David Moulton: On Storytelling, Cybersecurity, and Why Story Moves Business Forward


In this bonus episode of 7 Minute Stories Presents: Storytelling University, Aaron Calafato sits down withDavid Moulton⁠ to explore the unexpected intersection of storytelling and cybersecurity.

At first glance, cybersecurity feels purely technical.

But underneath it? It is a story as old as time.

As Senior Director of Content and Thought Leadership at ⁠Palo Alto Networks and host of the ⁠Threat Vector⁠ podcast, David works at the center of how complex cybersecurity ideas are translated into stories that leaders, teams, and organizations can actually understand and act on.

He breaks down how storytelling transforms invisible threats into something tangible, helping influence decisions from the SOC to the C suite. From product strategy to executive communication, this conversation reveals how narrative becomes the bridge between technical reality and human behavior.

You will hear:

  • Why cybersecurity is fundamentally a human story, not just a technical one

  • How storytelling helps organizations make better decisions under pressure

  • The difference between facts that inform and stories that move people

  • A powerful framework for telling effective stories in business
