Soper's
SCIF

Soper's SCIF is where real conversations happen.

Every episode, I sit down with leaders who are actually in it; executives, innovators, advocates, and operators from every corner of industry to talk honestly about what they're building, what they're fighting, and what they see coming.

From AI and geopolitics to human rights and emerging technology, the topics shift. The standard doesn't… just candid, unfiltered perspectives from people doing work that matters.

If you're curious about how the world actually works and the people shaping it, you belong here.

Stuxnet, Critical Infrastructure & the AI Moment
With Chris Roche, Partner, CI-Discern

Chris has spent more than two decades where technology meets the world’s most critical systems: CISO at GE during the industrial IoT wave, security leadership at NextEra Energy, managing director at EY, and today a partner with CI-Discern. We talk about the Stuxnet watershed and what it meant for product and OT security, how boards are asking about AI governance, geopolitics and supply chains, and why cyber leaders still compare notes across companies that look like rivals on paper.
