⬥GUEST⬥Sean Metcalf, Identity Security Architect at TrustedSec | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanmmetcalf/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Sean Metcalf, a frequent speaker at conferences like Black Hat, DEF CON, and RSAC, brings a sharp focus to identity security—especially within Microsoft environments like Active Directory and Entra ID. In this episode, he walks through the practical and tactical role of honeypots and deception in detecting intrusions early and with higher fidelity.While traditional detection tools often aim for broad coverage, honeypots flip the script by offering precise signal amidst the noise. Metcalf discusses how defenders can take advantage of the attacker's need to enumerate systems and accounts after gaining access. That need becomes an opportunity to embed traps—accounts or assets that should never be touched unless someone is doing something suspicious.One core recommendation: repurpose old service accounts with long-lived passwords and believable naming conventions. These make excellent bait for Kerberoasting attempts, especially when paired with service principal names (SPNs) that mimic actual applications. Metcalf outlines how even subtle design choices—like naming conventions that fit organizational patterns—can make a honeypot more convincing and effective.He also draws a distinction between honeypots and deception technologies. While honeypots often consist of a few well-placed traps, deception platforms offer full-scale phantom environments. Regardless of approach, the goal remains the same: attackers shouldn't be able to move around your environment without tripping over something that alerts the defender.Importantly, Metcalf emphasizes that alerts triggered by honeypots are high-value. Since no legitimate user should interact with them, they provide early warning with low false positives. He also addresses the internal politics of deploying these traps, from coordinating with IT operations to ensuring SOC teams have the right procedures in place to respond effectively.Whether you're running a high-end deception platform or just deploying free tokens and traps, the message is clear: identity is the new perimeter, and a few strategic tripwires could mean the difference between breach detection and breach denial.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7353806074694541313-xzQl/Article: The Art of the Honeypot Account: Making the Unusual Look Normal: https://www.hub.trimarcsecurity.com/post/the-art-of-the-honeypot-account-making-the-unusual-look-normalArticle: Trimarc Research: Detecting Kerberoasting Activity: https://www.hub.trimarcsecurity.com/post/trimarc-research-detecting-kerberoasting-activityArticle: Detecting Password Spraying with Security Event Auditing: https://www.hub.trimarcsecurity.com/post/trimarc-research-detecting-password-spraying-with-security-event-auditing⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

What to listen for:“I don't just pet them, I go, ‘this is why you train the way you train, remember that'”Today, two-thirds of the Dames of Detection, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing, welcome back obedience trainer Petra Ford to talk about why she believes in a “you do you” approach to dog training.When her dog Zesty dropped eye contact during their first championship run, instead of demanding compliance, Petra simply said, "You do you,” acknowledging that forcing the moment would only add pressure to an already exhausted dog. This mindset shift from control to partnership transformed what could have been a frustrated correction into a moment of trust.Petra's approach challenges conventional wisdom at every turn. While others proof their dogs by setting them up to fail, she builds confidence by making her dogs right. When Zesty struggled with imperfect fronts just weeks before nationals, instead of drilling precision, Petra threw parties for effort. "Close enough, here's a cookie" became her mantra because she understood that confidence creates precision, not the other way around.This path hasn't been easy. Training in isolation, facing constant scrutiny, Petra has walked the lonely road of positive reinforcement in a sport increasingly dominated by punishment. But her results speak louder than critics: three different dogs, multiple championships, all trained through partnership rather than dominance.Petra encourages trainers to ask themselves, "Would I want to be my own teammate?" She treats her dogs as partners, not tools—reading their communication, respecting their limits, and celebrating their individuality. When the pressure mounts and 130 dogs compete for 20 spots, she doesn't add stress. Instead, she becomes her dog's safe space.Trust, not force. Not "do it my way," but simply: "you do you." Key Topics:Mental Management Under Championship Pressure (01:40)The "You Do You" Philosophy in Action (10:00)Building Confidence vs. Creating Pressure (16:31)Training Two Opposite Dogs Successfully (23:09)Walking the Path Less Traveled Alone (26:02)About Petra's Podcast and Other Resources (40:14)Petra's Message to the Next Generation of Dog Trainers (47:38) Resources:Petra Ford on FENZIPetra Ford on FacebookPetra's podcast, Canine ConnectionWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

“Detection is not the end—it's just the beginning.” — Jerry Mancini, NETSCOUT In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Jerry Mancini of NETSCOUT about the company's latest advancements in automated threat detection and response—with a particular focus on why telecommunications networks are uniquely vulnerable and high-value targets. NETSCOUT, long known for its deep packet inspection and network performance management, is expanding the capabilities of its adaptive threat analytics—a platform designed not only to detect threats but also to assemble and contextualize them using network-level intelligence. Beyond Detection: Seeing the Full Picture While most cybersecurity tools focus on isolated detections—EDR, firewall logs, and suspicious indicators—NETSCOUT's approach centers on reconstructing the complete threat narrative across the enterprise. By capturing packet data continuously and using workflows to connect disparate detections, NETSCOUT enables investigators to: Understand the root cause and lateral movement Detect activity before and after a flagged incident Integrate signals from multiple sources (EDR, NDR, WAF, and more) Investigate threats in real time and retrospectively Why Telcos Are at Greater Risk Mancini highlights the unique role of telco infrastructure in global data movement, making them prime targets for cyber espionage and traffic manipulation. Attackers, such as the Salt Typhoon group, have used compromised routers and peering points to reroute and eavesdrop on massive data flows—impacting not just carriers but their customers across the internet. Best Practices for Threat Hunters NETSCOUT supports both bottom-up investigations (starting with a detected incident) and top-down threat hunts (searching for indicators tied to known campaigns). The platform's ability to store and search packet-level data gives teams visibility that goes far beyond typical log-based detection tools. Mancini's key advice: “You need more than alerts—you need the data to trace back, understand what happened, and act before it's too late.” Where to Learn More Visit netscout.com to explore solutions in: Network Performance Management DDoS Detection & Mitigation Adaptive Threat Analytics NETSCOUT supports both enterprise and service provider environments and is available to assist with immediate and long-term threat management strategies.

Why do we screen for cancer but not the leading cause of death — heart disease? Today, we explore innovative strategies for early detection, prevention, and effective intervention in cardiovascular health.Join hosts Dr. Emmie Brown, ND, and Melissa Gentile, INHC, as they welcome Dr. Joel Kahn, a renowned cardiologist and advocate for plant-based nutrition and holistic approaches to heart health. Dr. Kahn delves into why heart disease has stubbornly remained the leading cause of death despite medical advancements, highlighting the need for a paradigm shift in prevention and early detection.Dr. Kahn critiques the current lack of attention paid to proactive cardiovascular screening, noting the puzzling discrepancy between routine cancer screenings and the absence of widespread use of tools like coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scans for asymptomatic adults. He champions a personalized, comprehensive approach, moving beyond basic lipid panels and into genetic testing, advanced inflammatory markers, and detailed imaging.They also discuss dietary strategies, including debates on the role of protein and seed oils in heart risk, the importance of the endothelial glycocalyx, and recommendations for clinicians to assess and communicate vascular risk. Dr. Kahn challenges both traditional and trendy wellness beliefs, promoting evidence-based, personalized strategies in integrative cardiology.Key Takeaways from Today's Episode:

Ultrasonic sensors offer impressive functionality: they measure by transmitting high-frequency sound pulses. The measurement concept allows reliable and accurate detection and measurement that is largely independent of target surface type, color/reflectivity, and ambient conditions such as dust/dirt, fog, snow, or temperature fluctuations. Combining ultrasonic detection with IO-Link communication makes using and harnessing the sensor’s capabilities a breeze. Detection reliability in the presence of interference targets in the detection field further enhances the capabilities of these all-rounders. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In episode 17 of the Fire Fundamentals, we delve into the fire detection technology. Fire detection forms the critical foundation of all active fire protection measures, serving as the prerequisite for any fire safety engineering solution to work effectively. Following key points are discussed:Detection systems must balance sensitivity with reliability to avoid false alarms that disrupt building operationsFalse alarms lead to serious business continuity issues and may eventually cause systems to be disabledTest fires methodology to assess sensor viability is discussedOptical smoke detectors use light scattering principles to detect smoke particles in their detection chamberIonisation detectors utilise a small radioactive source creating an ionised environment in which an electrical current can be present, and gets disrupted by smokeHeat detectors operate based on absolute temperature thresholds or rate-of-rise measurementsCO sensors complement other detection technologies to improve reliability and reduce false alarmsLine detectors (both optical and heat-based) provide coverage for large areas like atria and tunnelsAspirating detection systems offer extremely early warning by continuously sampling air through pipesFuture technologies include camera-based detection with AI processing and thermal imagingStrategies to reduce false alarms include multi-sensor devices, coincidence detection, and verification delaysWithout detection, we're blind, and no automated systems may act—making fire detection critical for whatever application of fire safety engineering we implement.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

STORY 3: Letter shows Cobb's threat to halt police services in Mableton Mableton officials agreed to pay Cobb County $9.5 million for police and transportation services after the county threatened to halt them by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the city was forced into the deal to ensure public safety, despite concerns of "double taxation" for residents already paying county taxes. The agreement funds services until May 2026, with Mableton exploring a special service district to cover costs. While Cobb County claimed it wouldn’t abandon residents, a May 30 letter revealed threats to cease services if no deal was reached. The city council initially rejected the plan but later approved it after mediation. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Austell approves 158% property tax increase The Austell City Council approved a 158% property tax increase, raising the millage rate from 3.25 to 8.25 mills, despite strong opposition from residents. The hike, expected to double property tax revenue to $3.85 million, aims to stabilize finances and address a $1.6 million budget shortfall. Mayor Ollie Clemons defended the decision as necessary for the city’s future, while critics, including Council member Meredith Adams, opposed the sharp increase, citing its impact on residents, especially those on fixed incomes. Many residents blamed city leadership for financial mismanagement, while Clemons attributed the issues to inflation and past inaction. STORY 5: Cobb Water Authority manager talks fluoride, forever chemicals, costs Cole Blackwell, general manager of the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, emphasized proactive planning for water quality, affordability, and infrastructure reliability during a Kiwanis Club talk. The authority, sourcing water from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee River, is addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS, though current levels remain safe. Inflation and rising construction costs have impacted operations, but costs are stabilizing, and the authority has a water supply sufficient through 2055. Blackwell reassured residents of continued fluoride use, compliance with regulations, and efforts to maintain reasonable water rates while ensuring future reliability. Break: STORY 6: Marietta man charged with stealing from Ford Elementary School Jamie Jr. Cline, 44, of Marietta, faces two theft charges for allegedly stealing a trailer and hay blower from Ford Elementary School in Acworth during separate incidents on June 29 and 30. According to police, Cline accessed the school by opening chained gates. Arrested on July 8, he was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center and released the next morning on a $35,000 bond. STORY 7: Shaw Park Community Block Party is July 19 The Shaw Park Community Block Party will take place on July 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Gritters Library in Marietta. Hosted by Gritters Library, CobbWorks, and Cobb PARKS, this free, family-friendly event features a live DJ, inflatable games, face painting, bilingual storytime, and a Bollywood Dance Challenge. Food will be available for purchase from The Patty Wagon and King of Pops. The event aims to bring the community together and highlight local resources while celebrating the library’s recent reopening. We’ll have closing comments after this.

What to listen for:"I care about my dog's emotional state, how they're feeling, and how confident they are. And I work on that a lot."Two-thirds of the Dames of Detection, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing, sit down with obedience trainer Petra Ford, who unpacks the importance of seeing dogs as individuals, not assumptions!Real progress, she says, starts when you stop correcting and start connecting.Petra shares how letting go of labels like “nervous” transformed her relationship with her dog Zeal—and how trainers often project past experiences onto new dogs without realizing it. She encourages slowing down and objectively observing, not assuming. Each dog deserves to be seen for who they are, not who came before them.Through her work with a neurologically atypical dog, Petra developed calming strategies rooted in deep pressure, similar to techniques used for autistic children. These evolved into arousal “thermostat” cues that help her dogs self-regulate and perform with clarity and joy.Petra's training is driven by curiosity and persistence. She doesn't rely on recipes—she adapts, explores, and adjusts until the dog understands. Whether teaching a front or building confidence under ring pressure, her dogs learn through games, not grind. They don't just perform on command—they actually want to succeed, themselves.At the core of Petra's philosophy is respect: for the dog's emotional state, for their individuality, and for the bond they share. Titles may come, but the real reward is the connection.Because in the end, as Petra reminds us, training isn't about forcing the dog to meet our goals. The best trainers don't mold the dog to fit the plan—they mold the plan to fit the dog.Key Topics:Reframing "Nervous" Dogs and Letting Go of Labels (06:46)Using Deep Pressure for Emotional Regulation (14:21)Teaching Arousal Cues and Emotional Balance (16:58)Fitness, Recovery, and Mental Breaks (21:58)The Art of Adapting Your Training Strategy to the Dog (33:07)Why Listening to the Dog Matters Most (36:21)Creating Joy in Precision: Obedience as Play (41:10)Working Through Pressure, Not Against It (42:57)From Zero Confidence to Mental Mastery (49:45)Resources:Petra Ford on FENZIPetra Ford on FacebookJane Savoie - It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding (and Life) with a Winning Attitude (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

In this episode of Detection at Scale, Jack speaks with Erik Bloch, VP of Security, Illumio, about why most security operations teams aren't ready for AI tools and what fundamental processes must be in place first. Erik challenges the industry's obsession with new technologies, sharing stories from his experience transforming underperforming security teams at major companies like Cisco, Salesforce, and Atlassian.  His conversation with Jack explores how to measure what actually matters in security operations, from team capacity utilization to business outcome dispositions, and why proper ticketing systems and actionable metrics are prerequisites for any advanced tooling to be effective. Topics discussed: The importance of establishing fundamental processes like ticketing systems and metrics before implementing AI tools in security operations. How to measure team capacity utilization and resource allocation to identify when security operations teams are operating beyond sustainable levels. Why traditional security metrics like mean time to detect are often vanity metrics that don't provide actionable business intelligence. The critical need for security leaders to communicate in business language with concrete data rather than anecdotal risk assessments. How managed service providers will likely be the first to successfully adopt AI tools due to their standardized processes. The challenge of proving AI tool effectiveness when most organizations lack baseline metrics to measure improvement against established benchmarks. Why security teams gravitate toward building custom tools and how this impacts their approach to adopting commercial AI solutions. The role of MCP in enabling security teams to create their own agents and integrate multiple tools. How AI should focus on eliminating routine tasks like phishing email analysis rather than trying to catch advanced persistent threats. The framework for implementing AI tools by starting with business outcomes, defining metrics, identifying capabilities, and then inserting automation.  Listen to more episodes: Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

Before a power crew rolls out to check a transformer, sensors on the grid have often already flagged the problem. Before your smart dishwasher starts its cycle, it might wait for off-peak energy rates. And in the world of autonomous vehicles, lightweight systems constantly scan road conditions before a decision ever reaches the car's central processor.These aren't the heroes of their respective systems. They're the scouts, the context-builders: automated agents that make the entire operation more efficient, timely, and scalable.Cybersecurity is beginning to follow the same path.In an era of relentless digital noise and limited human capacity, AI agents are being deployed to look first, think fast, and flag what matters before security teams ever engage. But these aren't the cartoonish “AI firefighters” some might suggest. They're logical engines operating at scale: pruning data, enriching signals, simulating outcomes, and preparing workflows with precision."AI agents are redefining how security teams operate, especially when time and talent are limited," says Kumar Saurabh, CEO of AirMDR. "These agents do more than filter noise. They interpret signals, build context, and prepare response actions before a human ever gets involved."This shift from reactive firefighting to proactive triage is happening across cybersecurity domains. In detection, AI agents monitor user behavior and flag anomalies in real time, often initiating mitigation actions like isolating compromised devices before escalation is needed. In prevention, they simulate attacker behaviors and pressure-test systems, flagging unseen vulnerabilities and attack paths. In response, they compile investigation-ready case files that allow human analysts to jump straight into action."Low-latency, on-device AI agents can operate closer to the data source, better enabling anomaly detection, threat triaging, and mitigation in milliseconds," explains Shomron Jacob, Head of Applied Machine Learning and Platform at Iterate.ai. "This not only accelerates response but also frees up human analysts to focus on complex, high-impact investigations."Fred Wilmot, Co-Founder and CEO of Detecteam, points out that agentic systems are advancing limited expertise by amplifying professionals in multiple ways. "Large foundation models are driving faster response, greater context and more continuous optimization in places like SOC process and tools, threat hunting, detection engineering and threat intelligence operationalization," Wilmot explains. "We're seeing the dawn of a new way to understand data, behavior and process, while optimizing how we ask the question efficiently, confirm the answer is correct and improve the next answer from the data interaction our agents just had."Still, real-world challenges persist. Costs for tokens and computing power can quickly outstrip the immediate benefit of agentic approaches at scale. Organizations leaning on smaller, customized models may see greater returns but must invest in AI engineering practices to truly realize this advantage. "Companies have to get comfortable with the time and energy required to produce incremental gains," Wilmot adds, "but the incentive to innovate from zero to one in minutes should outweigh the cost of standing still."Analysts at Forrester have noted that while the buzz around so-called agentic AI is real, these systems are only as effective as the context and guardrails they operate within. The power of agentic systems lies in how well they stay grounded in real data, well-defined scopes, and human oversight. ¹ ²While approaches differ, the business case is clear. AI agents can reduce toil, speed up analysis, and extend the reach of small teams. As Saurabh observes, AI agents that handle triage and enrichment in minutes can significantly reduce investigation times and allow analysts to focus on the incidents that truly require human judgment.As organizations wrestle with a growing attack surface and shrinking response windows, the real value of AI agents might not lie in what they replace, but in what they prepare. Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, points out, "AI can help you detect faster. But Zero Trust stops malware before it ever runs. It's not about guessing smarter; it's about not having to guess at all." While AI speeds detection and response, attackers are also using AI to evade defenses, making it vital to pair smart automation with architectures that deny threats by default and only allow what's explicitly needed.These agents are the eyes ahead, the hands that set the table, and increasingly the reason why the real work can begin faster and smarter than ever before.References1.

This week Topher and Jeff talk with Eric Walsky & Mathieu Falbriard from Bearmind Tech. As former players significantly impacted by concussions, Walsky and Falbriard founded Bearmind Tech to help with concussion detection and improving brain injury management. So many concussions either go undetected entirely, or receive delayed treatment. Bearmind's monitoring device was designed to change that. In this episode we talk about: — How 70% of concussions are diagnosed after games, meaning that most players continue playing, not realizing they are injured — How we rush too quickly into body contact with our current development model — How playing multiple sports creates critical thinking skills — Best practices for concussion treatment — The loneliness in concussions AND SO MUCH MORE!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the latest astronomical discoveries and the implications for future space exploration.New Interstellar Visitor: Comet 3I AtlasAstronomers have identified a new interstellar object, designated 3I Atlas, which is currently traversing our solar system. Discovered by NASA's ATLAS telescope in Chile, this comet is approximately 670 million kilometers away and poses no threat to Earth, as it will pass at a safe distance of 240 million kilometers. With a velocity exceeding 51 kilometers per second, 3I Atlas is only the third confirmed interstellar visitor, following the enigmatic Oumuamua and the more familiar comet 2I/Borisov. As observations continue, scientists are eager to learn more about its origins and characteristics.China's Ambitious Mars Sample Return MissionSpeculation is mounting that China may outpace the U.S. and Europe in the race to return the first samples from Mars. The recently announced Tianwen 3 mission aims to collect Martian samples and bring them back to Earth for detailed analysis, potentially revealing whether life ever existed on the Red Planet. This mission follows China's successful deployment of the Zhurong rover and highlights the ongoing competition in space exploration. Scientists will need to target specific locations on Mars to collect samples that could provide insights into the planet's past habitability.Vera C Rubin Observatory's Stunning First ImagesAstronomers are thrilled by the first images released by the Vera C Rubin Observatory, which features an 8.4-meter telescope and a 3,200-megapixel camera. This observatory is set to conduct the world's largest sky survey over the next decade, generating an astonishing 20 terabytes of data each night. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time will provide unprecedented insights into cosmic phenomena, including asteroids, supernovae, and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Australian astronomers are collaborating in this global effort, processing and analyzing the vast amounts of data generated.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNASA ATLAShttps://www.nasa.gov/China's Tianwen 3 Missionhttps://www.space.com/china-mars-sample-return-tianwen-3Vera C Rubin Observatoryhttps://www.lsst.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

“The five-year relative survival rate for localized, or cancer that is confined to the colon or the rectum, is 91% for colon cancer and 90% for rectal cancer. Distant, metastasized to other organs—the five-year survival rate is 13% for colon and 18% for rectal cancer. So that really shows you the huge difference in screening and where screening can come in and make better outcomes,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer screening.

Highlights From This Episode “Interestingly, recent studies suggest that starting screening even earlier than 45, such as age 40, could significantly reduce mortality and incidence rates, especially as colorectal cancer is rising among younger adults.” TS 2:42 “[Artificial intelligence]-enhanced screening tools are also being developed to improve sensitivity, reduce turnaround time, and enable real-time monitoring of disease progression. These innovations aim to make screening more accessible and accurate, especially in our underserved populations. So there's a huge impact on early detection.” TS 4:07 “Those with multiple chronic conditions or limited mobility may be less likely to complete screening, and those results may be harder to interpret. I mentioned a little bit earlier about our underserved or minority populations. Those barriers such as limited health literacy, lack of insurance, and cultural stigma can reduce screening uptake and ultimately follow-through.” TS 12:25 “Patient navigation programs—this is where we have trained navigators to help patients schedule appointments, understand procedures, and ultimately overcome some of these logistical hurdles. These have actually been shown to significantly boost screening rates. Also, those mailed stool-based-test kits—sending those kits directly to a patient home, especially with a personalized letter from a provider to add that extra little touch, has proven effective in increasing participation.” TS 21:29 “Our screening can detect cancer before symptoms appear and even identify precancerous polyps, which can be removed to prevent cancer altogether. Studies actually show that regular screening can reduce colorectal cancer mortality by up to 35% and the incidence of advanced-stage disease by nearly 30%. Just another reason why screening really does matter.” TS 25:53 “Evaluating our implicit bias, especially in something as critical as colorectal cancer, requires both introspection and instructional supports. One way of doing this is by auditing your practice patterns, really looking at reviewing your own screening recommendations and follow-up rates across different patient demographics. So are there certain groups that are less likely to be offered a colonoscopy? I think some of us may have an implicit bias—you see a patient; you're like, ‘There's no way they're going to agree to that, so I'm just not going to offer it.' Where we don't offer it, they don't have that opportunity to decline that. That can lead to further delay. And those patterns can reveal a bias in action.” TS 28:18

Innovative Wildfire Detection: How Firebird and Lindsey FireSense Are Changing Fire Prevention In this episode of All Things Wildfire, we sit down with Tim Dunfee, former deputy fire chief and now fire safety advocate at Lindsey FireSense, to explore a critical innovation in wildfire detection: The Firebird. With wildfires increasing in frequency and intensity—especially in high-risk areas like California—communities, homeowners, and insurers are searching for smarter, faster ways to detect and prevent fire damage. The Firebird is one such solution. Using thermal fire detection technology, Firebird offers early alerts that can be the difference between a close call and a catastrophic loss. From the Front Lines to Fire Tech: Meet Tim Dunfee With decades of firefighting experience behind him, Tim Dunfee brings deep insight into the complexities of fire management. His transition from firefighting to fire safety tech was driven by one mission: to improve how we detect and respond to fire threats. As he says, "Fire has no boundaries." And in today's environment, wildfire prevention must be just as dynamic as the threats themselves. Why Firebird Matters The Firebird device adds a crucial layer to fire detection, supplementing traditional alert systems. Positioned on properties, it actively monitors for heat signatures, delivering alerts before smoke or flames reach catastrophic levels. It's a game-changer for: Homeowners looking to protect their properties Insurance companies seeking to reduce wildfire risk Fire departments looking for faster detection tools Wildfire Prevention Requires a Team Effort Throughout the episode, Tim emphasizes that effective wildfire prevention isn't just about technology—it's about community collaboration. He urges homeowners to take initiative with home hardening measures and stay informed on local risks. Tim also addresses the emotional toll of fire response, reminding listeners that behind every wildfire event are responders who put their lives on the line. Fire Safety, Insurance & the Future One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation is the growing role of insurance companies in wildfire prevention. As premiums rise and coverage shrinks, insurers are starting to recognize the value of proactive solutions like Firebird. This shift could reshape how communities approach fire safety, pushing for smarter technology and shared responsibility. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Firebird enhances fire detection through thermal sensors. Community engagement is essential for wildfire prevention. Firefighters face emotional challenges and need community support. Insurance providers are beginning to incentivize fire safety investments. Collaboration among neighbors improves outcomes during fire events. Homeowners must take ownership of their fire risk.

Send us a textNo special guest for episode #50. We reflected on the previous 49 episodes and discussed changes that we have made to our detection and tracking. Some of these changes came from ideas from some of our guests. Some of these changes have proven to be very helpful with certain dogs, but the one constant is that they are not all the same. What works particularly well for one dog may not work so well for the next. So, as we have said many times on the podcast you have to train the dog in front you. With more tools in our tool belt we now find ourselves evaluating what method works best with each particular dog. There is not one method that works perfectly for every dog. Many of the things we do are nuanced. One person may do it slightly different and yield a different result.  The more you learn the more you evolve and grow. These are the things that makes this work so interesting.  We appreciate each of you and thank you for listening. Please continue to support our sponsor.
