The episode centers on the evolving responsibility and risk allocation within cybersecurity distribution, with particular focus on Exclusive Networks' approach. Jason Beal, as president of Exclusive Networks North America, outlines their emphasis on a technical workforce, maintaining a 1:3 ratio of engineers to sales representatives. This structure is positioned to address the increasing complexity of cybersecurity and the demands faced by service provider partners, aiming to support solution integration and customer needs while clarifying each party's liability. Supporting this structure, Jason Beal identifies the role of the distributor as both an extension and enabler for MSPs and IT services companies. Distributors are expected to supplement partners' capabilities—whether technical, financial, or operational—without assuming technology failure risk, which remains with the original technology vendors. Discussion of shared responsibility models also distinguishes between sales success (customer adoption, retention) and risk management. Recent developments in cyber insurance are cited as having reduced the direct risk burden on MSPs, shifting much of the liability away from service providers toward technology creators, albeit within contractually defined limits. Adjacent to cybersecurity, the conversation addresses skill and adoption gaps prompted by rapid technical innovation, specifically referencing artificial intelligence (AI). Jason Beal quantifies educational efforts by highlighting a collaboration with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which has seen 100 students engaged to help address workforce shortfalls in cybersecurity and AI. Additionally, academic experience informs the importance of modernizing IT operations curricula to better reflect current business challenges, such as cloud, AI, and global supply chain impacts. For MSPs and IT service providers, implications include the growing necessity to audit core competencies and allocate resources strategically, leveraging distributors not just for sourcing products but for specialized expertise, integration, and operational support. Risk mitigation remains tied to understanding contract language, vendor accountability, and developments in cyber insurance. The pace of AI and other technology adoption requires continuous education and careful evaluation of both operational risk and the practical limitations of solutions promoted by the channel and distribution partners.

The primary discussion in the episode centers on the increasing risk to data privacy posed by the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) applications within SMB environments. Panelists highlighted the challenge of educating clients on how AI systems may access, process, and transmit sensitive information, sometimes integrating client data into broader training datasets owned by third parties. Specific emphasis was placed on the operational reality that data, once shared with AI models, may no longer be under the original owner's control. This development directly affects both regulatory compliance and client trust, especially for service providers tasked with protecting client environments. Supporting details referenced both technical and procedural countermeasures available to MSPs. Tools such as browser-based security assessments (e.g., Atacama), network analysis at the firewall, and Microsoft 365's built-in security features (Defender and Cloud App Security) were identified as practical resources for monitoring data flow and enforcing restrictions on AI integration. The approach recommended focuses on assessment-driven education—using tangible network data to demonstrate risks and capabilities, supporting MSPs in facilitating more accountable, informed decision-making among clients. Adjacent topics included a workforce transition in the MSP sector, driven by compliance and security requirements. The discussion referenced an industry demographic shift, with a substantive proportion of MSP owners above the age of 55, and many considering mergers or exits rather than evolving to meet new consulting, compliance, and productivity challenges introduced by AI. Additional coverage addressed the impact of AI and data center expansion on community resources (e.g., demands on electrical grids and water supply), as well as divergent organizational responses to emerging consumer technologies such as smart glasses.   Evolve or Exit -  Many MSP's are facing this reality https://mspglobal.com/blog/exit-or-evolve-msp-reinvention-cycle/ Browser based security assessment tool http://www.atakama.com   States moving to require AI to pay for its own electricity. https://www.perplexity.ai/page/states-move-to-shield-ratepaye-0_4v24YTRWGbech52eWGZw   Airforce ban meta glasses while army adopts them.  https://www.perplexity.ai/page/air-force-bans-meta-ai-glasses-KTBzW6_tQom3lJ6XuWNcZg Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cybercrime's escalation has reached a projected $12.2 trillion annual impact by 2031, with a notable surge in remote monitoring and management (RMM) tool abuse—up 277% year-over-year, according to Huntress and supporting vendor reports. Attackers utilize legitimate IT tools to facilitate stealthier ransomware and phishing campaigns, amplifying structural vulnerabilities within MSP technology stacks. Key metrics from Acronis, WatchGuard, and Vectra AI indicate a shift to smaller, more evasive malware campaigns, longer times to ransomware deployment (averaging 20 hours), and widespread unaddressed security alerts, raising questions about the adequacy of current defenses and incident response practices. Vendor-supplied threat intelligence further shows that MSPs' reliance on signature-based platforms and insufficient visibility leaves them exposed to evolving attack techniques. Data reviewed suggests phishing footholds can quickly compromise cross-client environments, and legal ramifications heavily fall on the service provider when RMM or monitoring tools act as entry points. Notably, only about 58-60% of organizations report full visibility across their systems, with a majority of alerts remaining unaddressed, underscoring gaps in operational maturity and preparedness. Adjacent coverage highlighted Microsoft Copilot's repeated security control failures within regulated environments, specifically its inability to enforce sensitivity labels and boundaries across emails—most recently affecting the UK's National Health Service. The lack of vendor-announced architectural changes calls into question the viability of deploying AI tools in compliance-driven contexts. Separately, political and public backlash against surveillance technologies (such as Flock cameras) demonstrates that unchecked data collection is no longer a manageable passive risk, as data becomes increasingly actionable and retains liability beyond technical considerations. The practical takeaway for MSPs and IT leaders is a need to prioritize audit, documentation, and enforcement of controls within their technology stacks, especially where vendor tools or AI-driven automation intersect with compliance and client trust. Preserving operational optionality and scrutinizing vendor terms—particularly data sharing and architectural enforcement—are essential to reduce exposure. Waiting for vendor patches, disregarding documented control failures, or underestimating public scrutiny elevate liability across legal, reputational, and client relationship domains.

Global technology spending is projected to reach $5.6 trillion by 2026, with nearly two-thirds of this investment directed toward software and computer equipment, particularly servers, according to Forrester. Generative AI is cited as a primary driver of this increase, shifting the balance of power toward cloud providers such as AWS and Azure. This escalation has implications for operational margins and the position of IT service providers, as businesses increasingly migrate complex workloads to cloud infrastructure ecosystems.Supporting data shows a disconnect between tech employment trends and hiring activity. In January 2026, technology companies cut approximately 20,155 jobs, mainly in telecommunications, while job postings for tech positions rose by 13% compared to the prior month, based on CompTIA analysis. Dave Sobel interprets this as a shift away from permanent IT headcount to project-based, AI-focused engagements. This development places pressure on service providers, who must adapt to buyers reallocating spend from traditional staffing models to short-term, outcome-oriented contracts.Adjacent discussion covered two press releases: VirtuaCare launched a support offering for Windows-based MSPs needing Apple expertise, delivering an externally verifiable, Apple-certified service. In contrast, Miso announced a roadmap for an autonomous AI L1 technician but did not substantiate claims with deliverables or customer data. Dave Sobel emphasized the need for MSPs to demand piloting, outcome metrics, and auditable product maturity, warning against reliance on unproven AI solutions and highlighting the risk of outsourcing as only a temporary solution.The core implication for MSPs and IT providers is a need for tactical negotiation and operational risk management. Dave Sobel recommends using AI first to reduce internal labor costs before introducing it as a client offering, prioritizing outcome-based pricing and adjusting contracts to retain value from efficiency gains. Providers should avoid becoming displaced labor, rigorously test new technologies before adoption, and remain vigilant regarding vendor claims. The emphasis remains on capturing and defending margins through accountable operations and contract governance rather than chasing speculative innovation.Three things to know today00:00 Tech Spending Hits $5.6T but MSPs Face Margin Squeeze Without AI Pricing Reset05:31 VirtuaCare Ships Apple Support; Mizo Announces Roadmap—One's Testable Today08:17 MSPs Must Capture AI Efficiency Value or Face Margin CompressionThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  Small Biz Thought CommunityCheck out Killing IT

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-thirty-first episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE XO OCT (formerly the BDE S-3 Operations OCT), from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are subject matter experts from one of our infantry battalion task forces at JRTC: CPT Michael Boster is a Rifle Co Commander OCT, SFC John Corpier is an Infantry Platoon OCT, CPT Logan Wilson is the Fires Support Officer OCT for the TF, and MAJ Reed Ziegler is the Executive Officer XO from TF-1 (IN BN).   This episode examines the defense at echelon, focusing on how brigades and battalions design, build, and fight the main battle area (MBA) within the broader battlefield geometry. The panel breaks down the relationship between the security zone, the main battle area, and the brigade rear area, emphasizing that many defensive shortcomings stem from poorly defined boundaries—such as the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA), no-penetration lines, and rear area limits. Leaders discuss how units often conduct map reconnaissance without validating terrain on the ground, resulting in shallow defenses, limited depth (often only 500–1000 meters), and battle positions chosen based on where units culminate rather than where terrain is most advantageous. A recurring theme is that successful defense requires deliberate terrain analysis during planning, early reconnaissance, and continuous refinement between brigade and battalion to ensure obstacle plans, engagement areas, and maneuver graphics are coherent and mutually supportive.    The conversation also highlights common friction points across warfighting functions, particularly the integration of obstacles and fires. Units frequently fail to mass effects, synchronize mortars with field artillery, or prioritize high-payoff targets such as enemy breaching assets during defensive operations. Adjacent unit coordination is often weak, resulting in disconnected company engagement areas rather than a mutually supporting battalion fight. The panel reinforces that effective defense is not passive; it demands offensive action within the defense—shaping fires, clearly defined triggers, deliberate obstacle emplacement, and disciplined reporting. Ultimately, the episode underscores that depth, mutual support, and integration across maneuver, fires, engineers, and sustainment are what transform a static position into a resilient and lethal main battle area capable of stopping the enemy.        Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

//The Wire//2300Z February 9, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: TERROR ATTACKS AND CASH VAN HEISTS STRIKE ITALY. SUSPECT IN POSSIBLE BIOWEAPONS FACILITY IN NEVADA RELEASED BY JUDGE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Italy: Several kinetic events have been reported throughout the nation as the region hosts the Olympic games.In the region of Puglia, a cash transit van was ambushed on State Road 613 (SS613), which involved thieves boxing in a cash van, forcing the vehicle to halt on the highway near a bridge just north of Torchiarolo. Once the vehicle was halted, one team of thieves stopped oncoming traffic while another team conducted an explosive breach of the van. A total of 6x gunmen took part in the attack, and injuries were reported as a result of the explosion and subsequent gunfire, however no fatalities have been reported so far.Other than daring heists on the roadway, more deliberate terror attacks have also taken place over the past few days. Three separate attacks were reported on Italian rail lines, all targeting main lines being used heavily by participants of the Olympics. One switching and control station was set on fire in Pesaro and communication/switching cables were cut on one rail line in Bologna. Adjacent to this site, an IED was discovered emplaced on an undisclosed track (which was found and rendered safe before it detonated).Analyst Comment: Be it gangs of thieves, or the ecoterrorist groups that normally conduct attacks on rail lines, Italy will probably be host to a continuation of kinetic activity, as long as the Olympics bring increased focus (and tourism) to the nation.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Nevada, several more developments have come to light regarding the Chinese-linked biolab (and suspected biological weapons research facility) that was discovered in Las Vegas last week. Over the weekend Ori Solomon, the Israeli citizen who was serving as the property manager of the Vegas facility, was released from jail on the order of Judge Elayna Youchah. As such, it's quite likely that Solomon will be on a plane very soon, that is, if he isn't setting up another bioweapon facility right now. Per the court documents and media reports, Solomon is being portrayed as the innocent Property Manager of the residence, who had nothing to do with any of this. However, this is probably not true. After this cell was discovered and the local ringleader (David He) was arrested, Solomon stepped into a more active role in managing the Vegas biolab. This is strongly indicated by the fact that David He called Solomon from prison 467 times after his arrest. Solomon's job as a property manager gave him both the access and the justification to be at this house daily, checking on the biological experiments that were ongoing at this site. This access also granted him a reason to be in the general neighborhood itself, which is not just residential...several churches, schools, and community centers are all located with a few hundred yards of the residence where highly infections diseases were illegally being stored in containment conditions so poor that the cleaning staff got deathly sick.Concerning others that are involved in this case, the illegal biolab itself was being run out of a residential address that was also serving as an AirBnB facility. Around the time of the raid, customers were staying at this residence, not knowing that a biological weapons facility was being run out of the garage (which was usually kept locked). None of these people have been quarantined, despite confirmed reports of biological materials leaking from this facility, and making innocent bystanders ill. It is also not clear as to if any of the AirBnB customers that stayed at this site over the past year have been contacted to determine if they have unwittingly been infected.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.

A PwC survey of over 4,400 CEOs across 105 countries found that 56% report artificial intelligence has not delivered meaningful revenue growth or cost savings in the past year. Only one in eight organizations saw both benefits. The core issue, as highlighted by Dave Sobel, lies in poor integration—largely due to data quality challenges and legacy systems—leaving many businesses stuck in what PwC terms “experimentation purgatory.” Despite significant investment, AI infrastructure is often failing to produce measurable returns.This lack of operational discipline is mirrored by the rising incident of AI bots, which now account for 1 out of every 50 website visits, a sixfold increase from earlier reports. AI is successfully extracting value from enterprise infrastructure through sophisticated scraping, as companies pay for tools that return little and simultaneously fund infrastructure serving AI bots. The operational cost and exposure from bot traffic and ineffective AI tool adoption highlight the disconnect between hype and practical benefit.Adjacent stories expand on the governance gap and evolving expectations around risk. The U.S. and China declined to sign a non-binding declaration on military AI, underlining global regulatory fragmentation. In contrast, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a binding directive for federal civilian agencies to remove unsupported devices within a year, signaling substantial operational risk from end-of-life technology. These regulatory movements are expected to drive similar risk accountability into the private sector, primarily through insurance requirements.For MSPs and IT service providers, the takeaway is not to chase AI-powered offerings but to prioritize readiness, control, and cost accountability. Vendor partner programs (Cisco and 1Password) reward lifecycle management and customer retention, not AI sales. The practical competitive advantage is operational honesty—delivering realistic assessments, proactive client interactions, and transparent guidance. Automation should fund genuine client relationship activities, not replace them. The focus should remain on safeguarding operational integrity, controlling technology risk, and building customer success capability.Four things to know today:00:00 PwC Survey Finds Most Business Leaders Still Waiting for AI Payoff05:00 Federal Agencies Ordered to Eliminate End-of-Life Devices Over Cyber Threats08:06 Cisco and 1Password Launch Partner Programs Focused on Customer Success10:52 Harvard Business Review Says Human Touch Remains Critical Advantage Over AIThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  Small Biz Thought Community

The primary development centers on the shift toward smaller, task-specific AI models within enterprises and how this shift is primarily about transferring liability from AI vendors to operators. Dave Sobel notes that while narrower AI models are being marketed as safer and easier to govern, the reality is that they shift the burden of control, oversight, and risk directly onto the organizations deploying them. Hidden costs—particularly those related to data infrastructure, compliance, and ongoing governance—are substantial, often eclipsing the initial AI investment.Supporting data includes findings from a Salesforce survey indicating that CIOs allocate a median of 20% of their budgets to data and infrastructure management versus 5% to AI itself. Dave Sobel stresses that the real cost of an AI project can be significantly higher than client expectations, pointing out a 4:1 spending ratio between supporting infrastructure and the AI technology. This underscores the risk for MSPs who may fail to price in the operational and governance requirements appropriately, exposing themselves to financial and compliance liabilities.Adjacent stories address OpenAI's strategic expansion into advertising and direct consulting, marking a move from pure technology platform to direct competitor for services revenue. OpenAI is creating an Ads Integrity Team to manage advertiser verification and reduce scam risk but acknowledges the challenges of maintaining effective controls at scale. In parallel, OpenAI is embedding engineers within client operations—mirroring other internal AI initiatives such as those at Shield and Entegris—and reinforcing a market divide. MSPs who build such capabilities internally capture margin, while others face lasting margin compression as purchasers of external solutions.The implications for MSPs and IT leaders are direct. Success depends less on which AI model is selected and more on the provider's ability to establish rigorous governance, liability management, and ongoing operational control. The market is bifurcating: service providers who can build in-house AI platforms or attract strategic investment will retain efficiency as margin, while those relegated to purchasing third-party tools risk further erosion of profitability and competitive position. The decision to build or buy is becoming a business model risk, not just a procurement choice, and the opportunity to address it is narrowing.Three things to know today:00:00 Firms Shift to Task-Specific AI Models Amid Governance, Liability Concerns 04:35 OpenAI Launches Ads Integrity Team, Hires Hundreds as Services Push Begins08:34 MSP Market Splits as Integris, Shield Build Internal AI, Others Buy ToolsThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  IT Service Provider University

The emergence of Moltbot, an open source AI agent designed to operate across various messaging platforms and automate tasks through local device execution, is creating new risk vectors for MSPs and IT providers. Functioning with admin-level access and connecting to services like OpenAI and Google, Moltbot's deployment has raised direct concerns around authority delegation without sufficient governance. Security researchers identified hundreds of exposed Moltbot instances, often due to misconfiguration, increasing the possibility of breaches and unauthorized data access. The episode underscores that these agents, treated as productivity tools, actually represent operational infrastructure capable of independent action, with potential impacts on client trust and regulatory liability.Expert sources cited in the discussion, including Cisco and Hudson Rock, have labeled Moltbot a security risk due to its storage of sensitive information in plain text and broad access permissions. The narrative warns that vendors and providers may underestimate the risks by normalizing deployment before establishing proper controls. Once these agents are embedded into workflows, reversing their use becomes difficult due to client reliance on perceived efficiency. The lack of mature governance frameworks, as shown by studies from Drexel University, means that many organizations lack even basic oversight of these autonomous agents.Adjacent industry developments highlight additional layers of operational complexity. Apple posted a 16% revenue increase, led by iPhone demand, and acquired Q AI to deepen its ambient automation capabilities, while shifting defaults that providers cannot easily influence or control. Simultaneously, the Linux community's succession planning and Microsoft's ongoing struggles with Windows 11 reliability further demonstrate systemic issues around authority, trust, and transparency in technology ecosystems.The episode's analysis signals clear expectations for MSPs and technology leaders: explicit approval protocols for AI agents are necessary, akin to traditional admin controls. Providers must proactively define governance boundaries, anticipate non-billable labor resulting from automation failures, and assess vendor behavior in terms of roadmap rigidity and escalation pathways. Teaching clients about authority in automated environments, not just managing installations, will reduce exposure and clarify accountability as agentic technologies become standard.Three things to know today00:00 Moltbot's Rise Highlights How AI Agents Are Becoming High-Risk Operators Without Governance03:49 Record iPhone Sales and a $2 Billion AI Acquisition Signal Apple's Long-Term Control Strategy06:04 Leadership Succession, Software Trust, and AI Agents Reveal a Shared Governance ProblemThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  ScalePad

Welcome everybody, to 2026, here at the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast we are very excited to start the year off with a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!   Well.. this announcement is actually something our listeners have been asking for pretty vocally in recent years.. and after much dilberation and calculation.. it actually makes a crazy kind of sense   WHAT THE HELL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?!?!.. lol   Well… I am happy and a bit overwhelmed to let you all know that Myself (Don) and James Daniel Walsh are planning a RE-RETROSPECTIVE look at Woody Allens entire Filmography… yup it's hapeening!   Well… its happening in October 2026 to be precise… why such a long wait.. well, there is a bit of prep work that is involved this time around, including creating a new YouTube channel and maybe even getting a fellow collaborator involved – its exciting on one hand and a bit stressful on the other.   Let's leave it at that for now.. more updates will follow as things develop  we do hope you are happy with this announcement though!   Anyhow… putting that aside FOR NOW.. another year.. another adjacent episode ahoy!     Todays adjacent pick is from James and it is one we have put off for a few months due to one thing or another.. well, todays the day for us to talk about: The Truman Show (1998)   ================================================================   For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:  

In this episode, Andy and Patrick talk about The Wrecking Crew - a nice throwback to 80's action films.

CalmWave is tackling ICU alarm fatigue—a problem where patients generate up to 1,600 alarms per day because clinicians lack data-driven guidance on setting vital sign thresholds. The company processes 32 million data points daily from a single 14-hospital system by fusing high-frequency vital signs from Philips InteliBridge with EMR data from Epic in real time. This represents 10 billion data points annually at current run rate. Ophir Ronen, a sixth-time founder who previously sold to PagerDuty, built CalmWave by applying enterprise IT operations patterns to healthcare infrastructure. The company secured its first comprehensive system-wide agreement within months of launch and now holds 51 patents with 20 more pending as medical device manufacturers pursue distribution partnerships. Topics Discussed Why middleware interoperability is a prerequisite for clinical safety, not a feature  The technical challenge of fusing 10x more data from vitals systems than EMR systems  Building trust through transparent AI that exposes mathematical reasoning to clinicians  Scaling from 7 million to 32 million daily data points across hospital rollout phases  How CalmWave's common signal format enables data scientists to work with clean datasets  Positioning alarm fatigue as a beachhead into broader hospital operations platforms  The innovation investment arm validation pathway for startup enterprise sales  Extending the signals-incidents-events pattern to energy, defense, and manufacturing GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Interoperability becomes your moat when it's a safety prerequisite: CalmWave couldn't provide safe alarm recommendations using only vital signs data without knowing which medications had been administered that could affect those vitals. This forced them to build bidirectional integration with both Philips InteliBridge (high-frequency vitals) and Epic EMR before addressing the clinical problem. The integration layer itself—which normalizes, enriches, and structures data into their common signal format—became defensible IP. Ophir noted that high-frequency vitals data is "erased on a rolling 30-day basis" at most hospitals, making CalmWave's fused dataset genuinely novel. Founders in healthcare or other regulated industries should identify whether data fusion across siloed systems is required for safety or efficacy, then build that integration capability as core infrastructure rather than expecting customers to solve it. Transparent AI sells better than black box AI in clinical environments: When presenting to 30 senior leaders including a notoriously difficult CMO, CalmWave walked through the mathematical basis of their algorithms—demonstrating exactly how they calculate safe alarm threshold adjustments. The CMO stood up mid-presentation and said, "You guys shouldn't even call yourselves AI. This is math and statistics. I understand exactly what you're doing. Well done. This is truly innovative." This validation from clinical leadership came from showing the work, not from accuracy metrics alone. Founders selling AI into risk-averse environments should build explainability into their core product architecture, enabling clinicians to understand why each recommendation is generated rather than treating interpretability as a post-hoc feature. Innovation investment arms provide validation pathways that bypass procurement: CalmWave's breakthrough came when an innovation investment arm from a major health system reached out after three months of due diligence, then placed them in front of clinicians. Two weeks before signing a comprehensive system-wide agreement, they presented to the C-suite. This pathway avoided traditional vendor procurement cycles. The innovation arm acted as internal champion, pre-validating the startup's approach before exposing them to decision-makers. Founders targeting large healthcare systems should identify which organizations have dedicated innovation or venture arms, recognizing these groups are measured on finding novel solutions rather than minimizing vendor risk. Beachhead problems in enterprise must be urgent enough to overcome startup friction: Ophir explicitly chose alarm fatigue because health systems with IT budgets in the hundreds of millions needed "something compelling enough to make them engage" with a startup. ICU alarm fatigue has regulatory scrutiny, patient safety implications, and nursing burnout consequences that create executive-level urgency. The problem was important enough that clinical leadership would tolerate the integration complexity and vendor risk of working with an early-stage company. Founders should evaluate beachhead opportunities not just by market size but by whether the pain point has organizational consequences severe enough to justify betting on an unproven vendor. Adjacent domain pattern recognition creates non-obvious competitive advantages: CalmWave's team came from building large-scale operations platforms at PagerDuty, where they developed expertise in processing massive streaming data, correlating events, and reducing alert noise. They recognized that ICU alarm fatigue followed the same structural pattern as IT operations alarm fatigue—too many alerts without context. This allowed them to apply a proven architectural approach (signals → alarms → incidents → events) to a new vertical where healthcare incumbents lacked that specific systems thinking. One hospital generates 7 million data points daily; their platform now handles 32 million across multiple facilities. Founders with deep operational expertise in one domain should actively map their architectural patterns to adjacent verticals where incumbents haven't solved analogous problems at scale. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode, Andy and Patrick talk about F1

Anthropic's disclosure of model drift within its Claude AI system highlights growing risks surrounding governance and ongoing alignment of artificial intelligence. The company has revised its guidelines using a “Constitutional AI” approach, aiming to instill reason-based behavior and ethical boundaries, and has openly acknowledged that an AI's internal controls may shift unpredictably over time—a concern when models are deeply embedded in business workflows. This admission places attention on governance and accountability rather than just model safety, making clear that the AI a company tests may become materially different after extended deployment, especially as personalization increases.Supporting these concerns, Anthropic's research demonstrated that large language models—including those from Google and Meta—can experience personality drift, with unintended shifts in behavior due to instability of internal control mechanisms. Google's updated AI offerings, tying personal data from Gmail and Photos to generative model responses, intensify challenges around data governance and organizational control. As vendors expand AI personalization and memory features, oversight gaps can emerge, raising questions about who retains authority over information, inference, and decision-making within automated systems.Adjacent findings indicate that the anticipated productivity gains from AI have yet to reach most enterprises. According to surveys cited by Dave Sobel, over half of CEOs report failing to realize ROI from AI investments, while frontline employees describe AI integrations as sources of friction and additional workload rather than relief. In the MSP sector, widespread adoption of “agentic” AI and digital labor is delivering financial upside for some providers, but it is also shifting operational liabilities—especially as contracts and security architectures lag behind new workflow realities.The core takeaway for MSPs and IT service providers is the necessity of reexamining control, authority, and contractual obligations in AI-enabled environments. Delegating tasks to automated agents increases exposure to unpriced and unmitigated risks if governance, liability, and monitoring mechanisms do not adapt accordingly. Effective harm reduction in this landscape requires treating workflows—not just models—as security perimeters, clarifying accountability for AI-driven actions, and ensuring that contractual and operational frameworks reflect these new sources of risk.00:00 AI Governance Moves Center Stage as Models Drift and Personalization Deepen05:08 AI Boosts Executive Productivity While Frontline ROI and Employee Experience Lag07:51 AI Exposes the Real Divide: Governance Failures vs. Effective Oversight in Government Systems10:39 MSPs Chase AI-Driven Margins, but Workflow Security and Liability Define the Real Risk This is the Business of Tech.   

Escalating distrust in identity systems and misuse of AI are forcing a shift in security accountability for small and midsize businesses. Recent analysis highlights that the prevalence of deepfake-driven business email compromise and non-human digital identities is eroding confidence in traditional protective solutions. According to Techyle and supporting reports referenced by Dave Sobel, the ratio of non-human to human identities in organizations is now 144:1, further complicating authority and responsibility for managed service providers (MSPs). As trust in exclusive third-party control disintegrates, co-managed security models are becoming standard, repositioning decision-making and liability.The rise of AI-generated data—described as “AI slop”—has prompted increased adoption of zero trust models, with 84% of CIOs reportedly increasing funding for generative AI initiatives. However, as rogue AI agents are recognized as a significant insider threat, current security services are often ill-equipped to manage these new vulnerabilities. Regulatory bodies, including CISA, have issued guidance noting that the integration of AI into critical infrastructure introduces greater risk of outages and security breaches, particularly when governance remains ambiguous. High-profile vulnerabilities in open-source AI platforms used within cloud environments further highlight the persistence of operational risks.Adjacent technology updates include new releases from vendors such as 1Password, WatchGuard, JumpCloud, and ControlUp. These offerings focus on enhancing phishing prevention, expanding managed detection and response, and automating endpoint management for MSPs. However, Dave Sobel emphasizes that these tools introduce additional layers of automation and integration without adequately clarifying who ultimately holds authority and accountability when failures or breaches occur. There is a consistent warning that stacking solutions or outsourcing core functions without redefining operational control creates gaps between action and oversight.For MSPs and IT leaders, the key takeaway is that security risk is no longer defined by missing technology but by unclear governance, undefined authority, and misaligned incentives. Without explicit contractual and operational delineation of responsibility when deploying AI and automation, service providers are increasingly exposed to liability by default. The advice is to move beyond tool-centric strategies and focus on process clarity: define who authorizes, audits, and terminates non-human identities; establish which parties approve automation actions; and ensure clients understand shared responsibilities to mitigate silent risk accumulation. Four things to know today00:00 TechAisle Warns SMB Security Will Shift in 2026 as Identity Attacks and AI Agents Redefine Risk05:44 AI Moves Deeper Into Critical Infrastructure as Open-Source and Human Weaknesses Expand the Attack Surface09:35 MSP Security Platforms Automate Phishing Prevention and MDR—Outpacing Governance and Control Models12:12 AI-Powered MSP Tools Promise Control and Efficiency, But Shift Responsibility by Default This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/

Hello, Brain Ladlers.  Enjoy this final episode of 2025 with one of our greatest running bits - Davo's Infamous Post It.  Leigh and Albert join forces with the Sensei for a quiz that will test to see if Davo's Post It note actually helped him or not.

Featuring: Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! It is that weird time between holidays, and we are down about half of our folks for various reasons.  We push forward and record a pretty focused show around a few topics.  We start off discussing Q-Up, a game that effectively has a lot of things to say about League of Legends, and also discuss other games like Rabbit and Steel that are themselves commentaries on other games.  From there, Kodra takes Bel to task about Path of Exile II, and mostly how the game seemingly has no interest in making sure you can beat Act 1 with any build and player experimentation.  Thalen has been back in Warframe and attempts to recruit us all to the fold, and honestly…  it is working.  Lastly, we wrap the show with some discussion about the genre that evolved out of MMORPGs…  where the games are far less massive, but still sort of feel like they are a multiplayer experience in spite of only focusing on a handful of players.   Topics Discussed: Q-Up Path of Exile II Still Uninterested in Experimentation Board Games Returning to Warframe The MMO Successor Genre
