In this episode, the Inverted Podcast dives deep into the unconventional world of cybersecurity with special guest Olivier Martinet, Chief Information and Security Officer of TX Group—the largest private media group in Switzerland. Hosts Jeroen, Dario Salice, and Dana Kaufman explore how TX Group balances modern security practices with the unique demands of a media organization, from protecting critical infrastructure to embracing digital transformation.
Discover why Olivier Martinet aims to make his company “unattractive to hackers,” focusing on detection and rapid response rather than strict prevention. The episode covers TX Group’s journey to passwordless authentication, adaptive MFA, and cloud-first strategies, as well as their approach to training journalists for safe exploration of the dark web.
The conversation also tackles controversial decisions, such as investing in defense over cyber insurance, collaborating with competitors for industry-wide security, and managing supply chain vulnerabilities in ad networks. Learn how TX Group turns security incidents into opportunities for transparency and trust, and why the ultimate metric is damage containment rather than incident count.
