SaaS,...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Join us on Friday, December 5th, 2025, at 12 PM EST for a critical episode of Tech Behind FinTech featuring Brian Soby, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at AppOmni — a 20-year cybersecurity veteran with deep experience across fintech, SaaS, defense, and enterprise security.

In The Hidden Economy of Points: How 1.4 Billion Points Were Redeemed, Len reveals one of the most overlooked engines in modern payments — the loyalty economy driving consumer behavior, merchant strategy, and financial institution growth. From AI-powered personalization to real-time Pay with Points, Len explains how loyalty evolved from punch cards to a digital currency powering 13% of North American e-commerce.

In The Bitcoin Treasury Playbook: Corporate Finance Meets Crypto, Wilfred breaks down one of the most fascinating shifts in modern finance — the rise of the Bitcoin Treasury Company, where corporations hold BTC as a strategic reserve asset. We’ll explore how balance sheets are being rebuilt on blockchain rails, how volatility can become income, and what “tokenized cash” means for the next generation of capital markets. With experience spanning UBS, Barclays, Securitize Capital, OKCoin, and now MFH, Wilfred has lived through every wave of financial transformation — from structured credit to tokenized equity. In this conversation, he reveals what happens when traditional finance meets decentralized liquidity — and how those who understand both worlds are quietly creating asymmetric advantages.

For years, the payments industry has chased speed and convenience — yet passwords, PINs, and friction-filled checkouts continue to slow consumers down. In Passwords Are Dead: Inside the Biometric Boom Powering Next-Gen Payments, Deepak reveals how facial, voice, and palm recognition are quietly reshaping commerce — turning identity itself into the payment method. With over 27 years of experience and 50+ patents across payments, mobile commerce, and digital security, Deepak shares what it takes to bring biometric identity to scale — from e-commerce to stadiums and drive-thrus — while keeping security, compliance, and user trust intact.

In Blockchain That Actually Works: The Financial Use Cases No One Talks About, Jeff breaks down where decentralized technology is already delivering real value in global finance: national digital currencies, secure identity rails, and faster, more transparent cross-border payments. With three decades of experience building scalable, mission-critical systems — from defense-sector algorithms to some of the earliest digital banking solutions — Jeff brings a rare lens of practicality and scale.

Blockchain has been hyped for years — yet too often stuck in pilots, proof-of-concepts, and whitepapers. In Blockchain That Actually Works: The Financial Use Cases No One Talks About, Jeff breaks down where decentralized technology is already delivering real value in global finance: national digital currencies, secure identity rails, and faster, more transparent cross-border payments. With three decades of experience building scalable, mission-critical systems — from defense-sector algorithms to some of the earliest digital banking solutions — Jeff brings a rare lens of practicality and scale. We’ll explore what it actually takes to move blockchain from the innovation lab to the systems that power the world’s financial economy. Whether you’re a banking leader, fintech innovator, or blockchain skeptic — this conversation will separate signal from noise. <br /><br />What You’ll Learn <br />• The real blockchain success stories already driving value in financial services <br />• Why most enterprise blockchain projects fail to scale — and how to fix that <br />• How technology choices impact security, stability, and compliance at national scale <br />• Why “Proof of Majority” and alternative consensus designs matter for finance <br />• What must change for blockchain to power everyday transactions for billions <br /><br />📧 Stay ahead of industry trends — subscribe to our newsletter<br /><a href="https://techbehindfintech.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">techbehindfintech.com/subscribe</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4287</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>blockchaininfinance,cbdc,crossborderpayments,digitaltransformation,enterpriseblockchain,fintechinnovation,futureoffinance,paymentsinnovation,proofofmajority,realworldblockchain,scalableblockchain,strategicgeneration,stratgen,techbehindfintech,web3infrastructure</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/309bbcd7b0e683c399ba086e20c425de.jpg"/><itunes:season>5</itunes:season><itunes:episode>35</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Embedded Lending Revolution: How Agentic Platforms Are Transforming Credit</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/embedded-lending-revolution-how-agentic-platforms-are-transforming-credit--68285916</link><description><![CDATA[Join us on Friday, October 24th, 2025, at 12 PM EST for an in-depth conversation on Tech Behind FinTech featuring Jon Fry, CEO and Founder of Lendflow, a leading embedded finance infrastructure company empowering fintechs, lenders, and vertical SaaS platforms to build and launch credit products faster and smarter.
