The sun is finally out in Boston, the weather is getting warmer, and the scent of burgers can be detected around the neighborhood. Summer is officially here! Today's conversation with true tickets Co-Founder and CEO Matt Zarracina gives us insight into running with a strong early application of a burgeoning technology, in this case blockchain. The idea for leading the ticketing world onto the blockchain came when white-boarding blockchain applications with a subject-matter expert and later getting a call from his friend on exactly the same concept. Once the product vision and a friends-and-family round came together, Matt and his Co-Founders Steven Dobesh and David Piskovich jumped in full-time to make trackable and verifiable event ticketing a reality. Let's catch up with Matt to check in on true tickets's progress to-date. ----- And, while things may be slowing down a bit in the office, the startups of Early Stage have been achieving incredible milestones. - Digital health startup Wellist from Episode 7 just closed a $10M Series A funding round, led by Summation Health, Cedars-Sinai Health System, and .406 Ventures. - Night Shift Brewing from Episode 31 just announced Night Shift Lovejoy, a brand spanking new brewpub on the first floor of Converse's HQ near Boston's TD Garden.

Today's guest, Ernesto DiGiambattista, Founder and CEO of CYBRIC, is helping define a new industry term: DevSecOps. Ernesto and Co-Founder & CTO Mike Kail have been obsessed with figuring out how to bring the security process into development without slowing it down, and CYRBIC is their answer. CYBRIC's security orchestration platform helps developers, DevOps, and security teams apply commercial security testing tools throughout the software development lifecycle. Their platform automatically scans each line of code as it's entered, each build as it's completed, and each push to production -- without any layer of friction. If you're a cybersecurity novice like myself, don't worry, I made sure Ernesto explained some of the tougher concepts a couple times. Oh, and if you like pasta, you'll like our little culinary digression. Enjoy today's conversation with Ernesto.
DevSecOps, it's a thing. While some say absolutely, others say pleee-ase. I speak with Mike Kail, CTO founder of Cybric about how some of the biggest pushback on DevSecOps comes not from the Dev or Ops crowd, but from the security teams. Whats up with that? Are the security team too territorial? Do they relish their otherness? Mike who has a long history including executive stints at Netflix and Yahoo gives us his reasoning.
