Universities are also getting special attention, with new student guides and tailored experiences to help emerging professionals find their place in the ecosystem.Tackling Today's and Tomorrow's Threats—From Quantum to GeopoliticsInfosecurity Europe 2024 is not shying away from bold topics. Professor Brian Cox will open the event by exploring the intersection of quantum science and cybersecurity, setting the tone for a future-facing agenda. Immediately following, BBC's Joe Tidy will moderate a session on how organizations can prepare for the cryptographic disruption quantum computing could bring. Rory Stewart will bring a geopolitical lens to the conversation, examining how shifting alliances, global trade tensions, and international conflicts are reshaping the threat landscape and influencing cybersecurity priorities across regions.Maximizing the Experience: Prep, Participate, and PartyFrom hands-on tech demos to peer-led table talks and new formats like the AI and Cloud Security Theater, the show is designed to be navigable—even for first-time attendees. Saima emphasizes preparation, networking, and follow-up as keys to success, with a new content download feature helping attendees retain insights post-event. The celebration culminates with a 90s-themed 30th anniversary party and a strong sense of pride in what this event has helped the community build—and protect—over three decades.The message is clear: cybersecurity is no longer just a technical field—it's a societal one.___________Guest: Geoff White, Author, Speaker, Investigative Journalist, Podcast Creator | https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffwhitetech/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___________ResourcesLearn 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?

Integrity First: The Human Cost of Unethical Business.

E-commerce sites like Temu and Shein might not be quite as cheap as they were a week ago now that tariffs are kicking in on even small-dollar imports. But these platforms known for selling low-cost goods from China have also sought to cut costs on delivery.They contract in the U.S. with companies like UniUni, which promises to dispatch packages for $3 or less — well below the industry standard. How UniUni delivers on those low rates is the subject of a recent investigation by reporter Theo Wayt at The Information. He tells Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino that drivers are hired through a network of subcontractors and UniUni pays them per item rather than an hourly wage.

Every organization lives by the tick‑tock of two very different clocks. One chimes for high‑stakes combat—markets shift, cash burns, competitors flank, and you need a battlefield general with nerves of graphene. The other hums softly during seasons of scale—culture building, process refinement, margin polishing—where a master gardener coaxes growth instead of charging hills.In this episode of The E1B2 Collective Podcast, we slice through the platitudes and timestamp the moments that matter:Dawn Patrol vs. Dusk Patrol – How to read leading indicators (burn rate, churn spikes, regulatory headwinds) that signal it's time to swap diplomacy for trench warfare—or vice versa.The 90‑Day Switchboard – A pragmatic framework for CEOs and boards to audit leadership fit every quarter, so you're never caught with a peacekeeper holding a bayonet or a field marshal pruning roses.Temperament & Toolkit – We map the mindsets, decision cadences, and communication styles that separate wartime titans from peacetime architects—and why forcing one to play the other is a morale grenade.The Human Cost of Mistiming – Case‑study flashbacks where staying too long in either mode gutted culture, torched innovation, or vaporized cash (names masked to protect the guilty).Bridge Commanders – Strategies for grooming “switch‑hitters” who can storm the beach at dawn and host the peace summit by dusk—plus why they're rarer than unicorns riding comets.Expect blunt truths, clever quips, and just enough lyrical swagger to keep your earbuds smiling. Whether you're staring down a market blitz or basking in steady‑state profitability, tune in to master the art—and timing—of putting the right leader in the right seat before the bell tolls.

Shetland, Scotland native and independent journalist Jen Stout was in Russia in late February 2022 when the war with Ukraine broke out and quickly left for a border post in southern Romania to cover the great flood of refugees who were fleeing the fighting. Weeks later she entered Ukraine to report first-hand from the front lines and cities across the country. A writer with a great sense of empathy, Jen's main interest was not military strategy or international politics, but the Ukrainian people – their indomitable spirit, their poetic sensibilities  their hopes and fears. Her perspective is from the ground and her stories are filed from night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers. Her very moving book is entitled: “Night Train to Odessa: Covering the  Human Cost of the Russia's War.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Can we detect cancer so early such that we find the very first cell of cancer? Not just stage 1 cancer, but the first cell of cancer.In this episode, Dr. Michael Levin and I speak with Dr. Azra Raza. She is an oncologist pioneering early detection of cancer using electric signals. So far, our best solution to curing cancer has been to detect it early, and she wants to take this further, by nipping cancer at the very first cell.Her story with cancer is also deeply personal as she lost her husband to the disease. You can see in the episode how much she cares about solving cancer through early detection, and how aggrieved she is about the fact that not only have we made zero progress on cancer in the last 100 years, but doctors are also not focused on cancer prevention.Dr. Raza is also the author of the book The First Cell: And the Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last.Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/arazaFind me: https://x.com/aasthajs My longevity products: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/2024TIMESTAMPS:0:00 New theory of cancer1:45 What causes cancer? 5:39 Hybrid cells in cancer 11:16 Why do cancer cells become immortal?14:14 Detecting the first cell of cancer17:09 Stress causes cancer cells to fuse21:40 Cancer drugs don't work universally25:54 Personalization of early cancer detection29:29 Detect cancer early using electrics35:46 Anguish of cancer patients39:06 Cancer progress hasn't moved in 100 years44:04 Doctors don't think of cancer prevention46:54 First Cell Therapeutics - Azra's company50:55 What is the first cell stage of cancer?54:55 Advice for cancer patientsAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:Twitter: https://x.com/aasthajs Newsletter: https://livelongerworld.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aasthajs/LINKS:Michael Levin: https://twitter.com/drmichaellevinAzra Raza: https://azraraza.com/Azra Raza book The First Cell: https://amzn.to/4jGJzoJEpisode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/arazaRELATED EPISODES:Keto & Metabolic Therapy for Cancer | Dr. Thomas Seyfried: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7tYdjcJ3G4tqbAx9Z6Bix2?si=gboyPAiLQrqg-y5YEKQiQQWhy Viruses Could Be the Cause of Chronic Disease | Dr. Paul Ewald: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OdYInlzTy2zG3Mi6TgADY?si=Gnbg7efNSy21bS3q0c23jg

On October 28, 2015, Jeanne Carstensen was reporting as a foreign correspondent covering the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe when she witnessed a devastating boat accident. After nearly a decade of research and investigation, Carstensen recounts the events of that day, with firsthand accounts from not only the desperate refugees, but also the heroic islanders who did their best to help.  Of her book A Greek Tragedy: One Day, A Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis, she says, “I wrote this book because I believe we need to pay attention to the human impacts of our migration policies. Increasingly, we are militarizing boarders, building more fences, and criminalizing those who try to help. I hope A Greek Tragedy will serve to wake us up; my hope is that we will not turn away.” Organizer: Frank Price   An International Relations Member-led Forum program.

Tourists are flooding to Cambodia's "8th wonder of the world," the ancient temple complex at Angkor. But the rapid expansion of the site comes at a terrible cost, as tens of thousands of people are ousted. The authorities call some "illegal squatters" and claim others volunteered to leave. But human rights groups say the evictions are forced, illegal and target families who've worked the land for generations. Many say they're now debt-ridden and struggling to survive. Jill McGivering travelled to Angkor to meet those at the heart of the crisis.

In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the harrowing events of the 1984 Brighton Hotel bombing. The episode begins by setting the political backdrop of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, detailing the complex conflict between unionists and republicans. The narrative then focuses on the bombing itself, aimed at the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who narrowly escaped. The meticulous planning carried out by IRA operative Patrick McGee is examined, along with the devastating impact of the blast, which killed five people and injured thirty-four others. The episode also highlights the subsequent investigation that led to McGee's capture and conviction. Moving beyond the immediate aftermath, the discussion explores the heightened security measures implemented in Britain and the ongoing debates about the balance between security and civil liberties. A poignant segment of the episode narrates the remarkable story of reconciliation between Joe Barry, daughter of one of the victims, and Patrick McGee, symbolizing the potential for forgiveness and understanding in the quest for peace. Through in-depth analysis and emotional storytelling, this episode provides valuable insights into the complexities of political violence, the human cost of conflict, and the enduring hope for a future free from violence.00:00 Introduction to the Brighton Hotel Bombing00:15 Understanding The Troubles01:03 The IRA and the Attack on Margaret Thatcher02:36 Details of the Brighton Hotel Bombing04:00 The Human Cost and Immediate Aftermath05:24 Investigation and Arrest of Patrick McGee06:14 Trial and Sentencing of Patrick McGee06:39 Impact on British Society and Security07:22 The Good Friday Agreement and McGee's Release08:12 Joe Barry's Remarkable Journey Towards Forgiveness13:14 Final Reflections and Security Changes14:55 Conclusion and Upcoming Episodes Hosted on Acast.

“People in the animal welfare world, I think, should broaden their purview to the human parts of it and sort of work in coalition. Like if you can really expose the labor conditions, you're weakening the industry, and if you can increase labor regulations, if you can make it to where workers don't routinely get repetitive stress injuries and they're not breathing in harsh chemicals, and if you slow the kill line down, that hits their profits and you are weakening the industry. And, also remember, this industry doesn't just slaughter billions of animals a year, it also makes life hell for the people who work in it. Expand your level of solidarity to those people.” – Tom Philpott     This is the third episode in a special for part series, where we go deep into the food system with some of the brightest minds at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. In this episode, we dive into one of the many hidden and hideous aspects of our food system: the exploitation of workers in industrial meat production. Tom Philpott is a senior research associate at the Center. He joined in 2022 after a distinguished three-decade career in journalism, reporting on the injustices and ecological ramifications of the industrial food system. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Perilous Bounty. I asked Tom to shed some light on the grueling conditions faced by meatpacking workers, from dangerous line spades to repetitive injuries and the shocking lack of basic protections, and even though much of this was exposed during the covid 19 pandemic, to explain how it's all still happening. Tom also hosts the Center for a Livable Future's podcast, it's called Unconfined. It's really good. Take a listen to learn a whole lot more about the impacts of food animal production.   Links Center for a Livable Future: https://clf.jhsph.edu/ Tom Philpott: https://www.tomphilpott.net/ Perilous Bounty: https://bookshop.org/p/books/perilous-bounty-the-looming-collapse-of-american-farming-and-how-we-can-prevent-it-tom-philpott/8555300?ean=9781635578454&gclid=Cj0KCQjw48OaBhDWARIsAMd966DtJTjYQl6nh5J9Gk9ib9f3SXgKnCfTwujd-YMhRK-UC1X-ihdAiyIaAsm3EALw_wcB Unconfined Podcast: https://clf.jhsph.edu/unconfined-podcast

Earlier this month, Brian Thompson, CEO of the health insurance company United Healthcare, was murdered in New York City. In the media, there was an outpouring of support for Thompson's family. On social media, there was an outpouring of support for the shooter. Today, guest host Morgan Lavoie talks to award-winning writer Jia Tolentino about how such starkly different reactions took root, what Thompson's death means to America, and whether the health insurance system can change.

Last week, the press focused on what the press repeatedly characterized as an “ugly” fight between American college football players that broke out after the University of Michigan beat The Ohio State. But another story received less attention. Medrick Burnett Jr., a 20 year old from Southern California was playing his first season as a linebacker with Alabama A&M University when he sustained a head injury during the annual Magic City Classic against in-state rivals Alabama State University on Oct. 26. A month later, Burnett died. Today's Postscript features two prominent scholars of sports raising questions about the hypocrisy of blaming players for a fight yet downplaying the death caused by playing by the rules. This remarkable conversation includes an unpacking of the “consent” to physical, psychological, and economic impacts, insight into the Foucauldian elements of discipline, punishment, and surveillance, and concrete reform suggestions for all people who watch football and/or work at universities. This nuanced conversation is for those who love or loathe football as a college sport.

The UN chief, Antonio Guterres, has told the COP climate summit in Azerbaijan that to double down on the use of fossil fuels is "absurd" and that the "clean energy revolution" has arrived. However, the host, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, described his country's reserves of oil and gas as "a gift from God". We speak to a woman in Canada's Nova Scotia province whose six-year-old son was killed by flash floods linked to climate change. Also in the programme: the leader of the Anglican Church - the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby - has resigned, after a report found he failed to do enough to stop a prolific child abuser; and the female magician who tricked her way into Britain's all-male Magic Circle club, but who has since disappeared.(Picture: People embrace as they stand near damage to a road, after the heaviest rain to hit the Canadian province of Nova Scotia in more than 50 years triggered floods on July 23, 2023.
