All Aboard the Innovation Express: RSAC 2025 On Track for Cybersecurity's FutureLet's face it—RSAC isn't just a conference anymore. It's a movement. A ritual. A block party for cybersecurity. And this year, it's pulling into the station with more tracks than ever before—figuratively and literally.In this On Location episode, we reconnect with Cecilia Murtagh Marinier, Vice President of Innovation and Scholars at RSAC, to dive into what makes the 2025 edition a can't-miss experience. And as always, Sean and Marco kick things off with a bit of improvisation, some travel jokes, and a whole lot of heart.From the 20th Anniversary of the Innovation Sandbox (with a massive $50M investment boost from Crosspoint Capital) to the growing Early Stage Expo, LaunchPad's Shark-Tank-style sessions, and the new Investor & Entrepreneur track, RSAC continues to set the stage for cybersecurity's next big thing.And this year, they're going bigger—literally. The expansion into the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts brings with it a mind-blowing immersive experience: DARPA's AI Cyber City, a physically interactive train ride through smart city scenarios, designed to show how cybersecurity touches everything—from water plants to hospitals, satellites to firmware.Add in eight hands-on villages, security scholars programs, coffee-fueled networking zones, and a renewed focus on inclusion, mentorship, and accessibility, and you've got something that feels less like an event and more like a living, breathing community.Cecilia also reminds us that RSAC is a place for everyone—from first-timers unsure where to begin to seasoned veterans ready to innovate and invest. It's about showing up, making a plan (or not), and being open to the unexpected conversations that happen in hallways, lounges, or over espresso in the sandbox village.And if you can't make it in person? RSAC has made sure that everything is accessible online—600 speakers, 600 vendors, and endless ways to engage, reflect, and be part of the global cybersecurity story.So whether you're hopping in the car, boarding a flight, or—who knows—riding a miniature DARPA train through Northridge City, one thing's for sure: RSAC 2025 is going full speed ahead—and we're bringing you along for the ride.⸻

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Kyla Guru, a Stanford University student and passionate cybersecurity advocate. Kyla's journey started at the age of 14, leading her to found Bits N' Bytes Cybersecurity Education. She shares the importance of proactive cyber education, insights from her work with government and private sector organizations, and the role of AI in cybersecurity defense. Kyla also emphasizes integrating security into product development and the significance of grassroots community engagement in fostering cybersecurity awareness. --------“Even with artificial intelligence, we should just think about how our defense in depth, our security posture hasn't necessarily changed that much. It has changed in terms of improvement, but it's a cat-and-mouse game and the threat actors are also improving so we have to adapt. It's not just a one-and-done. ‘I've done my security. I'm done with it. I'm not going to think about it.' It's more so, ‘Okay, can we revise this now that the threat actors are evolving? What can we do to just stay ahead of the needle?' And I think as designers, that's a big thing to think about when you're designing a product is like, ‘Okay, if I build this, if I design this this way, how would attackers try and go around it and what is their next move?”--------Time Stamps (00:43) Kyla's background and journey into cybersecurity(08:28) Proactive approaches to cyber education(11:09) Ways to measure cybersecurity education impacts(19:25) Incorporating the zero trust concept into education(25:53) Importance of secure by design(32:52) Significance of user experience in security(35:29) Day-to-day in threat intelligence(38:21) Addressing common and recurring vulnerabilities(42:39) AI's impact on cybersecurity(47:08) Future of cybersecurity and the human element(49:20) Advice to cybersecurity professionals --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Kyla on LinkedInCheck out Bits N' Bytes Cybersecurity EducationLearn more about GirlCon

Together, they delve into the concept of viewing cybersecurity not merely as a cost center but as a profit center. This innovative perspective is fundamentally altering how businesses approach their cybersecurity investments.Sean Martin opens the discussion by addressing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity. He highlights how traditional views of cybersecurity — such as those held for an insurance policy — are outdated. Robert Fernandes agrees and emphasizes that times have changed; there's a growing need for businesses to leverage their cybersecurity posture as a competitive advantage. He advocates for the proactive use of a robust cybersecurity program to attract clients and secure trust, much like other marketing strategies.Drawing parallels from various industries, Fernandes notes that grocery stores and restaurants don't just sell food; they sell safe and high-quality food experiences. Similarly, automobile manufacturers sell not just vehicles but also safety and comfort. In the same vein, cybersecurity should be seen as an integral part of the product, enhancing its value and appeal to customers. For Fernandes, this shift in thinking can transform a company's cybersecurity program from a necessary expense into a key marketing asset.Fernandes also discusses the importance of breaking down silos within organizations. Effective communication between different departments, such as marketing, operations, and cybersecurity, can lead to a more cohesive strategy where cybersecurity is embedded in the company's culture and operations. This integration can significantly enhance the company's security posture, making it a selling point rather than an afterthought.One particularly intriguing point Fernandes makes is the role of education in shifting perceptions about cybersecurity. He stresses the need to inform and educate stakeholders - from end-users to executives - about the importance of cybersecurity. By moving past buzzwords and misconceptions, businesses can better understand and articulate the value of their cybersecurity measures to clients and partners. Martin and Fernandes also touch on the role of cyber insurance in conveying trust. A robust cyber insurance policy can serve as a testament to the company's strong security posture, further building client confidence.Ultimately, the conversation underscores that by rethinking cybersecurity - from product design to marketing and beyond - businesses can realize substantial benefits. This episode is a must-listen for business leaders looking to turn their cybersecurity efforts into a profitable and strategic advantage.Top Questions AddressedHow can businesses transform cybersecurity from a cost center to a profit center?What are the benefits of breaking down organizational silos in cybersecurity strategy?How does educating stakeholders affect the perception and effectiveness of cybersecurity?___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

Weaver Outrage Meter: Low   North Dakota Announces Mandatory Cybersecurity Education   North Dakota just announced a new educational mandate for grade school students to learn more about cybersecurity. Such a move is not only a smart one, but it is going to have a positive impact on future generations of cybersecurity professionals.   Cyber skills gap acknowledged Good example of government leadership and action Good news for MSPs (and other employers) in the near future   https://www-kxnet-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.kxnet.com/news/state-news/north-dakota-is-first-state-to-approve-required-cybersecurity-education/amp/   MSP Recession Planning   More talk about a recession here in the United States; it seems inevitable that we are headed into, or may already be in a recession. What, if anything, can you do to prepare? Credit tightening will impact service providers, but more so on the reactive side. VARs, system integrators, break/fix companies, these are the types of IT business models most vulnerable to tight credit markets and will feel the financial pain more acutely compared to an MSP with steady, predictable recurring revenue and cash flow.   Historical impact of recessions on MSPs Credit markets tightening, who will suffer most? Can MSPs thrive during recessionary periods?   CaaS dangers MSPs should avoid   Compliance as a Service is getting more attention in the IT channel. With such attention, MSPs (and non-MSPs) are both jumping onto the CaaS bandwagon. But, just as with most things in life, there are right ways and wrong ways to go about developing a CaaS strategy and offering. Here are some helpful tips to get you pointed in the right direction.   Beware of reactive CaaS providers Scanning is not compliance If you've never been through an external organizational certification or audit, CaaS is probably going to be more challenging for you

The cybersecurity industry is facing a massive talent shortage. In fact, Cybersecurity Ventures has predicted that there will be 3.5 million unfilled positions in cybersecurity by 2025.

John Hammond, Senior Security Researcher at Huntress Labs and self-described cybersecurity education enthusiast, joins us as we continue our discussion of red team legends. With a focus on content creation this week, John discusses his success with his YouTube channel, his passion for showcasing authentic and accessible educational materials online, and his advice for creating content safely and spreading awareness with not only a red team or blue team mindset, but with a purple team perspective. Timecode Guide: [01:37] Understanding the impact of content creators in the cybersecurity community, especially when it comes to YouTube educational content [06:58] Becoming a successful YouTube creator through consistently posting hacking content and ignoring the stereotype of “overnight success” [13:28] Combining his role as a cybersecurity educator with his security research at Huntress to explore exploits and have real life experience with what he teaches [16:47] Focusing on the blue side of the house as someone with red team experience, and understanding how to use a tool like PlexTrac to create a collaborative purple team [21:13] Being mindful of the impact he has through sharing this knowledge and understanding the risk of cybersecurity educational materials falling into “the wrong hands” Sponsor Links: Thank you to our sponsors Axonius and PlexTrac for bringing this season of HVR to life! The Axonius solution correlates asset data from existing solutions to provide an always up-to-date inventory, uncover gaps, and automate action — giving IT and security teams the confidence to control complexity.

Head to PlexTrac.com/HackerValley to learn more about the platform and get your copy today!   What is your origin story for wanting to educate other hackers? Like many of us, John started his journey Googling how to become a hacker. As he gained more knowledge about the specific skills involved in hacking, John never left the internet behind, always seeking out videos and articles explaining new and emerging content. Inspired by those who created that content in the first place, he started his own YouTube channel, simply titled John Hammond, as has spent years cultivating a consistent hacker audience. “Along the way, creating content and helping educate others through YouTube is really my main stage platform and has been just a passion project, a labor of love, and something fun along the way.”   What feelings do you get looking back on the YouTube content you've created so far? John prioritizes clarity, transparency, and honesty in what he does, and he's not afraid to show some humbleness, too. Overall, John is thankful for his YouTube success and the impact it had on the cybersecurity community. No matter what he's showing in his videos, he prefers to keep things honest, to show where he's made mistakes, and to accept criticism and advice from other hackers and offensive cybersecurity professionals that see his work. “I'm showcasing just my computer screen, maybe you get a little face cam and a circle on the bottom right, but it's like you're looking over my shoulder. You're seeing me showcase something raw, live, genuine, and authentic…It's not all sexy, there's a lot of failure in hacking.”   Have you ever considered focusing on the blue team or the defensive side of cybersecurity? The majority of John's YouTube content and the work he does in his role at Huntress Labs heavily involves the red team and offensive side of cyber. However, John is a huge advocate for the blue team and the red team collaborating and communicating better. Through making more concepts in cybersecurity accessible through educational content like John's own videos, he hopes we can continue to bridge the gap and achieve that perfectly mixed purple team. “We're all playing in concert. As one team sharpens their skills in the red team pen test, then it's up to the blue team to figure that out. What did they do? How can we better detect it? How can we stop and mitigate that security threat?”   What advice do you have for red team content creators that want to share content and spread awareness safely? With the impact that he's had and the content he's put out onto the internet, John is no stranger to seeing the negative side of cybersecurity knowledge being more accessible than ever before.   Still, he wants to make sure content creators understand the value of transparency and honesty in what they do. Instead of fearing what could be, cultivate a community around making this level of knowledge and security available to everyone. “Share, be transparent, be forthcoming. I know there are a lot of conversations about gatekeeping in cybersecurity, but there shouldn't be that. I understand there's grit and determination and hard work to do all the things that you're doing, but be friendly and be transparent and honest.” ---------- Links: Check out our guest, John Hammond, on YouTube and LinkedIn.
