Podcast appearances and mentions of kathleen fisher

During RSAC Conference 2025, Andrew Carney, Program Manager at DARPA, and (remotely via video) Dr. Kathleen Fisher, Professor at Tufts University and Program Manager for the AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), guide attendees through an immersive experience called Northbridge—a fictional city designed to showcase the critical role of AI in securing infrastructure through the DARPA-led AI Cyber Challenge.Inside Northbridge: The Stakes Are RealNorthbridge simulates the future of cybersecurity, blending AI, infrastructure, and human collaboration. It's not just a walkthrough — it's a call to action. Through simulated attacks on water systems, healthcare networks, and cyber operations, visitors witness firsthand the tangible impacts of vulnerabilities in critical systems. Dr. Fisher emphasizes that the AI Cyber Challenge isn't theoretical: the vulnerabilities competitors find and fix directly apply to real open-source software relied on by society today.The AI Cyber Challenge: Pairing Generative AI with Cyber ReasoningThe AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) invites teams from universities, small businesses, and consortiums to create cyber reasoning systems capable of autonomously identifying and fixing vulnerabilities. Leveraging leading foundation models from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, the teams operate with tight constraints—working with limited time, compute, and LLM credits—to uncover and patch vulnerabilities at scale. Remarkably, during semifinals, teams found and fixed nearly half of the synthetic vulnerabilities, and even discovered a real-world zero-day in SQLite.Building Toward DEFCON Finals and BeyondThe journey doesn't end at RSA. As the teams prepare for the AIxCC finals at DEFCON 2025, DARPA is increasing the complexity of the challenge—and the available resources. Beyond the competition, a core goal is public benefit: all cyber reasoning systems developed through AIxCC will be open-sourced under permissive licenses, encouraging widespread adoption across industries and government sectors.From Competition to CollaborationCarney and Fisher stress that the ultimate victory isn't in individual wins, but in strengthening cybersecurity collectively. Whether securing hospitals, water plants, or financial institutions, the future demands cooperation across public and private sectors.The Northbridge experience offers a powerful reminder: resilience in cybersecurity is built not through fear, but through innovation, collaboration, and a relentless drive to secure the systems we all depend on.___________Guest: Andrew Carney, AI Cyber Challenge Program Manager, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-carney-945458a6/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-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesThe DARPA AIxCC Experience at RSAC 2025 Innovation Sandbox: https://www.rsaconference.com/usa/programs/sandbox/darpaLearn more and catch more stories from RSAC Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25___________KEYWORDSandrew carney, kathleen fisher, marco ciappelli, sean martin, darpa, aixcc, cybersecurity, rsac 2025, defcon, ai cybersecurity, event coverage, on location, conference______________________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

As we redouble the global fight against AIDS, and prepare for future pandemics, we ask what can we the harm reduction movement to reduce HIV infection in people who inject drugs teach us?---A Shot in the Arm Podcast Webpage - http://www.ashotinthearmpodcast.comFacebook: @shotarmpodcast - http://bit.ly/asita_fbvideosYouTube: @shotarmpodcast - http://bit.ly/asita_youtubeApple Podcasts - http://bit.ly/asita_appleGoogle Podcasts - http://bit.ly/asita_googleSpotify - http://bit.ly/asita_spotifyiHeart Radio - http://bit.ly/asita_iheartStitcher - http://bit.ly/asita_stitcherTuneIn (and Alexa enabled devices) - http://bit.ly/asita_tuneinRSS Feed - https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/276933.rss

Широкие просторы, фруктовый запах, романтические вечера и мечты. Время, когда одежда перестаёт стеснять движения. Свобода. Моменты...наслаждаться мелочами, и обязательно съездить на море. Лето. 1. Нежные ноты фортепиано от Altran. Моё скромное вмешательство, стихи Дмитрия Павленко, голос Бориса Павленко. Ростов-на-Дону, спасибо за тёплый приём, душевную атмосферу.

Tiff Lacey, это когда ставишь на повтор и временами пребываешь в полной меланхолии. The Truth. 2019 rework. 8. HVOB - я и не сосчитаю, сколько раз этот шедевр играл в моих ушах. Чистый гипноз, секс, завораживающий темп. Уверен, вы поймёте. 9. Ещё один любимый мною проект Phaeleh, это всегда что-то интересное и необычное. 10. Stay Close. Смотреть в её глаза, увидеть едва заметный блеск. Надеяться, что это взаимно. Ведь так хочется верить в это. 11. Когда-то давно, сэр Armin Van Buuren сделал этот трек шедевром. Свежий, акустический взгляд. Подпевайте.) Not Giving Up On Love. 12. Космическое настроение от Chicane в ремиксе от Thomas Datt. Красиво. 13. Удовольствие. Kathleen Fisher, редкий, совершенно случайно найденный ремикс. The last time. 14. Детство. Беззаботное. Искренний интерес к новому, открытость, чистота внутри, сияние. Отсутствие фальши и наигранности. Нам стоит поучиться чему-то у детей. Согласитесь? 15. Сериал "Игра престолов" закончился. Король ночи побеждён. Слишком запомнился OST.

In this week's episode I chat to Kathleen Fisher, a professor at Tufts University. I caught up with Kathleen during the first stop of the three city Yow 2015 conference late last year, where she was delivering the opening keynote on the topic of formal methods. Back in university I struggled with the topic of formal verification of software. The amount of work required to formally, mathematically, prove a given implementation actually did what you hoped, always seemed to be an order of magnitude too great. But Kathleen's incredibly entertaining and informative keynote showed me how much the topic has come on. In our interview, we talk about her work in this area, including about how formally verified systems can greatly help improve the security of systems, from off the shelf quadcoptoers to full-sized unmanned helicopters. She also explains how even systems with small amounts of formally proved software can still be useful, and why it's important to know if your in-car entertainment system is actually backed by a fully fledged linux OS, especially if someone has a dodgy encoding of some classical music lying around! You can find out more about Kathleen's work here: www.cs.tufts.edu/~kfisher/Kathlee…Fisher/Home.html. Her Yow keynote is now also available here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aFeGGyi19A and see her latest talk here: prezi.com/wr41rmfmhotj/using-f…hare&utm_medium=copy.

  Summer is here, not officially but in the electronic dance music world it is.  So get out the booty shorts and sweat til they throw you out.  There were about 6 or 7 songs that could have been this months tune of the month however I chose the lead track from Lange and Emma Hewitt.  When I hear it puts me in a great mood and sends me into memory overload and just thinking about the sun shining on me. You will know what I mean when it starts to build toward the middle of the track around 2:30 and Emma is hitting it.  Tomorrow it could be Aly and Fila with Jaren's sister Josie with the beautiful “Listening”  and next week it could be another track.  I will leave that to you to argue.  Now if you immediately skip to about 52:05 you will hear the sound of heaven- think Im kidding?  This is why I love Andy Moor!  I think him and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to vocal tracks.  Also playing is the Zara Taylor and her follow up to huge Lost release.  This time shes found. Its perfect and will having you singing along in no time.  Wanna shake your ass? Ok how about the instant classic from Jaren  and her husband Matt Cerf.  It starts off slow but by the end you will be fist pumping as if you are at the Jersey Shore.  When listening to Nevada it will have you feel like you are the baddest person in the room.  Good theme if you think you are a tough guy.  Faithless says they are Not Going Home -hands up pants down for all.  Black is the New Yellow is not a fashion statement but a stormer from Super 8 and Tab- bouncing off the walls for this one.  Kathleen Fisher and George Acosta provide builds and a booty shaker themselves.  My underdog tune is from Judith Jobse.  You can appreciate it if you have your stereo loud- hint. Also Tania Zygar provides a beauty.  You think this one is good, wait til you hear her next release.  Finally Jurrane and Sly One provide proper ending to this mix.  Reminds me of an old Paul Van Dyk tune- cant remember the title tight now.   As you can tell I am pumped about NCM 015.   Could not wait to get it to you.  Yeah!!!    The new night club musical Facebook page is now available at http://www.facebook.com/pages/dj-bigdirtys-Night-Club-Musical/103300853038769 Stay up to date with the latest vocal trance tunes when or prior to their release. Feel free to upload your own too.
