About the show
A cybersecurity podcast for the people who actually run security.
Noise2Signal is a long-form interview podcast about cybersecurity from the practitioner's seat: the founders, engineers, and leaders who built the industry and are still building it. No vendor pitches, and no sponsor reads dropped into the middle of a real conversation.
What we cover
Each episode runs 45 to 90 minutes with someone who shaped a corner of cybersecurity. Topics range across vulnerability management, offensive security, AI in cyber defense, security strategy, and what it actually takes to start, scale, or exit a security company.
It is built for CISOs, security engineers, founders, investors, and anyone trying to understand where the industry is going, and how the people who shaped it made their calls.

Your host
Mehul Revankar is the co-founder of Quantro Security, where he's building AI agents for cyber defense. He has spent two decades building security products, from open-source projects to enterprise B2B platforms, with stops at Tenable, Qualys, and SaltStack along the way.
Noise2Signal grew out of a specific frustration: cybersecurity media is dominated by vendor-funded surface-level content, while the people who actually moved the field forward have stories worth hearing at length.
Why this exists
The cybersecurity industry has a media problem. Most coverage is either breach panic or polished vendor content. The technical reality rarely makes it through: what it actually takes to build a security tool, run a security team, or stop a breach.
Meanwhile, the people who built this field are still here, and they have specific stories about specific decisions: why Metasploit chose port 4444; what convinced the first enterprise customer to move vulnerability data to the cloud; why an integration worked or didn't after an acquisition. That's the show.
