Security Architecture Podcast: Securing Tomorrow

Dune Security Co-Founder and CEO David DellaPelle appears on the Cyber Inspiration Podcast to share the story behind founding Dune Security and the company’s mission to prevent insider threats and AI-powered social engineering. He explains why “Dune” means fortification, how employee error remains one of the most persistent causes of breaches, and why reducing user-layer risk is essential alongside technical defenses.

David also reflects on building a mission-driven company, from assembling a world-class CISO advisory council and securing early funding, to shaping culture, hiring A-players, and executing with speed. The conversation highlights both the vision and the practical realities of scaling a cybersecurity startup in an AI-driven threat landscape.
