CyberBay Podcast Ep. 3 | Eric Foster - Building TENEX.AI from the Ground Up

Описание: Eric Foster, CEO and founder of TENEX.AI, is building more than a cybersecurity company - he’s building an AI-native defense solution designed to change how security teams operate.

In this episode of the CyberBay Podcast, guest host and Tampa Bay Business Journal reporter Anjelica Rubin sits down with Eric inside TENEX’s soon-to-be headquarters, which is currently still under construction, for a conversation about building from the ground up. Eric reflects on his early fascination with technology, the mentors who shaped his leadership journey, and the pivotal moments that pushed him to launch TENEX.

Together, they explore what it really means to be “AI-native,” how artificial intelligence is reshaping the cybersecurity workforce, and why Eric believes Tampa Bay - and CyberBay - are positioned to play a defining role in the industry’s future.

The CyberBay Podcast is produced by Sarina Gandy, powered by Cyber Florida, and supported by Bellini Capital.
