Moving Minds: Giuseppe Serio hosts Pawel Brzezinski

Pawel Brzezinski has built his career across engineering, software, and cybersecurity, working at the core of how modern vehicles are designed and secured. From early work on embedded systems to leading cybersecurity domains, his journey reflects how mobility itself has evolved.

In this Moving Minds conversation, Giuseppe Serio speaks with Pawel about the realities of securing connected vehicles in an industry that is still catching up to its own complexity.

They explore why automotive cybersecurity remains fundamentally different from IT, how long vehicle lifecycles create persistent risk, and why a single vulnerability can quickly scale across the entire ecosystem. Pawel also shares his perspective on software-defined vehicles, challenging common assumptions and reframing what “software-defined” actually means in practice.

The conversation also touches on the importance of industry collaboration, the role of awareness beyond security teams, and why sharing knowledge may be one of the most underestimated drivers of progress.

This episode offers a grounded, experience-driven look at the challenges shaping cybersecurity in modern mobility, and what it will take to move from reaction to resilience.
