In this wholly sponsored Soap Box edition of the podcast Patrick Gray chats with Damien Lewke, the CEO and founder of Nebulock, about the future of threat hunting and detection. Damien spent a decade in the EDR and MDR space before founding Nebulock in 2024. It started off as an AI-powered threat hunt platform but has evolved into a broader security data platform that can answer questions, drive hunts and drive detections. This product is engineered around the idea that a lot of security is a data problem. So, if we accept this premise, how do we solve security? And how much of that solution is about agents, vs building a good graph? And if you’re going to build a good graph, do you want to build it for a person to use, or an agent to use? This is truly a conversation for the security nerd’s nerd. Enjoy! This episode is also available on YouTube Show notes

Soap Box: Using threat hunting to drive detection

Risky Business

Hey everyone and welcome to this Soap Box edition of the Risky Business Podcast. My name is Patrick Gray. For those of you who don't know, each edition of the Soap Box Podcast here at Risky Business Media, it's sponsored, it's always sponsored, and that means everyone you hear in a Soap Box edition of the show paid to be here. And as a further disclosure, today we're chatting with Damian Lukey who is the Chief Executive and Founder of Nebulok, which is a company that I also serve

as an advisor to, which means that I do have a teeny-tiny share options package in the company. So yes, Damian, smart dude. He has worked at CrowdStrike, he's worked at Palo Alto Networks, he worked at Arctic Wolf, so he's worked in the EDR and MDR space for quite a long time. He even worked in the defense industrial base like straight out of college. And yeah, so he's had a front row seat to all sorts of carnage over the last decade plus, and that means he's had a bunch of opinions and ideas

on what sort of security technology we all should be building. So the original pitch for Nebulok was AI threat hunting, right? Which is you can leverage agentic AI, you know, collect a bunch of data and then send these agents out doing hunts. And, you know, Nebulok still does that, but I guess the pitch has broadened now. At customer request, you still start with these sort of hypothesized threat hunts,

but then you can do stuff like build detections based on what you find. You know, Nebulok has sort of become a tool that's very handy for detection teams, and it's also just a great platform for asking questions of.
