In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton sits down with Isaiah Telhado, Senior Cybersecurity Customer Success Engineer at Palo Alto Networks, to explore what cybersecurity success actually looks like. With over 25 years in IT and security leadership across Nestlé, Zscaler, and now Palo Alto Networks, Isaiah has seen firsthand what transforms organizations from vulnerable and reactive to confident and resilient.
You'll learn:
Isaiah shares a powerful case study of a major financial institution that transformed from a devastating data breach caused by misconfiguration to a proactive, cloud-native security posture. The outcome? Incidents dropped dramatically, and the security team's confidence soared—proving security can be a business driver, not a blocker.
Beyond technology, Isaiah reveals why collaboration across IT, legal, operations, and business leadership is essential—and why the best security awareness programs are bidirectional, not just pushing policies onto users. With insights on breaking down silos, measuring what matters, and avoiding common pitfalls that slow security maturity even in well-funded organizations, this conversation delivers practical wisdom for security leaders at any stage of their journey.
This episode is essential listening if you're: implementing Zero Trust architecture, managing cloud migration while maintaining security, breaking down organizational silos between security and business units, struggling to prove ROI on security investments, or preparing your organization for AI-powered threats and quantum computing risks.
