Could your organization produce a complete record of everything its AI systems accessed, sent, or shared within one business day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome Tim Freestone, Chief Strategy Officer at Kiteworks, back to the podcast for his third appearance. Our conversation centers on the company's 2026 Data Security and Compliance Risk Annual Survey and the difference between buying security technology and being able to demonstrate that sensitive data is properly controlled. According to the Kiteworks research supplied for this interview, 80 percent of surveyed organizations experienced at least one security or AI related incident during the previous 12 months. Half could not produce a complete AI data access audit record within one business day. The strongest group recorded an average readiness score of 46 out of 100, while organizations with weaker security and AI governance averaged eight. Even the higher score leaves considerable room for improvement. Tim argues that technology spending can produce a larger version of the same exposure when a company lacks the people, ownership, and operating model needed to manage what it has purchased. Network, cloud, and infrastructure security still matter, but the business ultimately needs to understand what is happening at the data layer. Which identities can access a system? What actions can they take? Which records can they read, change, send, or share? We discuss why this has become harder as employees create large numbers of AI agents. A company may have 1,000 people and tens of thousands of nonhuman identities, each requiring permissions and oversight. Tim describes three connected control planes covering identity, actions, and data. Together, they offer leaders a practical way to assess whether an agent can reach information it should never see or perform an action it was never meant to take. The conversation also examines audit evidence. Tim says businesses should map regulated data types to the controls governing their use and then connect those controls with reporting. Without that connection, answering an auditor may require months of work, large consulting bills, and teams manually assembling records from disconnected systems. Ownership remains difficult because security, compliance, infrastructure, and data governance teams often work separately. Tim's view is that the CEO must orchestrate responsibility when the board is asking AI to produce higher productivity while the same systems create new data risk. That position may feel demanding, but it exposes an issue many leadership teams still need to settle: who owns the consequences when an AI agent exposes or transforms sensitive information? For board members, Tim offers two direct tests. Ask for a clear account of the company's data controls, then ask who is responsible for the associated risk. If those answers require a long explanation or several departments pointing at one another, the readiness score may matter less than the inability to demonstrate control. How quickly could your organization show who or what touched sensitive data, and who would be accountable if the record were incomplete? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts.

In this session of UC Today, host Kristian McCann sits down with Simon Peters, Director of Channel Sales at Smarsh, to unpack one of the most pressing questions facing regulated industries in 2026: Is your compliance solution really secure — and is its AI even compliant?It's a wake-up call for compliance, risk, and IT leaders who assume ticking the compliance box equals airtight data protection. As global fines for compliance and data breaches continue to climb — including over $63 million in penalties in early 2025 alone — this conversation exposes the two blind spots most organizations still overlook.Peters explains how compliance and security aren't interchangeable, why third-party AI models can create new compliance gaps, and how Smarsh has built “compliant AI by architecture” — keeping all data, transcripts, and analysis inside customers' own sovereign environments.Key discussion points include:

In this final episode of the Events Demystified seven-year anniversary miniseries, host Anca Platon Trifan explains that “shadow AI” is often ordinary employees using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, or browser extensions to work faster, unintentionally creating data paths outside company controls. She argues shadow AI reflects both employee responsibility and leadership gaps, citing Verizon's 2026 DBIR data on rising AI use, unauthorized services, and common exposed data types like source code. The episode covers AI security best practices: clear data classification with real examples (especially for events), minimum-necessary data sharing, risks from extensions and excessive agent permissions, the need for limited autonomy, auditability, a kill switch, vendor and integration due diligence, transparent monitoring, and safe incident reporting. Trifan shares a Bill.com virtual card fraud experience and closes with questions leaders should ask and a podcast break until September.

What happens when a longtime facility manager steps beyond the built environment to help reshape it through technology? In this episode of Connected FM, host Brent Ward welcomes Billy Holder, Founder & CEO at Project Aidra, for a conversation about digital transformation, AI and the evolving role of facility management in a technology-driven world. Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience in facility management, Billy shares how recurring operational frustrations led him from the FM field into the PropTech space. He discusses why documentation overload, disconnected systems and inefficient workflows pushed him to search for smarter solutions powered by AI and automation. The conversation explores how facility managers can use technology to augment the workforce instead of replacing it, why human connection still matters in smart buildings, and what organizations should consider when evaluating PropTech platforms and AI-enabled tools. Whether you are a facility manager navigating digital transformation or simply curious about where the built environment is headed next, this episode offers practical insights into the future of FM and the people shaping it.

Colorectal cancer is now the #1 cancer killer in Americans under 50 — and roughly 60% of cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV. What if your toilet could spot the earliest sign years before symptoms?Robert Lufkin MD sits down with Scott Hickle, co-founder and CEO of Throne Science, to talk about the first AI-powered smart toilet — a hands-free, daily monitor that detects fecal occult blood, tracks gut microbiome shifts, measures hydration and prostate health via sonouroflowmetry, and uses AI to coach behavior change. We unpack why your waste is the richest health signal you currently ignore, the Warren Buffett car-sensor analogy for continuous health monitoring, the 46% hemorrhoid risk from phone use on the toilet, and Throne's 10-year vision to be the first alarm system for cancer.CHAPTERS00:00 — Introduction01:14 — Meet Scott Hickle: From Mechanical Engineer to Smart Toilet CEO03:00 — How a Call With His Mom Sparked the Throne Idea05:02 — Why Your Waste Is the Richest Health Signal You Ignore07:02 — How Modern Plumbing Made Stool Analysis Taboo10:02 — Fecal Occult Blood: The Earliest Sign of Colorectal Cancer13:02 — Why Colorectal Cancer Is Now the #1 Cancer Killer Under 5014:30 — The Warren Buffett Car Sensor Analogy for Continuous Health Monitoring16:03 — Throne vs Gut Microbiome Tests: A CGM for Your Gut18:03 — Stress Is the #1 Driver of Gut Health (And Other Self-Experiments)22:04 — The 46% Hemorrhoid Risk From Phone Use on the Toilet24:04 — How the Throne Hardware and AI Software Actually Work27:00 — Sonouroflowmetry: Measuring Prostate Health From the Sound of Your Pee29:05 — Privacy, Data Security, and Camera Placement31:05 — Medical Advisors, Clinical Studies, and FDA Pathway34:06 — The AI Gut Health Coach and Behavior Change37:06 — The 10-Year Vision: A First Alarm System for Cancer40:07 — Where to Pre-Order Throne (thronescience.com)KEY TAKEAWAYSColorectal cancer is the only top-five cancer whose mortality has risen every year since 2005 — and it's now the #1 cancer killer in Americans under 50.Polyps take 7–10 years to become tumors. Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers we know how to cure before it becomes cancer — but only 3–6% of people return the at-home FIT test.Visible blood in stool requires 40,000–50,000 µg of hemoglobin per gram. The FIT test detects 10–20 µg/g — about 8,000× more sensitive than what your eye can see.A single bleed could be a hemorrhoid or food poisoning. A monotonic four-to-six-month rising trend is the pattern that signals colorectal cancer — and you can only see patterns with continuous monitoring.Stress is the #1 driver of gut health in Scott's own n=1 self-experiments — bigger than any food, supplement, or fiber intervention he's tried.Sitting on the toilet with a phone for more than 5 minutes is associated with a 46% increased risk of hemorrhoids (Inan et al., PLOS One 2025).STUDIES & SOURCES MENTIONEDAmerican Cancer Society / JAMA, January 2026 — Cancer mortality decline under 50 — https://pressroom.cancer.org/under-50-mortality-declinesInan et al., PLOS One 2025 — Smartphone use on the toilet and hemorrhoid risk — https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40901789/Scott Hickle, TEDxBoston — "The History and Power of Poop" — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v42gznW6cuADr. David Rubin, MD, University of Chicago (Throne medical advisor) — ⭐ Enjoying the show?

Send us Fan MailYour firewall can be patched tomorrow, but what about the place your system hides its real secrets today? We start with a timely warning about a serious Fortinet FortiGate vulnerability and why perimeter devices are still a make-or-break control, then we pivot into the deeper layer most people ignore until it's too late: memory.We walk through CISSP Domain 3.4 by focusing on what memory protection is actually trying to achieve: confidentiality, integrity, and process isolation. From there, we unpack how modern operating systems enforce separation with paging, segmentation, and strict read, write, execute controls. You'll hear why Meltdown and Spectre were such a big deal, how speculative execution can leak passwords and encryption keys from privileged memory, and why patching decisions are never just “apply everything” but a risk-based vulnerability management call that depends on visibility into what you run.Next, we connect memory protection to virtualization security. We break down hypervisors, guest and host isolation, Type 1 versus Type 2 designs, and the threats that keep security teams up at night: VM escape, side-channel leakage through shared CPU resources, and the operational hazards of memory overcommitment. Then we bring in hardware roots of trust through TPMs: secure boot, measured boot, key storage for full disk encryption, TPM 2.0 types, and how HSM-style key management shows up in cloud environments. We close with practical best practices, from firmware and microcode updates to choosing encryption controls that fit your actual risk.If you're studying for the CISSP or building a real-world security strategy, subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review so more security pros can find it.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!  Don't miss this valuable opportunity to strengthen your CISSP exam preparation and boost your chances of certification success.

Send us Fan MailYour security program can be airtight and still get wrecked by someone else's breach. We open with a Wired-style reality check: third-party app ecosystems and data brokers collecting location analytics at massive scale, then getting hacked or resold in ways your users never expected. If your organisation issues mobile devices, this is where security awareness, MDM controls, and clear “don't allow tracking unless required” guidance stops being a nice-to-have and starts becoming risk reduction.From there, we dig into CISSP Domain 2.3: provisioning resources securely, with the mindset of a senior security professional. We walk through information ownership versus asset ownership, why “IT owns the data” is often the wrong answer, and how classification (public, internal, confidential and beyond) drives least privilege and need-to-know access. We also cover the practical friction points: owners who don't realise they're owners, systems spread across teams, and the need to document decisions so risk acceptance is explicit instead of accidental.We then connect the dots across asset management, configuration management systems, and modern cloud operations. Expect talk on lifecycle tracking, secure disposal, rogue devices and shadow IT, plus the unique headaches of virtual sprawl, snapshots, tagging, data residency, and the cloud shared responsibility model. If you're studying for the CISSP exam or trying to run a cleaner security programme at work, you'll leave with a clearer map of what to inventory, who to hold accountable, and which controls keep resources from drifting into chaos.Subscribe for weekly CISSP-focused training, share this with a teammate who manages cloud or endpoints, and leave a review with the hardest “ownership” problem you've seen in the wild.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!  Don't miss this valuable opportunity to strengthen your CISSP exam preparation and boost your chances of certification success.

I'm sitting down with Jonathan Ronzio, who scaled Trainual from an idea to $30M ARR—while building a company known for its culture and still finding time to climb mountains, run marathons, and live a full life outside of work. What stood out to me in this conversation is how intentional he's been about building systems—not just in the business, but in his life. We talk about why most founders document the wrong things early, how structure actually creates freedom, and how AI is completely reshaping how companies build, sell, and operate. We also get into how he thinks about balance versus alignment, what changes (and what doesn't) after raising capital, and why the most defining moments in business are usually the ones you never planned for. If you're trying to scale without becoming consumed by your business, there's a lot here worth paying attention to.

In the Elixir Wizards season 15 premiere, host Charles Suggs is joined by Holden Oullette, Senior Security Software Engineer at Netflix and maintainer of Sobelow, to talk about how security is evolving in the Elixir ecosystem. We discuss how certain features of the Elixir programming language (like functional patterns and server-side rendering) provide natural immunity against some common vulnerabilities, and what that means as the language continues to grow. Holden shares how tools like Sobelow are adapting and how new technologies like LLMs and Elixir's type system may help to strengthen security practices. We cover supply chain risks, ecosystem-level responsibility and reputation management, and how initiatives like AEGIS are prepping the community for more widespread adoption. We wrap with practical tips for teams to be more security-minded throughout the software development lifecycle without slowing everything down. Key topics discussed in this episode: How Elixir's design influences secure-by-default development Security tradeoffs between server-side and client-heavy architecture Supply chain risks and what the ecosystem is doing to prepare Static analysis with tools like Sobelow and AST-based pattern matching Where LLMs fit into modern security workflows The role of Elixir's upcoming type system in improving tooling Securing CI/CD pipelines and production environments Balancing development speed with security requirements Dependency management and vulnerability monitoring The AEGIS Initiative and ecosystem-wide security efforts Links mentioned: Holden's GitHub https://github.com/houllette Elixir Programming Language https://elixir-lang.org/ Security-focused static analysis for the Phoenix Framework https://github.com/nccgroup/sobelow Code Security for Builders https://semgrep.dev/ Erlang Ecosystems Foundation https://erlef.org/ Phoenix Framework https://www.phoenixframework.org/ WebSockets https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveView.Socket.html https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API Open Worldwide Application Security Project https://owasp.org/ https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto Log4j Vulnerability https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/log4j-vulnerability-what-everyone-needs-to-know React2Shell Vulnerability https://www.finra.org/guidance/guidance/cybersecurity-advisory-react2shell The Heartbleed Bug https://www.heartbleed.com/ Elixir Type System https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.html Holden Oullette “Securing the Future: A Roadmap to Making Elixir the Safest Language” ElixirConf 2024 https://youtu.be/gpvKxS6sY8Y Aegis Initiative: Supply Chain Security & Compliance Initiative https://security.erlef.org/aegis/ OIDC Tokens https://openid.net/ Anthropic's Claude Mythos & Cybersecurity https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ Igniter Code Generation Framework https://github.com/ash-project/igniter https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s13-e01-igniter-code-generation-zach-daniel/ Secure-by-default open source software https://www.chainguard.dev/ https://www.docker.com/ https://github.com/dependabot https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigatewayv2/latest/api-reference/apis-apiid-models.html https://nixos.org/ https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s14-e08-nix-for-elixir-apps/ https://fedoraproject.org/ https://kubernetes.io/ https://netflix.github.io/chaosmonkey/ https://netflixtechblog.com/all?topic=chaos-monkeySpecial Guest: Holden Oullette.

The race for AI dominance has created a dangerous imbalance between business velocity and cyber resilience. In this episode, host Caleb Tolin is joined by Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs, and Staff Security Researcher Amit Malik to break down the findings of their latest report on agentic adoption. The discussion centers on the Agentic Paradox. This is the technical reality that tools designed to automate high-level tasks are inherently built to find the most efficient path around obstacles, including existing security policies. A primary focus is implementing a three-layer framework for AI Operations. This model targets the Tool Layer, where agents interact with databases; the Cognitive Layer, which serves as the LLM brain; and the critical Identity Layer. The conversation explores stories in which agents, without malicious intent, have caused catastrophic data loss simply by following an optimized logic path. These instances prove that agents need not be sentient to be destructive when they lack proper human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Technical hurdles of Identity Resilience are also addressed, specifically the explosion of non-human identities that spin up and down like elastic cloud infrastructure. The episode examines the fear index regarding job security, noting that 92% of leaders fear for their roles post-breach. Joe and Amit join Caleb to explore the evolution of personal liability for CISOs and the urgent need to move from basic visibility to deep observability. This is a forward-looking briefing for leaders who recognize that, in an era of autonomous routines, the human must remain the ultimate command-and-control center. What You'll Learn Define the agentic paradox to understand why AI efficiency naturally compromises traditional security guardrails. Implement a three-layer framework to secure the tool, cognitive, and identity components of AI. Transition from basic visibility to deep observability to track autonomous decision-making in real time. Mitigate prompt injection risks by auditing the input and output flows of the cognitive layer. Utilize ephemeral containers to sandbox agentic tools and prevent unauthorized database alterations. Manage the elasticity of non-human identities to maintain control over rapidly spinning AI agents. Anchor AI operations with human-in-the-loop checkpoints to ensure integrity during high-stakes executions. Episode Highlights Defining the Agentic Identity and Autonomous Routines Revenue vs. Resilience: The Drivers of AI Urgency The Three-Layer Framework for Agentic Defense Shadow AI and the Rise of Invisible Insider Threats The Context Gap: Why Rolling Back AI Actions is Hard The CISO Fear Index and Personal Liability Post-Breach Visibility vs. Observability in Elastic Identity Environments Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Cloud Wars Live, Bob Evans sits down with Tirthankar Lahiri, Senior Vice President for Mission-Critical Data and AI Engines. Lahiri explains how agentic AI is transforming enterprise applications from simple question-answer systems into action-driven platforms that can reason, remember, and securely execute tasks. He details Oracle's strategy around unified agent memory, private agent factories, deep data security, and open development standards, all designed to help customers build scalable, secure, and flexible AI systems without added cost. AI Built Securely The Big Themes: Agentic AI Becomes Action-Oriented: Tirthankar Lahiri explains that agentic AI represents the next major step beyond generative AI. While generative AI focused largely on answering questions and producing content, agentic AI is designed to take action. It allows businesses to build systems that can reason, decide, and execute tasks autonomously. Oracle sees this as the future of application development, where AI becomes embedded into workflows rather than functioning as a standalone tool. Oracle Builds AI Directly Into the Database: Rather than forcing customers to move data across multiple isolated systems, Oracle's approach is to bring AI directly to the data. Lahiri argues that data is the “ground truth” and moving it creates technical debt, silos, inefficiency, and security vulnerabilities. Oracle's converged database architecture supports multiple data types, including relational, graph, spatial, and vector, inside one unified environment. This eliminates the need for separate repositories and allows AI agents to access all relevant context without fragmentation. Deep Data Security Protects Against AI Risks: Lahiri strongly emphasizes that traditional application-layer security is no longer enough in the age of AI. Since AI can generate SQL and potentially bypass interface restrictions through prompt injection, businesses must secure data directly at the source. Oracle calls this “deep data security.” He uses the analogy of protecting valuables in a safe bolted to the floor rather than simply locking the front gate. Even if someone gets inside the house, the valuables remain protected. Similarly, Oracle enforces security policies at the database level, ensuring agents can only access data users are authorized to see. The Big Quote: "You need to secure data. Need to lock your valuables into the safe deep inside the house." More from Tirthankar Lahiri and Oracle: Connect with Lahiri on LinkedIn or learn more about Oracle AI Database.
