Passguard featured on the Cyber Security District podcast

In a recent episode of the Cyber Security District podcast, Tom Leijte joined the conversation to discuss one of today’s fastest-growing cyber threats: infostealer malware and the rise of stolen session data.

Cyber Security District is an interview-based cybersecurity podcast and media platform focused on the people, technologies, and stories shaping the future of cyber security. The show features founders, CISOs, investors, and security experts sharing practical insights, real-world experiences, and emerging industry trends. The podcast is aimed at both cybersecurity professionals and people looking to better understand the rapidly changing threat landscape.

During the episode, Tom explains how attackers increasingly bypass traditional security controls, including MFA, by stealing active sessions and credentials directly from infected devices. He also shares how Passguard helps organisations identify compromised devices and exposed sessions before they can be weaponised by cybercriminals.

The conversation explores how modern cybercrime ecosystems operate and why infostealer malware has become such a significant threat vector for organisations worldwide. Tom discusses how dark web marketplaces have evolved into highly organised environments where stolen access is traded at scale, often making it easier for attackers to purchase access rather than breach systems themselves.

The interview also touches on the realities of building a cybersecurity startup in a fast-moving market. Tom reflects on the importance of working closely with CISOs and early adopters to better understand operational challenges and develop solutions that address real-world security problems.

The full episode featuring Tom Leijte is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and other major podcast platforms through Cyber Security District.
