Space, Defence, & Security podcast

What if the greatest threat to your organization wasn’t outside its walls, but already inside?In this gripping episode, we sit down with Gina Bennett, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counterterrorism analyst whose career includes tracking Osama Bin Laden’s network long before 9/11. Together, we peel back the layers of Insider Risk Management, exposing why it’s not just a government or defense problem anymore, it’s a critical threat across law enforcement, casinos, healthcare, tech startups, and beyond.Gina shares raw insights on why insider threats are often rooted not in ideology or greed, but in something far simpler—and far more dangerous: a lack of belonging. She reveals how organizations can build cultures that actively disarm insider threats before they ever take root.We dive deep into the psychology of betrayal, explore how espionage, counterterrorism, and insider risks intertwine, and hear firsthand stories from high-stakes operations that shaped global history. Gina also introduces her groundbreaking Hunter-Gatherer Security Theory, reshaping how we think about human security, cohesion, and resilience in a fractured world.Whether you’re a national security professional, a startup founder, or simply curious about what makes spies and traitors tick, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.About Access Hub's B2B Online Marketplace:Access Hub's online marketplace is the world’s only B2B online marketplace, designed to seamlessly connect suppliers and buyers across six pivotal industries: Aviation & Aerospace, Climate Tech, Defense, Maritime, Media & Broadcasting, and Space Technology.
