Podcasts about Ivanti

Rational thinking might drive economics, but emotional behavior drives decisions. And no one understands that better than Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational, a book that's reshaped our assumptions about how people make decisions.In this episode, we're unpacking key lessons from Dan Ariely's work with the help of our special guest, Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from setting the right expectations, why fewer choices close more deals, and how the power of “free” and fear of loss can drive serious retention.About our guest, Leslie AloreAs the SVP of Marketing, Leslie Alore leads Flexera's marketing strategy with an aim to create great experiences and outcomes for our customers.Her passion for people and technology—combined with more than 15 years of marketing leadership in the tech space—has established her as a successful, results-driven executive who enables teams to do their best work.Prior to joining Flexera, Leslie served as the Global SVP of Lifecycle Marketing at Ivanti. Before that, she held various marketing, operations and GTM strategy roles at Iron Mountain. Leslie is an active speaker and mentor in the GTM community, and has been recognized among “Top Women in Marketing” by Ragan Communications and “Women of the Channel” by CRN.Leslie holds a BBA in Management, and an MBA with a concentration in Strategic Leadership from Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Predictably Irrational:Set expectations to shape reality. Great marketing doesn't just reflect value, it creates the conditions for it. Leslie highlights how expectations shape reality. When buyers believe something is good, they interpret every detail through that lens. This isn't about manipulation, it's about clarity and consistency. Leslie says, “The effect of expectations… believing beforehand something is good, therefore it will be or the reverse.” So stop hoping your audience connects the dots. Tell them what to expect, then deliver on it. Perception isn't a bonus, it's the foundation.Shrink your options to speed the decision. Too many options stall progress. The paradox of choice tells us more isn't better, it's paralyzing. Leslie urges marketers to curate the path forward: “You actually want to give people fewer options and take control of the options that they see.” Don't just join the shortlist, define it. When you narrow the frame, you speed up the decision for your customers. Turn “free” into staying power with loss aversion. There's magic in “free,” but the real power lies in what people fear losing. Once someone uses your product, whether it's a freemium tool or an ungated resource, they've invested. Now there's skin in the game. Leslie puts it simply, “People will overvalue something that's free and ignore kind of the trade-off costs associated. And loss is psychologically painful. We don't want to lose that, which we already have.” Whether you offer software, content, or services, create early wins. Then make the cost of leaving feel higher than the cost of staying.Quotes*“ There's many organizations that lean into that power of positivity…What's very interesting is that consumer brands do this a lot very, very well. B2B organizations tend to do almost the opposite. They tend to lean more into FUD. And that's a harder road to tread.”*“ If you're an organization that is selling software, the software is designed to provide a business outcome. It's designed to solve a business problem. Instead of focusing on, here's the business problem. Doesn't that suck for you? You can say, ‘here's the solution.*“You have the power, you can feel confident about your ability to achieve X, Y, Z because you've solved this problem.' It's saying the same thing, but orienting it in a positive way and being very, very, very consistent in that message. Beat that drum over and over and over again.”*“ Narrow down the competitive options for them. Your sales process will move faster. You will be able to take better control of the narrative if you say, ‘this is us and these are the two other vendors that look like us. And here's why we are different and better, and here's what you can expect from these guys.' And that doesn't mean saying negative things about them.  It's just highlighting your strengths and your virtues.”*“People are willing to accept trade-offs for something that is perceived to be free…This is the exact reason that PLG, product-led growth, is so powerful. Because if you can get people in the door with some sort of freemium offering, people will actually work harder to do the legwork to get a free product to work and interact with it, than they might be willing to put in for something that they have to go pay for. And then once they have it and they've put in the work, they don't wanna lose it.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera[00:56] Why Predictably Irrational?[02:20] The Role of SVP of Marketing at Flexera[02:47] Understanding Predictably Irrational[09:56] B2B Marketing Lessons from Predictably Irrational[37:49] Cognitive Dissonance in Buying Behavior[42:17] Emotional Marketing in B2B[46:18] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Leslie on LinkedInLearn more about FlexeraAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Top-performing IT solution providers are experiencing record profitability, achieving over 19% adjusted profit margins for the fifth consecutive year, despite a slowdown in revenue growth. The latest report from Service Leadership indicates that while managed service providers (MSPs) saw revenue growth of only 7.1% in 2024, their adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew at a more robust rate of 13%. This trend highlights the importance of operational maturity and cost control as key drivers of profitability in the industry, suggesting that MSPs should focus on enhancing their operational processes rather than solely pursuing top-line growth.The podcast also discusses the rising use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among office workers, with nearly half utilizing tools not provided by their employers. This covert usage raises concerns about data privacy and compliance with company policies. A report from Ivanti reveals that 42% of employees are using AI in their daily tasks, a significant increase from the previous year. The discussion emphasizes the need for organizations to prioritize data quality and governance, as the responsibility for data modeling shifts to operational layers where real-time decisions are made.Google is making significant changes to its search engine, introducing an AI Mode Search Engine tool that will provide AI-generated responses instead of traditional links. This shift could fundamentally alter how users access information, posing challenges for IT service providers and content creators who rely on traditional SEO strategies. The integration of AI into search engines raises questions about the future of content discovery and the potential erosion of Google's dominance as the default search engine, especially with Apple considering AI-driven search options for its Safari browser.Arctic Wolf has announced an increase in its security operations warranty to $3 million, the largest in the industry, aimed at enhancing customer trust and positioning its endpoint security solutions as enterprise-grade. This move reflects a growing trend among vendors to share risk with clients, emphasizing the importance of trust in a competitive market. The podcast concludes by highlighting the need for IT service providers to adapt to these changes, focusing on shared risk and high assurance as key selling points in a rapidly evolving landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 Top IT Providers Maintain 19%+ Profit Margins for Fifth Year as Valuations Soar03:12 As Employees Go Rogue with AI, Poor Data and Bad Prompts Threaten Reliability and Trust07:53 Google's AI Push Redefines Information Discovery—Content Creators and IT Firms Brace for Fallout12:18 With $3M on the Line, Arctic Wolf Turns Warranty into a Sales Weapon Supported by:  https://syncromsp.com/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Forecast = Cloudy with a chance of zero-days-watch for Spellbinder storms and scattered Git leaks! ‍ On this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, the crew dives into the fast-moving world of vulnerability tracking and threat intelligence, spotlighting how defenders are moving beyond the traditional CVE system to keep pace with real-world attacks. The show kicks off with a look at the latest listener poll, always a source of lively debate, before jumping into some of the most pressing cybersecurity stories of the week. A major focus of this episode is the recent revelation that a China-aligned APT group, dubbed TheWizards, is using a tool called Spellbinder to abuse IPv6 SLAAC for adversary-in-the-middle attacks. This technique lets attackers move laterally through networks by hijacking software update mechanisms-specifically targeting popular Chinese applications like Sogou Pinyin and Tencent QQ-to deliver malicious payloads such as the modular WizardNet backdoor. The crew unpacks how this approach leverages IPv6's stateless address autoconfiguration to intercept and redirect legitimate traffic, underscoring the evolving sophistication of lateral movement techniques in targeted campaigns. The episode then turns to Google's 2024 zero-day exploitation analysis, which reports a drop in the total number of zero-days exploited compared to last year but highlights a worrying shift: attackers are increasingly targeting enterprise products and infrastructure. Microsoft, Ivanti, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco are among the most targeted vendors, with nearly half of all zero-day exploits now aimed at enterprise systems and network appliances. The discussion covers how attackers are chaining vulnerabilities for more impactful breaches and why defenders need to be vigilant as threat actors pivot to harder-to-monitor enterprise environments. Censys is in the spotlight for its recent research and tooling, including a new Ports & Protocols Dashboard that gives organizations granular visibility into their attack surface across all ports and protocols. This helps teams quickly spot risky exposures and misconfigurations, making it easier to prioritize remediation efforts and automate alerting for high-risk assets. The crew also highlights Censys's collaborative work on botnet hunting and their ongoing push to retire stale threat indicators, all of which are reshaping proactive defense strategies. runZero's latest insights emphasize the importance of prioritizing risks at the asset stack level, not just by CVE. The crew explains how misconfigurations, outdated software, and weak network segmentation can create stacked risks that traditional scanners might miss, urging listeners to adopt a more holistic approach to asset management and vulnerability prioritization. Rounding out the episode, GreyNoise shares new research on a dramatic spike in scanning for Ivanti Connect Secure VPNs and a surge in crawling activity targeting Git configuration files. These trends highlight the persistent risk of codebase exposure and the critical need to secure developer infrastructure, as exposed Git configs can lead to the leak of sensitive credentials and even entire codebases. As always, the show wraps up with some final thoughts and goodbyes, leaving listeners with actionable insights and a reminder to stay vigilant in the face of rapidly evolving cyber threats. If you have questions or want to hear more about any of these topics, let us know-what's on your mind this week? Storm Watch Homepage >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>  

Matt Lin (Senior Incident Response Consultant, Mandiant) and Daniel Spicer (Chief Security Officer, Ivanti) dive into the research and response of UNC5221's campaigns against Ivanti. They cover how this threat actor has evolved from earlier campaigns, the continued focus of edge infrastructure by APT actors, and the shared responsibility of security in mitigating threats like this. https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/china-nexus-exploiting-critical-ivanti-vulnerabilityhttps://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/ivanti-connect-secure-vpn-zero-dayhttps://www.ivanti.com/blog/an-update-on-ivantis-ongoing-commitment-to-enhanced-product-securityhttps://www.ivanti.com/resources/secure-by-design/2024https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/2024-zero-day-trends?e=48754805

Forecast = Scattered phishing attempts with a 90% chance of encrypted clouds. ‍ In this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, the crew dissects the evolving vulnerability tracking landscape and the challenges facing defenders as they move beyond the aging CVE system. The show also highlights the rise of sophisticated bot traffic, the expansion of GreyNoise's Global Observation Grid, and fresh tools from VulnCheck and Censys that are helping security teams stay ahead of real-time threats. In our listener poll this week, we ask: what would you do if you found a USB stick? It's a classic scenario that always sparks debate about curiosity versus caution in cybersecurity. It's officially cyber report season, and we're breaking down the latest findings from some of the industry's most influential threat intelligence teams. GreyNoise's new research spotlights the growing risk from resurgent vulnerabilities-those old flaws that go quiet for years before suddenly making a comeback, often targeting edge devices like routers and VPNs. The FBI's 2024 IC3 report is out, revealing a record $16.6 billion in reported losses last year, with phishing, extortion, and business email compromise topping the charts. Mandiant's M-Trends 2025, VulnCheck's Q1 exploitation trends, and other reports all point to a relentless pace of vulnerability weaponization, with nearly a third of new CVEs being exploited within 24 hours of disclosure. We also dig into a series of ace blog posts and research from Censys, including their push to end stale indicators and their deep dives into the sharp rise in attacks targeting edge security devices. Their recent work with GreyNoise and CursorAI on botnet hunting, as well as their new threat hunting module, are changing the game for proactive defense. VulnCheck's quarterly report is raising eyebrows with the revelation that 159 vulnerabilities were exploited in Q1 2025 alone, and 28% of those were weaponized within a single day of disclosure. This underscores how quickly attackers are operationalizing new exploits and why defenders need to move faster than ever. We round out the show with the latest from runZero and a look at GreyNoise's recent findings, including a ninefold surge in Ivanti Connect Secure scanning and a spike in Git configuration crawling-both of which highlight the ongoing risk of codebase exposure and the need for continuous vigilance.

At a time when DE&I initiatives are facing increasing hostility, it's more important than ever to highlight the real value of inclusive hiring. Beyond being the right thing to do, inclusive hiring broadens talent pools, fosters innovation, and ensures that organizations tap into the full spectrum of people's skills and potential.
