What does it take to simplify the chaos of multi-vendor data protection while keeping sovereignty, scalability, and automation firmly in sight? In this episode, I'm joined by Thomas Bak, CEO of Auwau, to explore how his company's Cloud Utility platform is helping managed service providers and enterprise IT teams redefine control and efficiency. I had the pleasure of meeting Thomas at the IT Press Tour, where he shared not only the story behind Cloud Utility but also how Auwau is supporting white-labeling, API-first workflows, and fully integrated billing automation.  This isn't about adding yet another tool to the tech stack. It's about building a self-service-first platform that acts as a single control point for complex, multi-tenant environments. Cloud Utility enables service providers and internal IT departments to operate with greater transparency and agility, from backup and object storage to role-based access and recurring billing. Thomas also opens up about why many customers still demand on-prem deployments, especially in sectors where data residency and control are non-negotiable. His perspective on how service providers can offer branded experiences for resellers while maintaining central governance is especially relevant in today's compliance-driven climate. We also discuss how Auwau's background as an MSP shaped its customer-centric approach to product development, and why flexibility across technologies like IBM Storage Protect, Rubrik, and Cohesity is baked into the product's core. If your business is struggling to scale its data protection offerings or looking for better ways to serve distributed teams and clients, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. How are you future-proofing your infrastructure without losing visibility or control? Let's explore that together.

A significant security breach has emerged involving senior members of the Trump administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hedgeseth, who shared top-secret military plans regarding U.S. attacks on the Houthi group in Yemen via the encrypted messaging app Signal. This breach was uncovered by journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who found himself in a group chat with key cabinet members discussing sensitive information. The National Security Council has confirmed the authenticity of the message chain, leading to calls for an immediate investigation. The incident raises serious concerns about cybersecurity practices within the federal government, particularly regarding the use of unauthorized communication tools for classified discussions.The growing popularity of Signal among federal employees and military planners during the Trump administration highlights a troubling trend of shadow IT at the executive level. This situation poses a challenge for IT leaders, as it undermines established security protocols and sends a dangerous message to lower-level staff and contractors about the importance of adhering to internal policies. If top officials can bypass security measures without facing consequences, it diminishes the perceived value of compliance and accountability across the organization.In response to this breach, experts emphasize the need for stronger cybersecurity measures and accountability for federal leaders. The incident illustrates that policy violations can extend beyond corporate rules into federal law, with potential implications for national security. The lack of consequences for high-ranking officials could lead to a culture of complacency regarding cybersecurity, where employees may view policies as mere compliance theater rather than essential guidelines for protecting sensitive information.The podcast also discusses recent advancements in cybersecurity tools and services, including Microsoft's expansion of its AI-powered security co-pilot and Verizon's launch of a generative AI-powered text messaging solution for small businesses. These developments reflect a broader trend toward operationalizing AI in cybersecurity workflows and enhancing security measures for organizations. As managed service providers (MSPs) seek to streamline operations and improve compliance, the integration of new tools and partnerships is becoming increasingly important in navigating the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and data protection. Four things to know today 00:00 Shadow IT at the Top: War Plans on Signal Show Why Cyber Rules Without Consequences Don't Work05:54 Smarter Security, Faster Replies: Microsoft and Verizon Put AI on the Job for Everyone08:51 Fewer Tools, More Power: MSP Upgrades from Syncro, Cohesity, and MSPTerms Aim to Do It All11:53 One-Stop MSP?

The Biden presidential administration might be winding down but thre are still some things that are making news. Yesterday the president proposed a new framework for the export of chips used to developer AI. The rules seek to limit exports of the chips to some 120 countries, including Mexico, Israel, and Switzerland. The rules appear to be aimed at protecting US national security and the undercurrent in the order is aimed squarely at China. The administration says this is designed to close some of the loopholes in currently existing regulations on chip exports. NVIDIA released a statement calling the rules "misguided" due to the fact that they could impact the largest AI hardware company in the world. This and more on the Rundown.

Blake then unpacks the challenges behind incident containment before diving into Cohesity's recent research, which showed alarming statistics on the number of Australian businesses that have paid ransoms. The pair wrap up the podcast by discussing how businesses must leverage backups in order to ensure business continuity, as Blake explains why backups are a CISO's secret weapon in the war against malicious actors.  Enjoy the podcast, The Cyber Uncut team

In 1848 they found gold at Sutter's Mill in California. According to the CEO of Cohesity, data is the new gold. Today, we sit down with David Kushner from Cohesity to unpack what this “gold” reference means for federal technology leaders. This has always been the case. Today, we see cheap storage, fast Internet, and Generative AI producing an overwhelming amount of data sets. The challenge is how to protect them. This “perfect storm” has not gone unnoticed by federal leaders. If you casually look at a few recent federal mandates, you constantly see a reference to “security” and Artificial Intelligence. ·       White House: President Biden issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence ·       Homeland Security:  Promoting AI Safety and Security ·       OMB:  Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence Cohesity has been in business for over a decade and has garnered a reputation for efficient management of critical assets. We sit down with David Kushner to unpack what these innovations mean for the federal government. For example, we all know that the federal government gets attacked thousands of times a day. We all know the “usual suspects,” but what is starting to happen is malicious code is being injected into backups. It is conceivable that a systems manager could reach for the backups and introduce compromised data into a sensitive data set. During the discussion, David mentions that Cohesity has worked with over three hundred federal agencies in a wide variety of services. In February of 2024, Cohesity launched a search assistant called Gaia. This allows enterprise-level organizations to use Large Language Models and Retrieval Augmented Generation in a manner that complies with compliance mandates. Listen to learn about Gais, backups, and a new world where the data is the gold that is being exfiltrated.   = = = Want to leverage you next podcast appearance? https://content.leadquizzes.com/lp/fk1JL_FgeQ Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com

Welcome to a new episode of the Pitch Cafe Podcast!

This week, Adrian and Tyler discuss some crazy rumors - is it really possible that a cloud security startup valued at over $8 billion in November 2021 just got bought for $200 million??? Some healthy funding for Cyera and Cohesity ($300m and $150m, respectively) Onum, Alethea, Sprinto, Andesite AI, StrikeReady, YL-Backed Miggo, Nymiz, Salvador Technologies, and Simbian all raise smaller seed, A, or B rounds. Akamai picks up API security startup, Noname Security, Zscaler picks up Airgap networks, and it's rumored that Armis will acquire Silk Security for $150M. LimaCharlie seems to be doing some vertical growth, adding its own response and automation capabilities (what they call "bi-directional" capabilities). CISA releases a malware analysis system to the general public. Boostsecurity.io releases "poutine", an open source CI/CD pipeline vulnerability scanner. Some great essays this week, with Phil Venables' Letter from the Future, Ben Hawkes' Robots Dream of Root Shells, and Aileen Lee's 10 year Unicorn anniversary piece. We briefly discuss the 3rd party breach that affected Cisco Duo customers, and the financial impact of Change Healthcare's highly disruptive ransomware incident. Finally, we talk about the latest research on the security of LLMs and the apps using them. It's not looking great.

Have you ever pondered the resemblance between a ransomware attack and a natural disaster? Each can bring operations to a sudden halt, plunging businesses into chaos. But what if our approach to ransomware needs to be revised? In this thought-provoking episode of Tech Talks Daily, I  engage with James Blake, Global Head of Cyber Resiliency Strategy at Cohesity, to explore the necessity of a paradigm shift in business perception and response to digital extortion threats. This episode is not merely an exploration of ransomware; it's a deep dive into rethinking our responses to these digital threats. James argues that ransomware should be regarded with the same seriousness as natural disasters, advocating for a holistic strategy beyond traditional IT security measures. Drawing from his extensive workshops with business leaders and CIOs, he emphasizes the importance of a unified approach between security and IT teams, the critical nature of the initial response to an attack, and the evolving landscape of cyber threats.  The discussion also touches upon the changing perspectives within boardrooms about cybersecurity, the integration of security and IT for effective ransomware response, and Cohesity's innovative approach to data management that empowers businesses against cyberattacks. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in cybersecurity, offering a fresh outlook on how companies can navigate the tumultuous waters of ransomware threats. As we navigate the complexities of the digital age, the strategies for defending against and recovering from cyber threats must evolve. The insights provided by James Blake not only illuminate the path forward but also challenge us to rethink our approach to cybersecurity. With ransomware likened to a natural disaster in its potential to disrupt business operations, it's clear that a new mindset is required—one that prioritizes resilience, preparation, and the integration of technology with strategic planning.

Building a thriving business certainly has a lot to do with hard work, but it's just as much about having a strong network and leveraging those relationships. Today's guest has gathered incredible insights and connections in his long career  to build a platform that facilitates these critical partnerships. Today we sit down with Chad Cardenas, Founder and CEO of The Syndicate Group. The Syndicate Group is pioneering a new evolution of venture capital investing, helping startups scale faster by organizing exclusive investment access for strategics who commit capital, and support a company's go-to-market strategy.With 25 years in the enterprise technology sector, Chad maintains a wealth of experience in sales, leadership, business transformation, innovation, distribution channels, investing and go-to-market strategies. He previously co-founded Trace3 where he served as President and Chief Innovation Officer studying macro trends and their effects in the IT industry. He helped build the tech reseller and integrator to 400 people and over $500 million in revenue before a private equity event in 2017. The Syndicate Group was born out of these experiences based on the realization that startup founders need more than just capital. They need partners who can deliver economies of scale by selling or buying the startups, products, and services. The Syndicate Group aggregates those partners, and gives them skin in the game with pre-IPO investment access.
