____________Guests:Suzy PallettPresident, Black Hat. Cybersecurity.On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzy-pallett-60710132/The Cybersecurity Community Finds Its Footing in Uncertain TimesThere is something almost paradoxical about the cybersecurity industry. It exists because of threats, yet it thrives on trust. It deals in technical complexity, yet its beating heart is fundamentally human: people gathering, sharing knowledge, and collectively deciding that defending each other matters more than protecting proprietary advantage.This tension—and this hope—was on full display at Black Hat Europe 2025 in London, which just wrapped up at the ExCel Centre with attendance growing more than 25 percent over last year. For Suzy Pallett, the newly appointed President of Black Hat, the numbers tell only part of the story."What I've found from this week is the knowledge sharing, the insights, the open source tools that we've shared, the demonstrations that have happened—they've been so instrumental," Pallett shared in a conversation with ITSPmagazine. "Cybersecurity is unlike any other industry I've ever been close to in the strength of that collaboration."Pallett took the helm in September after Steve Wylie stepped down following eleven years leading the brand through significant growth. Her background spans over two decades in global events, most recently with Money20/20, the fintech conference series. But she speaks of Black Hat not as a business to be managed but as a community to be served.The event itself reflected the year's dominant concerns. AI agents and supply chain vulnerabilities emerged as central themes, continuing conversations that dominated Black Hat USA in Las Vegas just months earlier. But Europe brought its own character. Keynotes ranged from Max Meets examining whether ransomware can actually be stopped, to Linus Neumann questioning whether compliance checklists might actually expose organizations to greater risk rather than protecting them."He was saying that the compliance checklists that we're all being stressed with are actually where the vulnerabilities lie," Pallett explained. "How can we work more collaboratively together so that it's not just a compliance checklist that we get?"This is the kind of question that sits at the intersection of technology and policy, technical reality and bureaucratic aspiration. It is also the kind of question that rarely gets asked in vendor halls but deserves space in our collective thinking.Joe Tidy, the BBC journalist behind the EvilCorp podcast, delivered a record-breaking keynote attendance on day two, signaling the growing appetite for cybersecurity stories that reach beyond the practitioner community into broader public consciousness. Louise Marie Harrell spoke on technical capacity and international accountability—a reminder that cyber threats respect no borders and neither can our responses.What makes Black Hat distinct, Pallett noted, is that the conversations happening on the business hall floor are not typical expo fare. "You have the product teams, you have the engineers, you have the developers on those stands, and it's still product conversations and technical conversations."Looking ahead, Pallett's priorities center on listening. Review boards, advisory boards, pastoral programs, scholarships—these are the mechanisms through which she intends to ensure Black Hat remains, in her words, "a platform for them and by them."The cybersecurity industry faces a peculiar burden. What used to happen in twelve years now happens in two days, as Pallett put it. The pace is exhausting. The threats keep evolving. The cat-and-mouse game shows no signs of ending.But perhaps that is precisely why events like this matter. Not because they offer solutions to every problem, but because they remind an industry under constant pressure that it is not alone in the fight. That collaboration is not weakness. That sharing knowledge freely is not naïve—it is strategic.Black Hat Europe 2025 may have ended, but the conversations it sparked will carry forward into 2026 and beyond.____________HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

The Rare Lens: AI-based image recognition for rare disease diagnoses There are around 6000 rare diseases, which affect over 300 million people worldwide. Rare diseases are often difficult to diagnose, and people affected by a rare disease wait an average of five years or more for a correct diagnosis, which can be a heavy burden on patients and also hinders rare disease research and drug development. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help address these diagnostic challenges. One promising approach is Next-Generation Phenotyping (NGP), which uses AI to detect disease-specific phenotypic patterns – such as distinct facial features – commonly associated with rare diseases, to support diagnosis and guide genetic testing. In the newest episode of the BioRevolution podcast, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow spoke to two researchers from the University of Bonn working on next-generation phenotyping approaches: Dr. Adele Ruder, MSL for GestaltMatcher, and Dr. Behnam Javanmardi, Group Leader: AI for Rare Diseases and Head of Bone2Gene. We explored the potential of AI-driven diagnosis for rare diseases and what this could mean for people affected by rare diseases, their physicians, and researchers and drug developers in the rare disease space.

Die dritte von fünf Folgen aus der Sonderreihe „Quereinstieg ins Kita-Team“ Die Orientierungsphase – der „Check-In“ beginnt mit dem Ankommen am ersten Arbeitstag im Kita-Team und dauert einige Wochen an. In dieser Zeit wird neuen Mitarbeiter:innen ein enormes Maß an Konzentration und Aufmerksamkeit zugemutet – vieles ist neu: Aufgabenbereiche, Arbeitsabläufe, Räumlichkeiten, für uns selbstverständliche – oft unausgesprochene Regeln, dem Team geläufige Fachausdrücke, Abkürzungen u.v.m. Die sehnlich erwartete Entlastung im Team bedeutet zunächst einen zeitlichen Mehraufwand.Durch die Orientierungsphase begleiten insgesamt 14 Methoden - jeweils sieben zum Thema Teambuilding und zum Thema der pädagogischen Haltung.

Burnout – und warum es dich früher trifft als du denkst.Viele glauben immer noch, dass Burnout erst dann passiert, wenn alles komplett zusammenbricht. Die Realität sieht anders aus. Der Stress beginnt leise, die Warnsignale sind subtil und oft bist du selbst der letzte Mensch, der merkt, wie weit du schon über deine Grenzen gehst.In dieser Podcast Folge spreche ich darüber, warum du dich nicht selbst belügen solltest, wenn es um Belastung, Pausen und mentale Gesundheit geht – und weshalb echte Erholung heute absolute Pflicht ist, wenn du langfristig etwas aufbauen willst.
No episódio de hoje, Dr. Marcelo Corassa, dra. Camilla Yamada, dra. Veridiana Camargo e dr. Fabio Kater recebem nosso imperador da Oncologia, para fechar a temporada 2025 em grande estilo (assim como abrimos): dr. Antonio Carlos Buzaid. Grande entusiasta da imunoterapia, ele vem não só para discutir os tratamentos do câncer de mama, mas também para explicar os números de DBs, Keynotes e ajudar a localizar o dr. Fabio Schütz.
Die zweite von fünf Folgen aus der Sonderreihe„Quereinstieg ins Kita-Team“ Gelingendes Onboarding geht über eine herzliche Begrüßung im Team und einen kurzen Erkundungstrip in der Einrichtung hinaus.

Die erste von fünf Folgen aus der Sonderreihe „Quereinstieg ins Kita-Team“ Laut einer Bertelsmann-Studie werden vermehrt beruflicheSeiteneinsteiger:innen in Kindergärten eingestellt. Ziel ist es, die personelle Notlage zu entschärfen und den laufenden Betrieb aufrechtzuerhalten. Eine vermeintlich rasche Lösung – wenn Improvisation nicht an die Stelle von Professionalität treten soll. Ziel muss ein dauerhaftes, tragfähiges Miteinander sein, ohne die Fluktuationsspirale weiter anzukurbeln und die pädagogische Qualität aus dem Blick zu verlieren.

Rente – und warum sie alles andere als sicher ist.Viele glauben immer noch an den alten Satz: „Die Rente ist sicher.“ Die Realität sieht anders aus. Die Geburtenrate sinkt, die Gesellschaft wird älter, und immer weniger Jüngere tragen ein System, das längst am Limit läuft.In dieser Podcast-Folge spreche ich darüber, warum du dich nicht blind auf die staatliche Rente verlassen solltest – und weshalb echte finanzielle Sicherheit heute in deiner eigenen Verantwortung liegt.

Most of us have grown up believing that sickness is just something that “happens to us.” A diagnosis. A body that went wrong. A bit of bad luck.But what if that's not the full story?In this bite-size conversation from Episode #95, former cancer researcher turned nutritionist Matty Lansdown shares what he learned after years inside hospital labs: we were treating symptoms, not causes. And the more he looked, the clearer it became—the body isn't broken. It's responding.This is the story of what happens when you step out of the system you were trained to trust… and begin to see the intelligence of the human body in a completely different way. Nature doesn't make mistakes. But sometimes we misunderstand the message.

You cannot hack your way out of bad sleep. One of the world's leading human brain researchers, Professor Vincent Walsh, explains why and breaks down what actually happens in the brain when we cut corners, and why relying on shortcuts, stimulants, or “hacks” can quietly harm long-term cognition, mood, and performance.

Key notes and matchups in the Patriots upcoming game vs. the Falcons
After spending the last few weeks listening to Q3 earnings calls and product launches from the Magnificent 7 and their orbit, I think it's safe to say:We're approaching a fundamental shift where AI doesn't just scale operations—it enables radical personalization at scale. And this tension between “more” and “customized” will reshape how we communicate, campaign, and connect.Hi, are you new to Anchor Change? I'm Katie Harbath. Most people listen for the numbers. I listen for where product and policy are heading. And today's piece is a good example of the kinds of work I share in my newsletter every week. Subscribe today to get this kind of analysis right in your inbox.After listening to Salesforce's Mark Benioff talk about the future of customer service and Google's Sundar Pichai mention how browsing will change, here are six things that stood out to me—and what they mean for anyone navigating tech, politics, or the messy space between.1. Moving From Pages You Browse to Agents You BriefSalesforce calls it “the end of the do-not-reply era.” Google is reimagining search and Chrome as agentic interfaces. By next year, your customer won't scroll through your website—they'll ask a question, and an AI will answer on your behalf.What that means for you: If your content isn't structured for agents—clear product data, authenticated actions, safety guardrails—you're invisible in that conversation. Start designing for a “briefed” world now.2. The Democratization of Software DevelopmentNearly every company referenced how AI collapses the barrier between “having an idea” and “shipping something.” Andreessen Horowitz drew parallels to early YouTube: suddenly, anyone could create and distribute content without a studio. Now, anyone can build software without hiring developers.The catch: When everyone can create at scale, advantage shifts to orchestration—how seamlessly you connect identity, data, channels, and fulfillment. The magic isn't in making things; it's in making things work together reliably.3. Scale AND Personalization (Not Scale OR Personalization)After listening to these calls, this is the juxtaposition that intrigues me most. AI is enabling companies to reach a wider audience while simultaneously tailoring every interaction.* YouTube/Google is helping creators make episodic content shoppable—shortening the journey from “I'm interested” to “I bought it.”* Meta is optimizing ad delivery end-to-end, so advertisers just state their objective and the AI handles the rest.* Netflix's K-pop demon hunters became a surprise hit, showing studios need to move faster on merchandising cultural moments.For campaigns and advocacy: 2026 and 2028 will be the first elections where agentic stacks let you contact, persuade, and service constituents at unprecedented scale—but in messages that feel like they were written for each person. The transparency challenge here is huge.4. The Human Layer Isn't Going Away—It's ExpandingWhile it's popular to say that ”AI replaces people,” leaders kept describing AI as expanding what humans can handle:* Salesforce and Meta both argued you can finally answer every customer service inquiry—which means hiring more humans alongside automation, not fewer.* Sales changes too: AI lets your team pitch to more prospects and close faster. Same humans, exponentially more reach.The advantage isn't zero-human; it's right-human. To me, this means you put your best people where judgment, nuance, and relationships truly matter. Use agents to amplify their impact.5. Three Infrastructure Realities Shaping StrategyAcross every call and launch, no one could escape these these three elements that are impacting their next steps:* No One Has Enough Compute. Capacity planning is now a C-suite conversation. Every roadmap is gated by compute availability.* Energy Is Policy. OpenAI's framing was direct: building AI infrastructure requires a surge in skilled trades and electricity. “Unlocking electrons” is both an economic opportunity and a bottleneck—one that regulators will shape.* DC Proximity Is Now an Advantage. The industry that once prized distance from Washington is planting offices there. NVIDIA staged events in DC. Anthropic is opening an office. Policy fluency isn't optional anymore.Your move: Lock long-lead capacity early. Build relationships with policymakers before you need them. Align your safety and transparency practices with where regulation is heading, not where it is today.6. Platform Competition: The Creator Scramble Is Back* Substack is scaling fast, which means more content and harder discovery—echoing the early-2010s battle for creator loyalty that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube went through.* Meta frames a “third era” of social: friends (Era 1), creators (Era 2), and now a third era where AI-remixes change what gets made and how it spreads.* Google is pushing analytics and monetization tools to keep creators inside YouTube's ecosystem.What's happening: Platforms are competing for catalogs, not just users. More content means more moderation complexity. Global scale will stress those choices in ways we haven't seen yet.What This Means for Leaders in 2026* Design for agents, not just browsers. Your information architecture needs to answer questions, not just display pages.* Personalization is becoming table stakes. People will expect customized experiences. On the flip side, you'll need radical transparency about what you're saying to whom and how you'll be held accountable.* Invest where trust is created. The competitive edge isn't automation—it's knowing where to put your humans so they create relationships that matter.* Policy and capacity are product decisions now. You can't build a roadmap without thinking about compute, energy, and regulatory alignment.The Bigger QuestionWe're very close to witnessing a fundamental shift in how we interact with browsers, brands, and one another. Personalization at this level will change how we present information, the companies we work with to deliver it, and the necessary level of transparency about what we're doing.The companies getting this right won't be the ones who scale fastest or personalize best—they'll be the ones who figure out how to do both while earning trust along the way.What trend catches your eye the most and why? Tell me in the comments.Go DeeperIf you want to watch these events or read things yourself, here's all that I looked at:* Anthropic: Axios AI Keynote* Google: Q3 Earnings, New TV Features on YouTube and Alex Heath scoop on YouTube AI Re-Org and Layoffs* Meta: Q3 Earnings* Microsoft: Fiscal Year 2026 Q1 Earnings* Netflix: Q3 Earnings* NVIDIA: GTC Keynote* OpenAI: Dev Day Sam Altman Keynote* Salesforce: Dreamforce Investor and Analyst Session, Marketing Force and Conversation with David Sacks* Substack: Anchor Change with Katie Harbath is a reader-supported publication.

What happens when safety gear finally fits women the way it should? It increases safety and changes more than comfort...it changes confidence, credibility, and culture. In this episode, Michele Moran, Senior Portfolio Leader at J.J. Keller & Associates, talks about how the company decided to start designing a safety line for women.From attending Women in Construction events to gathering hands-on feedback from tradeswomen, Michele shares how J.J. Keller's women's line of PPE came to life ...and why fit matters not only for safety and performance but for belonging in the industry.Michele and I also dig into the creation of JJ Keller's Women's Safegear Reversible Puffer Vest (featured in the 14%ers October Anniversary Box) and how collaboration between women-led initiatives and established manufacturers can drive real change in construction culture.Key Takeaways:Ill-fitting PPE doesn't just create safety risks, it sends the wrong message about who belongs.When manufacturers listen to women in the field, design gets smarter, safer, and more inclusive.J.J. Keller's women's PPE line proves that inclusion and profitability aren't mutually exclusive.Proper fit impacts both comfort and credibilityThe partnership between 14%ers and J.J.

Most presentations are forgettable. We fill slides, rehearse lines, and hope the message lands. But it rarely does...because information doesn't move people. Stories do.In this Bite Size from episode #144, speaking expert Tony Bulmer reveals the simple truth behind every great presentation: emotion wins where logic fails.He shares how a single story — told by one of his clients — changed the entire energy of a room. It wasn't polished. It wasn't perfect. But it was real. And that's what made people listen.This episode is about what happens when you stop trying to impress an audience… and start trying to reach them.You can find Tony at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonybulmer/?originalSubdomain=auOr at his website: https://www.bulmergroup.com/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

I think you know the gist by now...

Many toxic behaviors are responses to external or personal stress, not innate malice.2.Recognizing Archetypes of Bad LeadershipMita's book introduces 13 archetypes of bad bosses, including Medusa (the bully), the Chopper (micromanager), the Napper (disengaged boss), and Tony Soprano (talent hoarder). These archetypes help us recognize and address negative behaviors in leadership.3.Impact of Exclusion and Toxic WorkplacesDrawing from her personal journey, Mita highlights the profound impact that exclusion and toxic bosses can have on employee wellbeing, engagement, and confidence. Her own experiences with bullies followed her from childhood schoolyards into the workplace, fueling her passion for building inclusive cultures.4.Advice for Employees Facing Toxic LeadershipMita suggests practical steps for employees: document toxic behavior, develop an exit strategy (even if it's internal), network discreetly, and focus on activities outside work that rebuild confidence. She stresses that individuals alone cannot fix toxic workplaces or change others' behavior—they have to prioritize their own well-being.5.Role of HR and Talent Professionals in Addressing ToxicityThe conversation offers guidance for HR and talent leaders: document issues, influence decision-makers with facts, and recognize when to recommend coaching—or, when necessary, help leaders move on. Using curiosity, vulnerability, and honest feedback can guide leaders toward positive change, but some situations may require more decisive...
