A sexualidade não é um erro. Ela não foi criada para ser motivo de vergonha, nem para ser ignorada ou reprimida. A verdade é que a sexualidade faz parte do plano original de Deus para o ser humano. Ele nos criou corpo, alma e espírito — e tudo o que Ele criou, Ele viu que era bom. Mas, como tudo neste mundo, a sexualidade também foi afetada pelo pecado. Por isso, muitos vivem hoje confusos, feridos ou aprisionados nessa área. Porém, quando nos rendemos a Cristo e deixamos que Ele seja o Senhor de todas as áreas da nossa vida — inclusive da nossa sexualidade — começamos a experimentar restauração, clareza e liberdade verdadeira. Deus não quer apenas nos ensinar a “evitar o pecado”. Ele quer nos mostrar o propósito maior: viver uma sexualidade que glorifica o Seu nome, que caminha em santidade e que é instrumento de testemunho e pureza neste mundo. Não precisamos esconder, fugir ou ter medo desse tema. Precisamos apenas confiar em quem nos criou. O plano dEle é maior, mais belo e mais seguro do que qualquer proposta deste mundo.

It's one that focuses on stability of cash flows over time.” The panel discusses why shifting your mindset from maximizing account balances to managing sustainable cash flow is key to peace of mind. Work, Entrepreneurship, and Purpose Play Critical Roles in a Modern Retirement Kerry Hannon points out that working longer—whether through career extension, entrepreneurship, or passion projects—can boost both financial security and life satisfaction. “How can you continue to work longer? It's a dramatic way to give yourself some security in retirement if you can stay working longer.” The episode explores creative ways Gen X and boomers are redefining "retirement." There's No One-Size-Fits-All: Frameworks vs. Rules Roger Whitney insists that “the answer to almost every question...is ‘It depends'.” No single formula fits everyone; a personalized, evolving plan that balances what you want out of life with practical financial strategies is essential. The episode delves into why regular reviews and customized “guardrails” are more important than rigid withdrawal rules. Guardrails, Buckets, and Behavioral Coaching Are More Vital Than Ever Jamie Hopkins and Dana Anspach review popular strategies like bucket and guardrails approaches, emphasizing that tools and behavioral coaching work best when tailored to each retiree's unique needs and anxieties. Jamie also warns about new financial threats: “I think that fraud...is going to become rampant. It's the biggest concern out there...it's a big concern.” Call-to-Action If you've been feeling uncertain about your own retirement income plan, here's your assignment for the week: Take 30 minutes to map out your expected sources of income in retirement—pensions, Social Security, savings, investments—and identify any potential gaps.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Automation is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it promises greater efficiency; on the other hand, it can pose inherent risks, such as maliciously modified data, bias, and even data poisoning. During today's interview, Mia Jordan from Salesforce offers a solution.  She is an experienced federal executive with a long-standing involvement in the federal technology community.  She has identified bottlenecks that can be solved with a structured approach that offers flexibility. Rather than grabbing any data set off the shelf, when the data has been curated, it can avoid many of the issues with creating specialized data sets. Secondly, a company like Salesforce may have seen similar processes and have a store of code that can solve an agency's problem.  Re-purposing code that has worked before in a secure environment is a way to accelerate solving vexing federal issues. The conversation also highlights the importance of collaboration and community within the federal government in enhancing efficiency and service delivery. During the interview, Mia Jordan reviewed Agentforce and gave guidance on deploying a process called Role, Knowledge, Action, and Guardrails.

We all know the danger of distracted driving. But what if distraction is quietly wrecking more than our commutes?

In this sermon, Pastor Stephen explore the hidden cost of technology and what it might take to get our lives back.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Ned Dwyer is the Co-Founder and CEO of Great Question, the all-in-one UX research platform designed to democratize research at scale.After two successful exits as a founder, Ned launched his biggest idea to date: helping enterprise teams better understand their users. Ned has led Great Question in empowering UX researchers, designers, and product teams to collaborate seamlessly and uncover the insights needed to build something great.With over a decade of experience at the intersection of product, design & research; Ned has driven innovation and scaled businesses that solve complex challenges for enterprises.Outside of his professional pursuits, Ned loves spending time in sunny Oakland, California with his wife, two kids and three cats.In our conversation, we discuss:* What democratization really means and why it's not just about “everyone doing research.”* The shift in sentiment and adoption—from early-stage startups to 16,000-person enterprises.* How researchers can avoid being sidelined by becoming facilitators, not gatekeepers.* The role of tools, policies, and AI in scaling high-quality research safely across teams.* Strategies for building the business case for tools and training—especially in resource-limited orgs.Some takeaways:* Democratization is already happening whether you're involved or not. Ned emphasizes that research is already being done across organizations by non-researchers, just not always well. The opportunity for researchers is to step into a facilitator role: setting standards, defining guardrails, and ensuring quality without hoarding control.* Big orgs are leading the way, not just scrappy startups. Contrary to early assumptions, the most aggressive adopters of democratization aren't just startups, they're enterprises with thousands of employees. The difference? These organizations invest in scalable infrastructure, permissions, and training to empower safe, responsible research at scale.* Guardrails matter more than gatekeeping. With the right systems, democratization doesn't have to mean chaos. Great Question includes features like eligibility criteria, access controls, incentive limits, study approval flows, and AI-powered report validation. These guardrails enable research at scale without compromising integrity or participant experience.* Make your case by speaking leadership's language. To advocate for democratization tools or training, tie your request to business goals: reduced legal risk, better participant experience, efficiency gains, and fewer headcount needs. Use the “researcher effort score” to quantify pain points and show progress over time.* Want more influence? Get close to the money. Strategic researchers don't wait for requests, they go to sales, marketing, and product to understand pain points and proactively solve them. Running win/loss research or unblocking customer access helps build trust, grow research demand, and elevate your role beyond usability testing.Where to find Ned:* Website* LinkedIn: Great Question* LinkedIn: Ned* Twitter/XInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

In this episode ofThe New Stack Makers, Nitric CEO Steve Demchuk discusses how the frustration of building frontend apps within rigid FinTech environments led to the creation of the Nitric framework — a tool designed to eliminate the friction between developers and cloud infrastructure. Unlike traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC), where developers must manage both app logic and infrastructure definitions separately, Nitric introduces “Infrastructure from Code.” This approach allows developers to focus solely on application logic while the platform infers and automates infrastructure needs using SDKs and CLI tools across multiple languages and cloud providers.Demchuk emphasizes that Nitric doesn't remove platform team control but enforces it consistently. Guardrails defined by platform teams guide infrastructure provisioning, ensuring security and compliance — even as developers use AI tools to rapidly generate code. The result is a streamlined workflow where developers move faster, AI enhances productivity, and platform teams retain oversight. This episode offers engineering leaders insight into a paradigm shift in how cloud infrastructure is managed in the AI era.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about Nitric:  Building a Serverless Meme Generator With Nitric and OpenAIWhy Most Companies Are Struggling With Infrastructure as Code Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

The 4% withdrawal rule does not apply to early retirees since it's based on a 30-year timeline, not the 40+ years needed for early retirement. Guyton's guardrails approach offers a better alternative, allowing for 5.2-5.6% withdrawal rates by adapting spending based on market performance.• Guardrails approach uses flexible withdrawal rates that increase when markets perform well and decrease during downturns• Traditional 4% rule based only on S&P 500 and intermediate US bonds, while diversification across asset classes can increase safe withdrawal rates• First years of retirement often have high expenses (healthcare, education, travel) when your portfolio is most vulnerable• Bowling analogy: retirement planning with guardrails is like bowling with bumpers to avoid gutter balls• Business analogy: like a business owner, spend more when times are good, cut back when they aren't• Creating a "war chest" of safe assets reduces pressure on your growth investments during market downturns• Stress test your retirement plan against worst-case scenarios: market crashes, reduced Social Security, high inflation, living to 100- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

Episode 301 - The Need for Thoughtful Engagement in an Age of Clickbait  Podcast Hosts: Karen Swim, APR & Michelle Kane  Release Schedule: New episodes every Monday  Episode Summary: In this thought-provoking episode of That Solo Life, Karen and Michelle take a critical look at the current state of social media and the challenges of thoughtful engagement in a world dominated by clickbait culture. They discuss how the drive for visibility and engagement often leads to misinformation, manipulation, and the decline of meaningful discourse. The hosts share their perspectives as PR professionals on the deeper responsibility of fostering ethics and trust in communication. They emphasize the importance of slowing down to verify facts, maintaining integrity, and modeling critical thinking, especially for clients navigating today's fast-paced information landscape. Key Takeaways: The Clickbait Conundrum: Once a space for genuine connections, social media is now overwhelmingly driven by metrics and visibility at the expense of authenticity. The Role of PR Pros: Public relations professionals have a responsibility to fight misinformation and help clients maintain trust through transparent communication practices. Guardrails for Brands: Karen and Michelle suggest bringing back foundational tools like fact sheets, Q&A documents, and newsroom pages to ensure an official “source of truth” for your brand. Critical Thinking: The hosts stress the need for slowing down, questioning narratives, and taking the time to verify information before reacting or sharing. Community Still Matters: Despite the digital noise, authentic engagement and human connection remain the most impactful strategies for building trust and loyalty. Quotes from the Episode: “People are sharing, posting, and reacting so quickly that critical thinking often takes a back seat.” “We need to bring back tools like fact sheets and Q&A docs to ensure the public has easy access to the truth.” “Community and genuine connection will always outperform clickbait in the long run.” Related Episodes and Additional Resources That Solo Life: The New Challenges in Managing Brand Reputation That Solo Life: Quality Over Quantity Will Drive PR In 2025 Smart Social Secrets:  Why Social Media Posting Isn't Working - And What to do Instead!

Peter shares a grounded view of the current AI moment—one where attention-grabbing capabilities often distract from fundamental truths about software security.At the heart of the discussion is the question: Can my AI be hacked? Peter's answer is a firm “yes”—but not for the reasons most might expect. He explains that AI is still software, and the risks it introduces are extensions of those we've seen for decades. The real difference lies not in the nature of the threats, but in how these new interfaces behave and how we, as humans, interact with them. Natural language interfaces, in particular, make it easier to introduce confusion and harder to contain behaviors, especially when people overestimate the intelligence of the systems.Peter highlights that prompt injection, model poisoning, and opaque logic flows are not entirely new challenges. They mirror known classes of vulnerabilities like SQL injection or insecure APIs—only now they come wrapped in the hype of generative AI. He encourages teams to reframe the conversation: replace the word “AI” with “software” and see how the risk profile becomes more recognizable and manageable.A key takeaway is that the issue isn't just technical. Many organizations are integrating AI capabilities without understanding what they're introducing. As Peter puts it, “You're plugging in software filled with features you don't need, which makes your risk modeling much harder.” Guardrails are often mistaken for full protections, and foundational practices in application development and threat modeling are being sidelined by excitement and speed to market.Peter's upcoming session at InfoSecurity Europe—Can My AI Be Hacked?—aims to bring this discussion to life with real-world attack examples, systems-level analysis, and a practical call to action: retool, retrain, and reframe your approach to AI security. Whether you're in development, operations, or governance, this session promises perspective that cuts through the noise and anchors your strategy in reality.___________Guest: Peter Garraghan, Professor in Computer Science at Lancaster University, Fellow of the UK Engineering Physical Sciences and Research Council (EPSRC), and CEO & CTO of Mindgard | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pgarraghan/ Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________ResourcesPeter's Session: https://www.infosecurityeurope.com/en-gb/conference-programme/session-details.4355.239479.can-my-ai-be-hacked.htmlLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

As Artificial Intelligence reshapes our world, understanding the new threat landscape and how to secure AI-driven systems is more crucial than ever. We spoke to Ankur Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Straiker about navigating this rapidly evolving frontier.In this episode, we unpack the complexities of securing AI, from the fundamental shifts in application architecture to the emerging attack vectors. Discover why Ankur believes "you can only secure AI with AI" and how organizations can prepare for a future where "your imagination is the new limit," but so too are the potential vulnerabilities.Guest Socials - ⁠Ankur's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(00:30) Meet Ankur Shah (CEO, Straiker)(01:54) Current AI Deployments in Organizations (Copilots & Agents)(04:48) AI vs. Traditional Security: Why Old Methods Fail for AI Apps(07:07) AI Application Types: Native, Immigrant & Explorer Explained(10:49) AI's Impact on the Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape(17:34) Ankur Shah on Core AI Security Principles (Visibility, Governance, Guardrails)(22:26) The AI Security Vendor Landscape (Acquisitions & Startups)(24:20) Current AI Security Practices in Organizations: What's Working?(25:42) AI Security & Hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud): Pros & Cons(26:56) What is AI Inference?

Over the last few months, users of Facebook and Instagram may have noticed a new avenue to interact with the platform: Meta AI. The AI tool, similar to language learning models like ChatGPT, X's Grok, and Microsoft's Co-Pilot, is able to carry forward advanced conversations with users and synthesize complex answers based on prompts. Meta has leveraged its AI model to create a wide array of chatbots. Some are officially sanctioned by Meta and feature the voices of celebrities like Kristin Bell and John Cena. Others are created and customized by users. Two weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that they had had hundreds of test conversations with these chatbots over several months. They found that Meta had not prevented some of these chatbots from engaging in sexually explicit conversations with users, even with minor users. In addition, some of these chatbots were based on characters that are themselves minors. This does not appear to be an accident on the part of Meta. Guardrails appear to have been removed or never put in place, with the aim of making the chatbots as engaging and addictive as possible. This is just one example of the challenges that Big Tech and AI have placed before the American people. Here to talk about those challenges  is Wes Hodges, Acting Director of the Center for Technology and the Human Person at The Heritage Foundation. —Follow Wes Hodges on X: https://x.com/wesghodgesWSJ Article on Meta AI Chatbots:https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-ai-chatbots-sex-a25311bfHave thoughts?

Three months into his presidency, Donald Trump has embarked on an unprecedented effort to aggrandize executive power and extend his reach over the judiciary, Congress, the media, and even American culture and society. Perhaps the most alarming aspect has been his battle with the judiciary. The president has called for the impeachment of a federal judge; his executive orders have challenged, if not violated, constitutional norms; and his Justice Department has slow-walked, if not ignored, the rulings of the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court. “Never in history has the country faced such a massive flood the zone strategy,” writes the Carnegie Endowment's President Mariano Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar in Foreign Affairs.  Can the republic's guardrails hold? Other than the courts, what are the constraints on the abuse of presidential power? What role do the markets, the states, the media, and public opinion play? And what are the consequences for America if these guardrails don't hold?Join Aaron David Miller as he engages the Carnegie Endowment's Tino Cuéllar and Harvard's Learned Hand Professor of Law Jack Goldsmith to shed light on how these issues may play out and what their implications are for America's changing place in the world on the next Carnegie Connects. 

Once you decide that yes you CAN make yourself healthy again, it's time to get started in a  place that will give you a strong foundation and quick win. But where? There's a story Debra Adele tells in her book The Yamas and Niyamas about a helpful monkey who grabs a fish out of the water and takes him up into the tree. As the fish dies the monkey laments, “But I saved you from drowning!” Sometimes the things we do for our health seem like they should help but they can actually make it harder for us to succeed in the long term. One of those things is going cold turkey on anything.  It's so tempting to try to change everything all at once. Tempting and unnecessary. And for some people it ends up being an exercise in frustration and failure. When it comes to getting healthy for the long haul what we really want is lifestyle renovation. Just like in any good renovation project the starting place is often with the cleanup. That's our Work IN today. How do we support the changes we want and clear our path to health and fitness results?Most of us have some idea of what is healthy and what isn't, many of us probably have already started introducing some of those things. We might even be aware of the things that we are “supposed” to stop doing in order to be healthier. Some are obvious like smoking, drug or alcohol use, or junk/fast food. There are many ways that our modern lifestyle supports and even rewards unhealthy habits. We're going to look at 3 of these areas and some of the small bite size changes that can lead to big results. As a part of my mission to bring a legacy of resilience through movement, each month you can join me for a hike on the bike trail followed by a free trauma informed vinyasa class back at the studio on Main Street.

Dr. Michael Zargham provides a systems engineering perspective on AI agents, emphasizing accountability structures and the relationship between principals who deploy agents and the agents themselves. In this episode, he brings clarity to the often misunderstood concept of agents in AI by grounding them in established engineering principles rather than treating them as mysterious or elusive entities.Show highlights• Agents should be understood through the lens of the principal-agent relationship, with clear lines of accountability• True validation of AI systems means ensuring outcomes match intentions, not just optimizing loss functions• LLMs by themselves are "high-dimensional word calculators," not agents - agents are more complex systems with LLMs as components• Guardrails provide deterministic constraints ("musts" or "shalls") versus constitutional AI's softer guidance ("shoulds")• Systems engineering approaches from civil engineering and materials science offer valuable frameworks for AI development• Authority and accountability must align - people shouldn't be held responsible for systems they don't have authority to control• The transition from static input-output to closed-loop dynamical systems represents the shift toward truly agentic behavior• Robust agent systems require both exploration (lab work) and exploitation (hardened deployment) phases with different standardsExplore Dr. Zargham's workProtocols and Institutions (Feb 27, 2025)Comments Submitted by BlockScience, University of Washington APL Information Risk and Synthetic Intelligence Research Initiative (IRSIRI), Cognitive Security and Education Forum (COGSEC), and the Active Inference Institute (AII) to the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development National Coordination Office's Request for Comment on The Creation of a National Digital Twins R&D Strategic Plan NITRD-2024-13379 (Aug 8, 2024)What did you think?

In this on-location episode recorded at the RSAC Conference, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down once again with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, to unpack what Zero Trust really looks like in practice—and how organizations can actually get started without feeling buried by complexity.Rather than focusing on theory or buzzwords, Rob lays out a clear path that begins with visibility. “You can't control what you can't see,” he explains. The first step toward Zero Trust is deploying lightweight agents that automatically build a view of the software running across your environment. From there, policies can be crafted to default-deny unknown applications, while still enabling legitimate business needs through controlled exceptions.The Zero Trust Mindset: Assume Breach, Limit AccessRob echoes the federal mandate definition of Zero Trust: assume a breach has already occurred and limit access to only what is needed. This assumption flips the defensive posture from reactive to proactive. It's not about waiting to detect bad behavior—it's about blocking the behavior before it starts.The ThreatLocker approach stands out because it focuses on removing the traditional “heavy lift” often associated with Zero Trust implementations. Rob highlights how some organizations have spent years trying (and failing) to activate overly complex systems, only to end up stuck with unused tools and endless false positives. ThreatLocker's automation is designed to lower that barrier and get organizations to meaningful control faster.Modern Threats, Simplified DefensesAs AI accelerates the creation of polymorphic malware and low-code attack scripts, Zero Trust offers a counterweight. Deny-by-default policies don't require knowing every new threat—just clear guardrails that prevent unauthorized activity, no matter how it's created. Whether it's PowerShell scripts exfiltrating data or AI-generated exploits, proactive controls make it harder for attackers to operate undetected.This episode reframes Zero Trust from an overwhelming project into a series of achievable, common-sense steps. If you're ready to hear what it takes to stop chasing false positives and start building a safer, more controlled environment, this conversation is for you.Learn more about ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer, ThreatLocker | https://www.linkedin.com/in/threatlockerrob/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ThreatLocker: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/threatlockerLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, marco ciappelli, rob allen, zero trust, cybersecurity, visibility, access control, proactive defense, ai threats, policy automation, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More 

What happens when we prioritise innovation over ethics in AI development? For the 100th episode of the Digitally Curious Podcast, Kerry Sheehan, a machine learning specialist with a fascinating journey from journalism to AI policy, explores this critical question as she shares powerful insights on responsible AI implementation.Kerry takes us on a compelling exploration of AI guardrails, comparing them to bowling alley bumpers that prevent technologies from causing harm. Her work with the British Standards Institute has helped establish frameworks rooted in fairness, transparency, and human oversight – creating what she calls "shared language for responsible development" without stifling innovation.The conversation reveals profound insights about diversity in AI development teams. "If the teams building AI systems don't represent those that the end results will serve, it's not ethical," Kerry asserts. She compares bias to bad seasoning that ruins an otherwise excellent recipe, highlighting how diverse perspectives throughout the development lifecycle are essential for creating fair, beneficial systems.Kerry's expertise shines as she discusses emerging ethical challenges in AI, from foundation models to synthetic data and agentic systems. She advocates for guardrails that function as supportive scaffolding rather than restrictive handcuffs – principle-driven frameworks with room for context that allow developers to be agile while maintaining ethical boundaries.What makes this episode particularly valuable are the actionable takeaways: audit your existing AI systems for fairness, develop clear governance frameworks you could confidently explain to others, add ethical reviews to project boards, and include people with diverse lived experiences in your design meetings. These practical steps can help organisations build AI systems that truly work for everyone, not just the privileged few.This is an important conversation about making AI work for humanity rather than against it. Kerry's perspective will transform how you think about responsible technology implementation in your organisation.More informationKerry on LinkedInThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

Abhay is joined by pioneering seed-stage venture capitalist Vani Kola, founder and managing director of Kolaari Capital. They talked about rituals and routines, dealing with ambiguity and guardrails, and how accelerate closing the equity gap for women entrepreneurs in tech.(0:00 - 3:04) Introduction(3:04) Rituals, basic skills and values, anchors(19:01) Dealing with ambiguity as an founder or funder, navigating guardrails(36:07) India as a governance leader in tech, accelerating pathways for women, nostalgia, building trust(55:30) ConclusionSo I'm always eager to learn from leaders who more often than not are able to manage contrasts.  Now contrasts come in all different shapes and forms and they are literally all around us in every professional and personal environment and my hypothesis is that successful leaders find a way maybe through their own journey to manage small and large contrasts with progressively increasing clarity, patience, and purpose. So it was really a treat to share a conversation with Vani Kola, the founder and managing director of Kalaari Capital, an early stage venture capital firm in India.  Vani is originally from Hyderabad, and after an engineering degree, came to the US to complete her Masters and went on to a career as a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley for over two decades.  She then returned to India to pioneer among the first homegrown Indian seed-stage venture firms with Kalaari Capital, using a philosophy that includes recognizing ambitious first-time entrepreneurs and helping them to scale up. Now mind you, she started this at a time in the mid-2000's when opportunities for growth and scale for ecommerce, tech, healthcare and many other sectors in India were at the ripening stage.  Vani has navigated and executed successfully through the endless contrasts of an evolving seed-stage venture ecosystem: new vs old, disruptive revolutions vs steady institutions, profiteering innovation vs collective responsibility, and skepticism vs trust… they're at the core of the face to face conversations that investors and entrepreneurs are having everyday.  Vani has been mentoring, and developing some of India's top founders and unicorn companies, with not just a keen eye on returns, but on the responsibility too to accelerate women as leaders in entrepreneurship, doing it all with a meditative sense of purpose and a growth mindset of sharing (by the way, you really have to check out her great newsletter called Kolaidoscope on LinkedIn). I had met her briefly once when she spoke at a panel discussion on tech and India's future, and it was great to catch up with her again to talk about everything from ambiguity and nostalgia, to the guardrails of tech, policy making, and even what she misses about Silicon Valley.  But we started by chatting about the basics of daily skills and anchors, and especially if she had any self- driving and governing rituals or routines?Thanks again and if you're enjoying these, please don't forget to share this with a friend, take a moment to write a kind review, or drop a line to us at info@abhaydandekar.com.  Again, a big shout out to Indiaspora for being that one of a kind gathering ground for doing good. Remember that conversation is the antidote to apathy and the catalyst for relationship building. 

Boundaries aren't about control — they're about protection.Like guardrails on a mountain road. They don't rob your freedom; they keep you alive to actually reach your destination.If we don't have any theological guardrails, then "truth" becomes whatever I feel at the moment — and that's not a road to God. That's a road to confusion.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth AcademyThe Rorschach God (Book)

#AI: GUARDRAILS AND HALLUCINATIONS. BRANDON WEICHERT, NATIONAL INTEREST. 1954

Gary concludes his response to a recent video discussion about his eschatological views. The host references a book that refers to the creeds and confessions as "guardrails" that keep biblical exegesis within the "bounds" of orthodoxy. In reality, they are elevating the creeds (at least the ones they recognize as authoritative) above what the Bible actually says.
