In this episode of the Programmatic Digest, host Helene Parker sits down with Jana Meron, programmatic veteran and sell-side expert, for a deep dive into how the buy side and sell side can finally bridge the gap. This episode serves as a preview of their upcoming joint workshop — The Sell-Side Programmatic Foundation for Buyers — designed to help traders, buyers, and ad ops professionals better understand how publishers, SSPs, and ad tech integrations actually work. Jana shares her fascinating career journey, from early media buying days to leading programmatic and data operations at Business Insider and The Washington Post. She brings her insider perspective on what really happens behind the publisher ad stack, the complexity of SSP integrations, and how demand path optimization (DPO) mirrors the buy-side's supply path optimization (SPO). Together, Helene and Jana explore: The disconnect between buy-side traders and sell-side ops teams How publisher ad stacks function behind the scenes The real meaning of SPO vs. DPO What “wrappers,” “pre-bid,” and “open bidding” actually mean in practice Why traders should collaborate directly with publishers (not just SSPs) How building relationships with publishers strengthens campaign results Why understanding the sell side helps buyers optimize smarter Whether you're a buyer, trader, or publisher, this conversation will transform how you see the other side of the programmatic equation — and why it's time to build more collaboration, transparency, and trust across the ecosystem.   Sign up to this FREE workshop: https://programmaticdigest14822.ac-page.com/sell-side-workshop    About Us: We teach historically excluded individuals how to break into programmatic media buying and land their dream jobs.

In 2025, Asian CISOs navigate a hardened regulatory landscape where updated Cyber Security Acts and PDPA amendments significantly raise the stakes. With stringent new rules on cross-border data transfers, mandatory breach notifications, and AI governance, compliance is a primary battlefield. Regulators are flexing enhanced audit powers and levying multi-million-dollar fines, making unpreparedness a critical corporate risk.The challenge lies in harmonizing these diverse, evolving mandates across jurisdictions while countering sophisticated threats like ransomware and cloud account takeovers. However, this pressure also creates strategic opportunities. Joining us on this PodChats for FutureCISO is Ananth Nag, APAC VP, Rubrik.QUESTIONS:1.       How do the latest amendments to the PDPA and equivalent ASEAN frameworks (e.g., Malaysia's PDPA, Brunei's PDPO) redefine consent, DPO obligations, and lawful data processing for 2026?2.       Under the new Cyber Security Act, what designation criteria classify organisations as critical information infrastructure owners—and what heightened obligations follow?3.       What mandatory incident reporting timelines, formats, and cross-jurisdictional protocols must be embedded into our response plans for countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore?4.       How should CISOs evolve their incident response and breach notification strategies to align with the operational convergence of the Cyber Security Act and PDPA mandates?5.       Which sovereign cloud providers and data residency architectures satisfy both national regulations and the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework for cross-border flows?6.       What evidence of “reasonable security arrangements”—including DPIAs (impact assessment), encryption standards, and privacy-by-design—will regulators demand during audits across ASEAN?7.       How are third-party and supply chain obligations expanding under these acts, and how must vendor contracts and due diligence be updated to mitigate cascading liability?8.       In what ways are regulators leveraging AI for compliance monitoring—and how can we ethically deploy AI while meeting emerging governance mandates for automated decision-making?9.       What penalties (fines, imprisonment, operational suspension) should compliance heads budget for, and what cyber resilience benchmarks (e.g., NIST-aligned) must we certify against to avoid them?10.   How do we future-proof our compliance strategy amid ASEAN regulatory convergence—through board-level cyber governance metrics, strategic regulator partnerships, and anticipatory investment in ransomware/supply-chain resilience? What is your advise for Navigating the New Cyber Security Act & PDPA in 2026?

In this episode, I review the book Masters of Uncertainty - The Navy Seal Way to Turn Stress into Success for You and Your Team by Rich Diviney.If you think about it, stress is one of the most powerful assets and liabilities in each one of our lives. It can cause us to focus and be the best version of ourselves. Left unfocused or uncontrolled, it can devastate us or even lead to premature death. In the military, panic is not an option. Panic rarely serves us well, but that is precisely what happens if we cannot control our stress. Acute stress leads to panic. By definition, the military knows that they are putting their men and women in acutely stressful situations. So they have developed a series of techniques to allow there troops to be as calm and as possible to achieve the mission.Diviney shares what he learned in his SEAL training, outlining a series of concrete steps to turn negative stress into an asset to achieve your mission.In this episode, we focus on one part of the book relating to controlling your response in the midst of uncertain and unexpected events.We cover: duration, pathway, and outcome DPO); what is known and controllable in unexpected events; and breathwork to immediately calm the mind when an unexpected event occurs.This is book short; however, its impact is powerful. It has the potential to change your life.Control your stress. Turn it an asset. Optimize the result. Just like the Navy SEALS do. This was a good book!!

Send us a textWhile we generally don't shy away from politics when it comes to data protection and privacy rights, the conflict in Gaza is not a topic that we would quickly raise on the podcast. Unless data protection plays a role, which it now does.On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth, Ralph O'Brien of Reinbo Consulting, and Dr. K Royal enter a dimension not seen before on the podcast - a plea for human rights related to Israel and Gaza. The immediate reason for our discussion are two news reports: the registration requirement for humanitarian aid organisations imposed by the Israeli government, and the mass surveillance of phone communications in the Palestinian territories.We recognise this topic is divise, and may not be to everyone's liking.

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  What if you could transform paralyzing uncertainty into decisive action?In this eye-opening exploration of mental focus, you'll learn how Navy SEALs navigate chaos and make critical decisions when stakes are highest.    Enter the DPO method (Duration-Pathway-Outcome), a neuroscience-backed approach that elite military operators use to create certainty in the most uncertain environments. By deliberately shifting your temporal horizon, you generate the confidence and motivation to move forward rather than freeze.  This uniquely human ability to shift focus across time—zooming in on immediate details, then zooming out to connect actions to larger goals—is what separates those who thrive from those merely surviving in today's accelerating change.  As unpredictability becomes our new normal, mastering this mental skill may be the most critical factor in your future success.  Ready to transform how you navigate uncertainty?  Try this Navy SEAL technique today and watch how this creates momentum toward your larger objectives.  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the show Brought to you by Angela Shurina EXECUTIVE HEALTH AND OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH Change in days - not in years!
