Title: “These Aren't Soft Skills — They're Human Skills”A Post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 Conversation with Rob Black and Anthony D'AltonGuestsRob BlackUK Cyber Citizen of the Year 2024 | International Keynote Speaker | Master of Ceremonies | Cyber Leaders Challenge | Professor | Community Builder | Facilitator | Cyber Security | Cyber Deceptionhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-black-30440819/Anthony D'AltonProduct marketing | brand | reputation for cybersecurity growthhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonydalton/HostsSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, CMO, and Creative Director at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________ Yes, Infosecurity Europe 2025 may be over, but the most important conversations are just getting started — and they're far from over. In this post-event follow-up, Marco Ciappelli reconnects from Florence with Rob Black and brings in Anthony D'Alton for a deep-dive into something we all talk about but rarely define clearly: so-called soft skills — or, as we prefer to call them… human skills.From storytelling to structured exercises, team communication to burnout prevention, this episode explores how communication, collaboration, and trust aren't just “nice to have” in cybersecurity — they're critical, measurable capabilities. Rob and Anthony share their experience designing real-world training environments where people — not just tools — are the difference-makers in effective incident response and security leadership.Whether you're a CISO, a SOC leader, or just tired of seeing tech get all the credit while humans carry the weight, this is a practical, honest conversation about building better teams — and redefining what really matters in cybersecurity today.If you still think “soft skills” are soft… you haven't been paying attention.⸻Keywords: Cybersecurity, Infosecurity Europe 2025, Soft Skills, Human Skills, Cyber Resilience, Cyber Training, Security Leadership, Incident Response, Teamwork, Storytelling in Cyber, Marco Ciappelli, Rob Black, Anthony Dalton, On Location, ITSPmagazine, Communication Skills, Cyber Crisis Simulation, RangeForce, Trust in Teams, Post Event Podcast, Security Culture___________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?

Don't miss this eye-opening discussion on how to protect your organization from the ever-evolving threat landscape.

Guests: Kirstie Failey @ Google Threat Intelligence Group Scott Runnels @ Mandiant Incident Response   Topics: What is the hardest thing about turning distinct incident reports into a fun to read and useful report like M-Trends? How much are the lessons and recommendations skewed by the fact that they are all “post-IR” stories? Are “IR-derived” security lessons the best way to improve security? Isn't this a bit like learning how to build safely from fires vs learning safety engineering? The report implies that F500 companies suffer from certain security issues despite their resources, does this automatically mean that smaller companies suffer from the same but more? "Dwell time" metrics sound obvious, but is there magic behind how this is done? Sometimes “dwell tie going down” is not automatically the defender's win, right? What is the expected minimum dwell time? If “it depends”, then what does it  depend on? Impactful outliers vs general trends (“by the numbers”), what teaches us more about security? Why do we seem to repeat the mistakes so much in security? Do we think it is useful to give the same advice repeatedly if the data implies that it is correct advice but people clearly do not do it?

LevelBlue's latest Threat Trends Report pulls no punches: phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks are not just continuing—they're accelerating. In this episode of ITSPmagazine's Brand Story podcast, hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli are joined by Kenneth Ng, a threat hunter and lead incident responder on LevelBlue's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team, to unpack the findings and recommendations from the report.Phishing as a Service and the Surge in Email CompromisesOne of the most alarming trends highlighted by Kenneth is the widespread availability of Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) kits, including names like RaccoonO365, Mamba 2FA, and Greatness. These kits allow attackers with little to no technical skill to launch sophisticated campaigns that bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) by hijacking session tokens. With phishing attacks now leading to full enterprise compromises, often through seemingly innocuous Microsoft 365 access, the threat is more serious than ever.Malware Is Smarter, Simpler—and It's Spreading FastMalware, particularly fake browser updates and credential stealers like Lumma Stealer, is also seeing a rise in usage. Kenneth points out the troubling trend of malware campaigns that rely on basic user interactions—like copying and pasting text—leading to full compromise through PowerShell or command prompt access. Basic group policy configurations (like blocking script execution for non-admin users) are still underutilized defenses.Ransomware: Faster and More Automated Than EverThe speed of ransomware attacks has increased dramatically. Kenneth shares real-world examples where attackers go from initial access to full domain control in under an hour—sometimes in as little as ten minutes—thanks to automation, remote access tools, and credential harvesting.

In this episode, we sit with security leader and venture investor Sergej Epp to discuss the Cloud-native Security Landscape. Sergej currently serves as the Global CISO and Executive at Cloud Security leader Sysdig and is a Venture Partner at Picus Capital. We will dive into some insights from Sysdig's recent "2025 Cloud-native Security and Usage Report."Big shout out to our episode sponsor, Yubico!Passwords aren't enough. Cyber threats are evolving, and attackers bypass weak authentication every day. YubiKeys provides phishing-resistant security for individuals and businesses—fast, frictionless, and passwordless.Upgrade your security:https://yubico.comSergj and I dove into a lot of great topics related to Cloud-native Security, including:Some of the key trends in the latest Sysdig 2025 Cloud-native Security Report and trends that have stayed consistent YoY. Sergj points out that while attackers have stayed consistent, organizations have and continue to make improvements to their securitySergj elaborated on his current role as Sysdig's internal CISO and his prior role as a field CISO and the differences between the two roles in terms of how you interact with your organization, customers, and the community.We unpacked the need for automated Incident Response, touching on how modern cloud-native attacks can happen in as little as 10 minutes and how organizations can and do struggle without sufficient visibility and the ability to automate their incident response.The report points out that machine identities, or Non-Human Identities (NHI), are 7.5 times riskier than human identities and that there are 40,000 times more of them to manage. This is a massive problem and gap for the industry, and Sergj and I walked through why this is a challenge and its potential risks.Vulnerability prioritization continues to be crucial, with the latest Sysdig report showing that just 6% of vulnerabilities are “in-use”, or reachable. Still, container bloat has ballooned, quintupling in the last year alone. This presents real problems as organizations continue to expand their attack surface with expanded open-source usage but struggle to determine what vulnerabilities truly present risks and need to be addressed.We covered the challenges with compliance, as organizations wrestle with multiple disparate compliance frameworks, and how compliance can drive better security but also can have inverse impacts when written poorly or not keeping pace with technologies and threats.We rounded out the conversation with discussing AI/ML packages and the fact they have grown by 500% when it comes to usage, but organizations have decreased public exposure of AI/ML workloads by 38% since the year prior, showing some improvements are being made to safeguarding AI workloads from risks as well.

eSentire, a leading global Managed Detection and Response (MDR) cybersecurity services provider, has announced that it has awarded the annual "Sean Hennessy Bursary" to Munster Technological University (MTU)computer science student, James Spillane. This year, eSentire is also celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the opening of its international headquarters and Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Cork, Ireland. eSentire established the Sean Hennessy Bursary award in 2021, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at MTU, in response to Ireland's growing cybersecurity skills shortage. According to Cyber Ireland's 2024 Security Snapshot Report, the cybersecurity industry employs approximately 8,000 professionals in Ireland, an increase of 8% since 2022. The Sean Hennessy Bursary provides college financial aid, as well as the opportunity to participate in a nine-month internship with eSentire. The scholarship is named in honour of the late Sean Hennessy, a former eSentire team member who was instrumental in establishing and managing eSentire's Global SOC in Cork in 2015. Sean Hennessy passed away in 2016. This is the fourth year that the Sean Hennessy Bursary has been awarded to a MTU student. Impressively, the three previous recipients of the award are all currently employed with eSentire's Global SOC in Cork, Ireland. Each of them has reached various stages of eSentire's Career Development Program, which fosters and supports security analysts' growth through attainment of internal and external certifications, mentoring and progression. "I am delighted and honoured to have been selected as this year's recipient of the Sean Hennessy Bursary," said James Spillane, 2025 eSentire Sean Hennessy Bursary winner. "I would like to sincerely thank everyone at eSentire for this incredible opportunity to further explore the fascinating world of cybersecurity, which is a passion and interest of mine. I am also grateful to MTU for their support and guidance through my studies. Receiving this award is an honour and a fulfilling achievement, I want to thank everyone involved for this prestigious opportunity." eSentire has been protecting organisations from known and unknown cyber threats for 20+ years, providing complete attack surface coverage on premises and in the cloud.

At ThreatLocker Zero Trust World 2025 in Orlando, Art Ocain, VP of Cybersecurity & Incident Response at Airiam, shared valuable insights into applying zero trust principles to incident response. The conversation, hosted by Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, highlighted the critical role of zero trust in preparing for and managing security incidents.The Zero Trust Mindset in Incident Response Ocain discussed how zero trust methodology—embracing the principles of "assume breach" and "always verify, never trust"—can significantly enhance incident response strategies. Instead of merely securing the perimeter or endpoints, his approach involves identifying and protecting core systems through micro-segmentation and robust identity management. By securing each component individually, organizations can minimize the impact of potential breaches.For example, Ocain described a scenario where segmenting a SQL server from an application server could prevent data loss during an attack. Even if an application server is compromised, critical data remains secure, allowing quicker recovery and continuity of operations.Dynamic Containment Strategies Ocain emphasized the importance of dynamic containment when responding to incidents. Traditional methods, such as using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, are effective for forensic analysis but may not stop active threats quickly. Instead, he advocated for an "allow list only" approach that restricts access to systems and data, effectively containing threats while maintaining critical business functions.In practice, when Ocain is called into a crisis, he often implements a deny-by-default solution to isolate compromised systems. This strategy allows him to perform forensics and bring systems back online selectively, ensuring threat actors cannot access recovered systems.Balancing Security with Business Needs A significant challenge in adopting zero trust is gaining executive buy-in. Ocain noted that executive teams often push back against zero trust measures, either out of a desire for convenience or because of misconceptions about its impact on business culture. His approach involves demonstrating real-world scenarios where zero trust could mitigate damage during breaches. By focusing on critical systems and showing the potential consequences of compromised identities or systems, Ocain effectively bridges the gap between security and business priorities.A Cultural Shift Toward Security The discussion also touched on the cultural shift required to fully integrate zero trust into an organization. Zero trust is not just a technological framework but a mindset that influences how every employee views access and security. Through scenario-driven exercises and engaging executive teams early in the process, Ocain helps organizations transition from a "department of no" mentality to a collaborative, security-first culture.Listen to the full episode to explore more strategies on implementing zero trust in incident response and how to align security initiatives with business goals.Guest: Art Ocain, VP of Cybersecurity & Incident Response at Airiam | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/artocain/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ZTW 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/zero-trust-world-2025-cybersecurity-and-zero-trust-event-coverage-orlando-floridaRegister for Zero Trust World 2025: https://itspm.ag/threat5mu1____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
