Editorial take
A focused interview show for detection engineers and SOC leads. Panther founder Jack Naglieri talks with heads of detection and response at companies like Google, Block, Snowflake, Robinhood, and Salesforce, usually for 25 to 40 minutes. The recurring themes are detection as code, security data lakes versus traditional SIEM, alert volume, and since 2025 how AI agents fit into triage. Guests are senior and specific, which makes it good for anyone designing a detection program. Two caveats: Panther sells a SIEM and the framing tracks its worldview, and the cadence has slowed sharply, with one episode since February 2026.

Listen if you …
- are a detection engineer or SOC lead building a detection-as-code practice
- are weighing a security data lake against a classic SIEM
- want to hear how large cloud-native companies structure detection and response teams
Skip if you …
- you want a steady weekly feed, only one episode has aired since February 2026
- you are new to security operations, guests assume SOC experience
