What’s Really Happening on Fringe Networks and Why it Matters to Corporate Security

The Ontic Protective Intelligence Podcast

Unfortunately in today’s threat landscape, a Google search - even a few pages deep - won’t capture nearly enough information to grasp the risk a company faces. That’s why Welton Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Pyrra Technologies, set it upon himself to go after the content on fringe sites because of the threats that continue to emerge out of these nearly unmoderated social conversations.

Pyrra Technologies is a threat intelligence company that scans unmoderated social media with AI. Most recently Chang was the first Chief Technology Officer at Human Rights First and founded HRF's Innovation Lab. Prior to joining HRF, he was a senior researcher at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory where he led teams and developed technical solutions to address disinformation and online propaganda.

Key topics of Chang’s discussion with host Fred Burton include:

• Inspiration behind developing Pyrra Technologies and his research on disinformation and online propaganda.
• Challenges emerging from generative AI that corporate security will face in 2024
• Advice for corporate security on confronting the lack of trust their audience faces due to the uptick in generative AI online
