  Mehmet Ince - Omarcy Security Team 04.09.2026 46мин

  In the first episode of Omarchy Stories, I'm joined by Mehmet Ince from the Omarchy Security Team. We talk about how he found his way into cybersecurity and what still draws him to vulnerability research — the kind of work where you keep digging until something gives.Mehmet shares what his role on the security team looks like and how the team works internally: how closely they collaborate, and how much learning happens along the way. We get into the impact of AI on vulnerability research, open source culture, and how vulnerabilities get reported — including what it means when one of them hits the entire Linux ecosystem.From there we look at the particular challenges in the Postgres ecosystem, the wider cybersecurity landscape, and Mehmet's view that security is above all a path of learning and exploration that never really ends.We close on what makes Omarchy what it is — the innovation coming out of the community, and the excitement and engagement behind it.Omarchy Stories — the podcast from the community, for the community.TakeawaysPassion for cybersecurity from a young ageImpact of AI on vulnerability research Open source culture fosters contributions to the Linux ecosystem.Vulnerability research in the Postgres ecosystem presents security challenges.https://x.com/mdisechttps://mehmetince.net/part-1-6-systemic-risks-in-the-managed-postgresql-industry-extension-risks-are-real-exploiting-postgis-memory-corruption-bug-at-neondb-supabase-and-many-more/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Cybersecurity01:01 Early Years and Passion for Cybersecurity02:15 Professional Journey in Cybersecurity03:15 Exploring Linux and Vulnerability Research04:18 Joining Omarchi and Security Team05:35 Impact of AI on Vulnerability Research15:49 Internal Workings and Reporting Process21:33 Collaboration and Learning in the Team23:54 Open Source Culture and Dependencies24:53 Vulnerability Reporting and Mitigation25:50 Contributions to the Linux Ecosystem26:56 Rapid Decision-Making and Experience28:34 Vulnerability Research in Postgres Ecosystem29:56 Challenges in Postgres Ecosystem Security31:23 Cybersecurity Landscape and Impact33:58 Getting Started in Cybersecurity37:24 Journey of Learning and Exploration39:33 Community Innovation and Excitement42:36 Omachii Culture and Community Engagement
