Greyd Conversations #13 -The Hidden Cost of Weak Security: Agencies Best Practices

In this episode of Greyd Conversations, Robert Abela (Melapress CEO) and Wes Tatters (Rapyd Cloud Co-Founder) join Sandra Kurze from Greyd to discuss the hidden costs of weak security and what agencies need to get right when managing security for client websites. They explore why security is never the responsibility of just one person, the most common reasons websites get hacked, and how poor vulnerability management creates long-term risk.
The conversation dives into the realities agencies face when every client expects a different security setup, how to build scalable security processes, and what to do when things go wrong. Robert and Wes also unpack how AI is changing the security landscape - lowering the barrier for attacks while also helping teams understand and manage complexity.
This episode offers practical insights to help agencies move from reactive fixes to structured, resilient security practices.
