What does it take to turn the dream of an autonomous SOC into something organizations can actually deploy? Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, joins Sean Martin to share how the company's AI-driven security operations platform is making that vision a reality. Stellar Cyber serves SOC teams across more than 50 countries, with a primary focus on MSPs and MSSPs supporting the underserved mid-market, though marquee enterprise customers like Canon are also part of the portfolio.How can agentic AI change the way SOC teams handle alert overload? Guha describes what he calls a "digital army" of AI agents that work around the clock to automate alert triage and catch phishing attacks. The system filters 70 to 80 percent of incoming alerts, allowing analysts to focus on the 20 percent that matter most. With attackers using AI to launch faster and more frequent campaigns, Stellar Cyber takes a human-augmented approach, meaning the AI learns from analyst interactions and continuously guides the SOC team toward faster, more accurate remediation.Why does this matter for MSPs operating on thin margins? Guha explains that the autonomous SOC capability layered on top of Stellar Cyber's XDR platform allows MSSPs to serve more customers, reduce mean time to repair, and grow their tenant base without proportionally increasing staff. When MSSPs grow revenue, Stellar Cyber grows alongside them, creating a mutually beneficial model that ultimately means more organizations get protected.This is a Brand Highlight.

In today's Smashi Business Show, Gulf-backed Anthropic triggers a cybersecurity selloff, Lakshmi Mittal expands ArcelorMittal in Sharjah, and the Trump administration advances a proposed civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia.

If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Ende 2014 in Culver City bei Los Angeles. Die Mitarbeiter von Sony Pictures Entertainment - einem der großen Filmstudios der Traumfabrik Hollywood - stehen vor einem Problem: keine Zugangs-Karte, kein Drucker, kein Computer funktioniert mehr. Ein Großteil der Server ist lahmgelegt. Stattdessen findet sich nur eine kryptische Nachricht auf den Bildschirmen, die sie sich nicht erklären können. Erst nach und nach wird deutlich, in welchem Albtraum sich die Mitarbeiter und der gesamte Konzern befinden – und warum sie Ziel eines der größten Hacks der Geschichte geworden sind. Die mutmaßlichen Drahtzieher ist ein Land, das damals sehr wenige auf dem Schirm hatten, das aber spätestens seit dem Jahr 2014 auf dem Radar der Geheimdienste vieler Länder steht: Nordkorea. Wie kann es sein, dass ein Staat, dessen Bevölkerung kaum Zugang zum Internet hat, eine Cyber-Großmacht geworden ist? Welche Ziele hat Nordkorea? Und warum greift es nicht nur Filmstudios, sondern auch Banken und Krypto-Plätze an? Wenn ihr mehr darüber erfahren wollt, welche Geheimdienste es in Nordkorea gibt und wie weit sie gehen, dann hört die begleitende Hintergrundfolge „Wie gefährlich sind Nordkoreas Geheimdienste?” „Dark Matters – Geheimnisse der Geheimdienste“ erzählt die Geschichte einer Hackergruppe, die geduldig, clever und skrupellos vorgeht und sich dabei immer wieder neu erfinden muss. Aber auch die Gegner rüsten auf und wehren sich. Und das ist „Dark Matters”: Eva-Maria Lemke öffnet im Podcast die Tür zu einer Welt, die eigentlich im Verborgenen bleiben soll – Woche für Woche mit einer neuen Geschichte, die zeigt, wie Nachrichtendienste arbeiten. In der vierten Staffel geht es um eine neue Zeit, in der alte Fragen von Krieg und Frieden, von Verbündeten und Feinden nicht mehr eindeutig zu beantworten sind. Wie stellen sich Staaten, Dienste und Agenten darauf ein? Die ARD-Geheimdienstexperten Michael Götschenberg und Holger Schmidt geben Antworten. Eine neue Folge „Dark Matters – Geheimnisse der Geheimdienste” gibt es mittwochs – immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek. Und noch ein Tipp zum Weiterhören: „Tod nach der Disco – Der Eiskeller-Fall“ heißt die neue Folge von ARD Crime Time. In diesem Fall aus Aschau im bayerischen Chiemgau wird ein junger Mann zunächst wegen Mordes verurteilt, aber Jahre später wieder freigelassen und für unschuldig erklärt. ARD Crime Time rekonstruiert die Ermittlungen und Gerichtsprozesse und es geht um das, was bleibt nach dem endgültigen Urteil Ende 2025. Den Podcast gibt es werbefrei in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/eiskeller

Cyber and AI risks are no longer confined to IT departments. They directly impact strategy, trust, reputation, and long-term business sustainability. Yet many boards and executives still struggle to translate technical risk into meaningful business insight. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad about how business leaders can better understand, govern, and manage cyber and AI risks — without getting lost in technical complexity.  During the conversation, we explore: Why cyber risk today is fundamentally a business, trust, and reputation issue — not just a technical problem The most common misconceptions boards and executives have about cybersecurity and AI governance; How AI is expanding organizational risk exposure and reshaping how risk must be managed What non-technical leaders should look for to assess whether their organization is truly resilient; Why trust is becoming a competitive advantage — and how cyber resilience and AI governance directly influence brand value and sustainability; Practical, low-complexity steps organizations can take today to improve accountability, decision-making, and resilience From a leadership and governance perspective, what will separate successful organizations from those that struggle in the next 3–5 years. This episode is designed for board members, C-suite executives, risk managers, CISOs, compliance leaders, and anyone responsible for navigating cyber and AI risk at the strategic level. If you want to move from technical confusion to confident, business-focused risk leadership — this conversation is for you.

Kloiber, Manfred www.deutschlandfunk.de, Computer und Kommunikation

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Zack Schwartz, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Trustifi, joined Doug Green to discuss a critical but often overlooked reality: while AI dominates headlines, email remains the primary attack vector for cybercrime. Trustifi delivers a full-suite email security platform purpose-built for MSPs, enabling easy deployment, centralized management, and advanced protection against next-generation AI-driven phishing attacks. Schwartz emphasized that over 91% of cyberattacks still originate from inbound email—and the sophistication of those attacks has grown dramatically with AI tools. “Cyber criminals are leveraging AI to create extremely nuanced attacks,” he explained. Trustifi addresses this by combining high-efficacy inbound phishing detection with innovative AI-driven training tools. One standout feature allows MSPs to convert a real phishing attack into customized security awareness training, generating targeted video content based on an incident that actually occurred within a customer's environment. A key differentiator is Trustifi's “journal-only mode,” which allows MSPs to deploy the platform without interrupting live email flow. The system produces a full report showing how Trustifi would have responded to threats, creating what Schwartz described as a powerful “aha moment” for customers. According to Trustifi, this approach converts over 80% of opportunities and requires only minutes to set up—at no cost to the partner or end client. Beyond inbound threats, Trustifi also addresses outbound risk and compliance requirements, including HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, and broader data loss prevention (DLP) concerns. Many organizations underestimate how much sensitive information leaves their network via email. “It's a big issue of not knowing what you don't know,” Schwartz said, highlighting how classification and encryption tools expose hidden vulnerabilities. With no minimum requirements, free NFR licenses for MSPs, and strong momentum away from legacy email gateways, Trustifi is positioning itself as a high-margin opportunity within the channel. The message to MSPs: start internally, see the exposure firsthand, and then extend protection across your customer base. Visit https://trustifi.com/

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command stood up a new cyber directorate last August to take a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity across the enterprise. The office is zeroing in on three priorities: speeding up zero‑trust adoption, strengthening secure software practices and bringing cutting‑edge defensive technologies into the fight. For more on why Navwar created the directorate and where it's headed, Federal News Network's Jason Miller spoke with Rachel Bondi, the deputy director for the cyber innovation unit and CTO for mission systems afloat, at the West Conference in San Diego.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Segment, Raghu sits down with Ross Haleliuk—Co-Founder & CEO of a stealth startup, author of Cyber for Builders, and host of Inside the Network and Venture in Security to unpack why most security failures aren't caused by a lack of tools, but by a failure to execute the fundamentals.Ross brings a pragmatic, business-first lens to cybersecurity, cutting through hype, buzzwords, and so-called “silver bullets” to focus on what actually works in the real world. Together, they explore why breaches still happen even in organizations that invest heavily in security and why that investment still matters.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why most cyber breaches still come down to security fundamentals, not next-gen toolsWhy cybersecurity has become a “market for silver bullets”—and what that means for buyers and vendorsHow misaligned incentives across engineering, IT, sales, and security undermine long-term securityWhy compliance should be treated as a baseline, not the finish lineHow to think about security ROI in a way executives actually understandHow to evaluate AI in cybersecurity without getting lost in the hypeWhy security leaders must learn to lead without authority, similar to product managersWhat gives Ross optimism about the future of cybersecurity heading into 2026 

Guest Ty Hughes is a longtime cybersecurity and technology leader in the public sector that champions cyber wellness. He discussed the concept of "AI alchemy" and a "pause, breathe, summarize" framework to help leaders improving clarity under pressure. He framed cybersecurity not as a technical challenge, but rather as a human system under constant cognitive and emotional load. He discussed how burnout, decision fatigue and constant urgency can degrade security performance long before technical failures might appear.

It's the Pure Report annual predictions episode! We welcome Shawn Rosemarin to dive deep into the world of tech in 2026, including a look back at 2025 predictions on AI becoming a strategist, Multi-Cloud 2.0 requiring a unified data platform, and end-to-end security ramping up. Shawn holds himself accountable for last year's bets, particularly noting that the expected "operating model transformation" driven by AI has yet to fully materialize, arguing that many organizations are still grappling with the hard changes to people, process, and technology required for true transformation. Our conversation pivots to what's next, starting with the evolution of AI from simple co-pilots to autonomous agents that will soon become mature process owners capable of completing end-to-end workflows. This shift will require a greater emphasis on verification, changing the industry's focus from time to answer to time to trust (or time to truth) as enterprises build verification stacks to ensure AI accuracy, recognizing that every mistake costs money and customer satisfaction. Finally, Rosemarin forecasts that growing energy scarcity will drive new AI economics, forcing serious programs to run AI like a business system by routing queries to the most efficient models. Furthermore, he predicts that data stops being an asset and evolves to a supply chain, necessitating a manufacturing-like process to refine structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data for uniform consumption by training systems. This new landscape will ultimately punish infrastructure complexity and reward the platform mindset that simplifies operations and removes friction through automation and orchestration.

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake? Valentines and The Rip.In APPS & DOODADS, we test Sennheiser earbuds, mess with Topaz Video, skip a deeply cursed Python script that checks LinkedIn for Epstein connections, and note that autonomous cars and drones will happily obey prompt injection via road signs—defeated by a Sharpie.IN THE LIBRARY, there's The Regicide Report, a brutal study finding early dementia signals in Terry Pratchett's novels, Neil Gaiman denying allegations while announcing a new book, and THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, vibing with The Muppet Show as Disney names a new CEO. We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia Democrats' aggressive gerrymandering of congressional districts, Russia's escalating mischief online and in space, and New Jersey Democrats once again showing how far the party continues to lurch to the left.First, they unload on Virginia Democrats for transforming a fairly competitive state into a convoluted congressional map that could give Democrats control of ten of the state's eleven House seats. Jim and Greg walk through the most absurd district lines and skewer the flimsy explanations Democrats are offering for this blatant power grab.Next, they chronicle the many ways Russia is attempting to meddle with its adversaries through cyber warfare, satellite interference, and other destabilizing tactics. New reports suggest Moscow is targeting Italy during the Olympics and is even floating threats involving a nuclear attack in space aimed at disrupting Elon Musk's Starlink network.Finally, they dissect the surprising results in a New Jersey special congressional primary where a far-left candidate is now poised to defeat a heavily favored, more moderate Democrat. Jim and Greg explain why the upset is another sign that much of the Democratic Party's energy is increasingly aligned with a more radical vision for the country.Please visit our great sponsors:Skip the hassle and book a top-rated doctor in seconds with Zocdoc.
