Jon McLachlan

Jon McLachlan is a cybersecurity leader, entrepreneur, and co-founder of YSecurity, a company helping startups and enterprises accelerate security reviews, compliance processes, and enterprise readiness.

He focuses on how security, trust, and compliance directly impact enterprise sales cycles—bridging the gap between security teams and go-to-market execution. His work explores practical ways companies can reduce friction in vendor risk assessments, security questionnaires, and procurement processes.

Jon is also the host of The Security Podcast of Silicon Valley, where he interviews founders, engineers, and security leaders on topics such as AI security, compliance automation, and modern enterprise risk management.

At Cyberbase, Jon helps companies streamline security reviews and accelerate enterprise deal cycles by making security a built-in part of go-to-market operations rather than a bottleneck.

Jon frequently collaborates with cybersecurity and AI leaders across the ecosystem, including Cyberbase contributors, to explore how AI is reshaping security workflows and enterprise trust models.
