Unpatched Ep.04: Startups, Sovereignty & AI Attacks – with DonDaddy & AJ Nawani

Most founders think they’re “too small to be a target.” SharkStriker CEO Ajay Nawani sits down with DonDaddy Kyeremateng, founder of MacDon (Ghana), to unpack why AI has made startups the easiest target and how founders can build real security, data sovereignty, and trust without an enterprise budget.

In this episode:

• Why “too small to be targeted” is the most dangerous belief a founder can hold
• Wha DonDaddy’s insurance background taught him about data flow, audit trails, and blind spots
• How AI-powered deepfake voice and video attacks exploit junior employees
• Why cybersecurity has to be a company-wide responsibility, not just an IT problem
• Why security should come before compliance — not after
• What true data sovereignty looks like for a startup built outside the US/EU
• The real cost of a breach — and why it’s never just a dollar figure
