The RSA Conference has long served as a meeting point for innovation and collaboration in cybersecurity—and in this pre-RSAC episode, ITSPmagazine co-founders Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin welcome Akamai's Rupesh Chokshi to the conversation. With RSAC 2025 on the horizon, they discuss Akamai's presence at the event and dig into the challenges and opportunities surrounding AI, threat intelligence, and enterprise security.Chokshi, who leads Akamai's Application Security business, describes a landscape marked by explosive growth in web and API attacks—and a parallel shift as enterprises embrace generative AI. The double-edged nature of AI is central to the discussion: while it offers breakthrough productivity and automation, it also creates new vulnerabilities. Akamai's dual focus, says Chokshi, is both using AI to strengthen defenses and securing AI-powered applications themselves.The conversation touches on the scale and sophistication of modern threats, including an eye-opening stat: Akamai is now tracking over 500 million large language model (LLM)-driven scraping requests per day. As these threats extend from e-commerce to healthcare and beyond, Chokshi emphasizes the need for layered defense strategies and real-time adaptability.Ciappelli brings a sociological lens to the AI discussion, noting the hype-to-reality shift the industry is experiencing. “We're no longer asking if AI will change the game,” he suggests. “We're asking how to implement it responsibly—and how to protect it.”At RSAC 2025, Akamai will showcase a range of innovations, including updates to its Guardicore platform and new App & API Protection Hybrid solutions. Their booth (6245) will feature interactive demos, theater sessions, and one-on-one briefings. The Akamai team will also release a new edition of their State of the Internet report, packed with actionable threat data and insights.The episode closes with a reminder: in a world that's both accelerating and fragmenting, cybersecurity must serve not just as a barrier—but as a catalyst. “Security,” says Chokshi, “has to enable innovation, not hinder it.”⸻Keywords: RSAC 2025, Akamai, cybersecurity, generative AI, API protection, web attacks, application security, LLM scraping, Guardicore, State of the Internet report, Zero Trust, hybrid digital world, enterprise resilience, AI security, threat intelligence, prompt injection, data privacy, RSA Conference, Sean Martin, Marco Ciappelli______________________Guest: Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM, Akamai https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshchokshi/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 SponsorsAKAMAI:https://itspm.ag/akamailbwc____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageRupesh Chokshi Session at RSAC 2025The New Attack Frontier: Research Shows Apps & APIs Are the Targets - [PART1-W09]____________________________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?

Lauren thought she'd found a connection during lockdown. Instead, she met a predator. What began as an online romance through Facebook Messenger quickly turned into a stalking nightmare. After assaulting another woman, he manipulated his way into Lauren's life—then the threats began. He stalked her relentlessly: leaving items on her car, sending photos of her home, and accusing her of cheating. Even from behind bars, he continued to terrorize her through cyberstalking and threats. After a third, violent assault, Lauren pressed charges for sexual assault, unlawful confinement, choking, and death threats. Now, as he remains on the run, she's fighting for justice.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?LET US KNOW:strictlystalkingpod@gmail.comPLEASE VISIT OUR SPONSORS!BeamIf you want to try Beam's best-selling Dream Powder, get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to shopbeam.com/stalking and use code STALKING at checkout.

All Aboard the Innovation Express: RSAC 2025 On Track for Cybersecurity's FutureLet's face it—RSAC isn't just a conference anymore. It's a movement. A ritual. A block party for cybersecurity. And this year, it's pulling into the station with more tracks than ever before—figuratively and literally.In this On Location episode, we reconnect with Cecilia Murtagh Marinier, Vice President of Innovation and Scholars at RSAC, to dive into what makes the 2025 edition a can't-miss experience. And as always, Sean and Marco kick things off with a bit of improvisation, some travel jokes, and a whole lot of heart.From the 20th Anniversary of the Innovation Sandbox (with a massive $50M investment boost from Crosspoint Capital) to the growing Early Stage Expo, LaunchPad's Shark-Tank-style sessions, and the new Investor & Entrepreneur track, RSAC continues to set the stage for cybersecurity's next big thing.And this year, they're going bigger—literally. The expansion into the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts brings with it a mind-blowing immersive experience: DARPA's AI Cyber City, a physically interactive train ride through smart city scenarios, designed to show how cybersecurity touches everything—from water plants to hospitals, satellites to firmware.Add in eight hands-on villages, security scholars programs, coffee-fueled networking zones, and a renewed focus on inclusion, mentorship, and accessibility, and you've got something that feels less like an event and more like a living, breathing community.Cecilia also reminds us that RSAC is a place for everyone—from first-timers unsure where to begin to seasoned veterans ready to innovate and invest. It's about showing up, making a plan (or not), and being open to the unexpected conversations that happen in hallways, lounges, or over espresso in the sandbox village.And if you can't make it in person? RSAC has made sure that everything is accessible online—600 speakers, 600 vendors, and endless ways to engage, reflect, and be part of the global cybersecurity story.So whether you're hopping in the car, boarding a flight, or—who knows—riding a miniature DARPA train through Northridge City, one thing's for sure: RSAC 2025 is going full speed ahead—and we're bringing you along for the ride.⸻
As the cybersecurity world gears up for RSAC 2025 in San Francisco, we hit the road again—this time with Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, for a pre-event chat packed with insight, community spirit, and some big news.Chris is no stranger to the RSA stage—this year marks his 21st year presenting—and he's bringing his energy to two powerful sessions. The first, titled “Protecting What Matters: Your Family and Home,” kicks off bright and early on Monday, April 28. It's not about blinky lights or enterprise networks—it's about us. The cybersecurity community often talks about protecting organizations, but what about protecting ourselves and our families? Chris will explore how security pros can apply their skills at home, covering identity theft, scams, and home network safety. It's a refreshing and much-needed call to action that connects the personal and professional.On Wednesday, Chris returns with co-presenter James Shreve for a two-hour Learning Lab, “When Things Go Boom: Supply Chain Risk.” This Chatham House Rule session dives deep into one of today's most complex challenges: managing third-party risk without stopping the business in its tracks. Participants will step into different roles—board members, CISOs, legal, finance—to engage in a live, collaborative scenario that pushes them to think beyond checklists. Real talk. Real collaboration. And practical takeaways.But that's not all. BlackCloak is also unveiling its new Digital Executive Protection Framework, designed to help organizations assess and strengthen protections for executives and their families. Chris teases that this framework includes 14 essential tenets that blend physical, digital, and organizational awareness—and he'll be sitting down with us again at the event to go deeper.With 15–20 BlackCloak team members on site, a full schedule of meetings, events, and community conversations, this year is shaping up to be a milestone for BlackCloak at RSAC. If you're attending, keep an eye on their LinkedIn page for updates, booking links, and suite details.As Chris says, it's about lifting our heads, scanning the horizon, and showing up for our community—and our families.Keywords: RSAC2025, Chris Pierson, BlackCloak, cybersecurity, RSA Conference, digital protection, executive protection, supply chain risk, identity theft, privacy, home network security, third-party risk, CISOs, cybersecurity community, digital executive protection framework, GRC, threat intelligence, infosec, personal security, cybersecurity awareness______________________Guest: Chris Pierson, Founder & CEO of BLACKCLOAK | Digital Executive Protection | Concierge Cybersecurity & Privacy Protection . . . in their Personal Lives | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchristopherpierson/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 SponsorsBLACKCLOAK:https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageChris SessionsProtecting What Matters—Your Family & Home https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739369849404001eWtUWhen Things Go Boom!

Ava's life turned into a nightmare when a friendly classmate became a relentless stalker. After she cut ties, he memorized her license plate, flooded her with messages, and showed up at her job. He twisted the truth to play the victim, spreading lies about her to others. As his obsession grew, so did her fear—cryptic messages, constant surveillance, and nowhere to feel safe. Despite changing her routine and taking precautions, Ava was trapped in a terrifying cycle she couldn't escape.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

In a conversation that sets the tone for this year's RSA Conference, Steve Wilson, shares a candid look at how AI is intersecting with cybersecurity in real and measurable ways. Wilson, who also leads the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models project and recently authored a book published by O'Reilly on the topic, brings a multi-layered perspective to a discussion that blends strategy, technology, and organizational behavior.Wilson's session title at RSA Conference—“Are the Machines Learning, or Are We?”—asks a timely question. Security teams are inundated with data, but without meaningful visibility—defined not just as seeing, but understanding and acting on what you see—confidence in defense capabilities may be misplaced. Wilson references a study conducted with IDC that highlights this very disconnect: organizations feel secure, yet admit they can't see enough of their environment to justify that confidence.This episode tackles one of the core paradoxes of AI in cybersecurity: it offers the promise of enhanced detection, speed, and insight, but only if applied thoughtfully. Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) aren't magical fixes, and they struggle with large datasets. But when layered atop refined systems like user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), they can help junior analysts punch above their weight—or even automate early-stage investigations.Wilson doesn't stop at the tools. He zooms out to the business implications, where visibility, talent shortages, and tech complexity converge. He challenges security leaders to rethink what visibility truly means and to recognize the mounting noise problem. The industry is chasing 40% more CVEs year over year—an unsustainable growth curve that demands better signal-to-noise filtering.At its heart, the episode raises important strategic questions: Are businesses merely offloading thinking to machines? Or are they learning how to apply these technologies to think more clearly, act more decisively, and structure teams differently?Whether you're building a SOC strategy, rethinking tooling, or just navigating the AI hype cycle, this conversation with Steve Wilson offers grounded insights with real implications for today—and tomorrow.
Robyn, an attorney, was harassed, blackmailed, and stalked by a senior partner at her law firm.For three years, he manipulated her into a relationship, threatening to ruin her career and reputation if she refused. When she finally broke free, he escalated—stalking her, threatening her loved ones, and attempting to distribute intimate photos he had secretly taken.

In the midst of addiction and heartbreak, Claire turned to therapy for support. But when her therapist crossed the line, she ended the sessions—only to find that was just the beginning.What started as professional boundaries being blurred quickly spiraled into obsessive behavior, leading to disciplinary action by the state board. Now, Claire is speaking out to prove that stalking isn't always about romance. Sometimes, it's about power, control, and the ultimate betrayal by someone you're supposed to trust.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

The HIMSS Global Conference brings together healthcare professionals, technology providers, and industry leaders to discuss the most pressing challenges in healthcare. One of the key conversations this year focused on security, risk management, and the role of HITRUST in ensuring trust across the healthcare ecosystem.HITRUST's Expanding Role in Healthcare SecurityRyan Patrick, VP of Adoption at HITRUST, joined the discussion to share insights from the conference floor. One of the most striking takeaways was the sheer scale of engagement—attendance at HIMSS was at an all-time high, reflecting a growing focus on healthcare security and compliance. Organizations across the industry are looking for solutions that support innovation while maintaining security, and HITRUST is at the center of those conversations.A common misconception about HITRUST is that it only provides a single, rigorous cybersecurity assessment. Patrick clarified that HITRUST now offers a tiered approach, including the E1 (entry-level), I1 (intermediate), and R2 (comprehensive) assessments, allowing organizations to align their security and compliance efforts with their level of maturity. The E1 assessment, in particular, has gained rapid adoption as organizations look for a scalable way to demonstrate security and compliance without the complexity of a full certification process.The Role of HITRUST in Third-Party Risk ManagementWith interoperability becoming a priority in healthcare, third-party risk management is a growing concern. Many healthcare organizations work with hundreds—if not thousands—of vendors, and ensuring security across this extended network is critical. Patrick emphasized that HITRUST is not just a cybersecurity framework but a tool for managing third-party risk at scale. HITRUST assessments provide structured, standardized data that can be integrated into risk management platforms, allowing organizations to evaluate their vendors with greater efficiency and confidence.As discussions around security and compliance continue, Patrick encourages healthcare organizations to educate themselves on the full range of HITRUST offerings. Whether an organization is starting its security journey or looking to optimize third-party risk management, HITRUST provides a structured path to achieving trust and resilience.Learn more about HITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitwebNote: This story contains promotional content.

Artificial intelligence continues to shape the future of healthcare, and this year's HIMSS Global Conference 2025 reflected both the momentum and the uncertainties surrounding its adoption. In a conversation with Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS, the discussion focused on how AI, interoperability, and regulatory policy are influencing healthcare delivery, patient engagement, and the broader industry landscape.AI in Healthcare: From Concept to ImplementationGenerative AI has moved beyond the hype stage, embedding itself into real-world applications. Oracle's announcement of an AI-driven electronic health record (EHR) platform signals a shift in how hospitals and healthcare systems are rethinking data management. However, the conversation is no longer just about the technology itself—it's about how governments, regulatory bodies, and healthcare institutions will set guardrails to ensure AI's responsible and effective use.The Role of Policy in Shaping AI's FutureWhile AI adoption surges, regulatory uncertainty remains a key challenge. The Biden administration had proposed executive orders and regulations to guide AI's role in healthcare, but with political shifts and differing global regulatory approaches, the direction remains unclear. HIMSS has observed that different regions—the U.S., Europe, and Asia—may take separate paths in AI governance, raising questions about whether a unified best-practice framework will emerge or if multiple regulatory approaches will lead to diverging standards.Interoperability and the Shift Back to CustomizationFor years, healthcare institutions moved away from building their own systems in favor of purchasing standardized EHR solutions from dominant industry players. Now, there's a return to in-house development, driven by the need for flexibility, adaptability, and deeper AI integration. At the same time, interoperability remains a hurdle, as institutions seek to make AI work across disparate systems while maintaining security and compliance.The Patient's Role in AI-Driven HealthcareAI's potential to close the information gap between patients and providers is one of the most promising developments. From personal health monitoring through wearables to AI-powered tools that help individuals interpret medical research and their own health data, the patient's role in healthcare decision-making is evolving. The ability for AI to synthesize complex medical data and provide insights in real-time is reshaping how people engage with their health, making them more active participants in their care.What's Next?As HIMSS 2025 highlighted, AI in healthcare is not a distant vision—it's happening now. The question is no longer whether AI will be a part of healthcare, but rather how it will be implemented, regulated, and integrated into existing frameworks to maximize its benefits while mitigating risks. The conversation with Robert Havasy underscores the critical need for collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers, and technologists to ensure AI delivers on its promise while keeping patients at the center of the equation.Listen to the full episode for deeper insights into how AI, interoperability, and patient-centered care are shaping the future of healthcare.Guest: Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhavasy/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 SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from HIMSS 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/himss-2025-health-technology-and-cybersecurity-event-coverage-las-vegasHIMSS 2024 Cybersecurity Report: https://www.himss.org/resources/himss-healthcare-cybersecurity-survey/____________________________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?

The intersection of cybersecurity and healthcare is more critical than ever, as technology continues to shape the way patient care is delivered. At HIMSS 2025 in Las Vegas, we sat down with Lee Kim, Senior Principal of Cybersecurity and Privacy at HIMSS, to discuss the pressing security challenges facing healthcare organizations, the role of artificial intelligence, and the balance between innovation and risk.AI in Healthcare: Promise and PerilArtificial intelligence is rapidly being adopted across the healthcare sector, yet many organizations still lack structured governance around its use. Kim highlights the “wild west” nature of AI adoption, where policies are either non-existent or underdeveloped, creating risks related to privacy, data security, and patient outcomes. While AI-powered diagnostic tools, like those used in radiology, have the potential to improve patient care by identifying critical conditions early, blind trust in AI-generated results presents serious risks. Without proper oversight, reliance on AI could lead to incorrect medical decisions, putting patient safety in jeopardy.Cybersecurity Gaps in Healthcare OrganizationsOne of the biggest concerns in healthcare cybersecurity is the over-reliance on security tools without a clear strategy. Many organizations invest in the latest technology but neglect foundational security practices, such as governance, policy development, and staff training. Kim points out that less than half of cybersecurity budgets are allocated to governance, leading to disorganized security programs.Another persistent challenge is the human factor. Social engineering and phishing attacks remain the top attack vectors, exploiting the inherent culture of healthcare professionals who are trained to help and trust others. Organizations must focus on proactive security measures, such as regular training and simulated attacks, to reduce human error and strengthen defenses.The Financial and Operational RealityBudget constraints continue to be a challenge, particularly for smaller hospitals and community healthcare providers. While larger organizations may have more resources, cybersecurity spending often focuses on acquiring new tools rather than optimizing existing defenses. Kim stresses the importance of a balanced approach—investing in both technology and governance to ensure long-term resilience.Another concern is the increasing dependence on third-party services and cloud-based AI tools. If these services become too expensive or go offline, healthcare organizations may face operational disruptions. The lack of contingency planning, such as backup vendors or alternative systems, leaves many institutions vulnerable to supply chain risks.Building a More Resilient Healthcare Security ModelAs technology continues to drive innovation in healthcare, organizations must adopt a proactive cybersecurity stance. Business impact analyses, vendor risk assessments, and tabletop exercises should be standard practice to prepare for disruptions. Kim also raises the idea of cyber mutual aid—a model similar to emergency medical mutual aid, where healthcare organizations collaborate to support each other in times of crisis.HIMSS 2025 provides a forum for these critical conversations, bringing together global healthcare leaders to share insights, challenges, and solutions. For those interested in diving deeper, the HIMSS Cybersecurity Survey is available online, offering a comprehensive look at the current state of healthcare security.To hear the full discussion on these topics and more, listen to the episode featuring Lee Kim, Sean Martin, and Marco Ciappelli from HIMSS 2025 On Location.Guest: Lee Kim, Senior Principal of Cybersecurity and Privacy at HIMSS | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leekim/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 SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from HIMSS 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/himss-2025-health-technology-and-cybersecurity-event-coverage-las-vegasHIMSS 2024 Cybersecurity Report: https://www.himss.org/resources/himss-healthcare-cybersecurity-survey/____________________________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?

During the HIMSS Global Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sat down with Ryan Patrick, Vice President of Adoption at HITRUST, for an insightful conversation about cybersecurity and risk management in healthcare. Rather than a traditional recap of the conference session, this discussion delved into the critical role HITRUST plays in helping healthcare organizations navigate regulatory requirements, manage risk, and ensure patient safety through robust cybersecurity practices.Bridging Regulation and Real-World ApplicationRyan Patrick shared that HITRUST has spent over 17 years translating federal healthcare regulations into actionable frameworks for organizations. His role involves educating the market about HITRUST's initiatives while continuously learning from industry feedback. This bi-directional exchange ensures that HITRUST's frameworks and controls remain relevant and effective. Patrick emphasized the importance of HITRUST's dynamic approach, highlighting that their framework is updated quarterly to address the latest cybersecurity threats. This frequency sets HITRUST apart from other frameworks like HIPAA, which, despite being nearly 30 years old, struggles to keep pace with modern challenges.Real Results: 2025 Trust Report HighlightsOne of the standout points of the conversation was the 2025 HITRUST Trust Report. The data is compelling—while roughly 45% of organizations reported breaches last year, less than 1% of HITRUST-certified environments experienced incidents. The 2025 report shows this number decreasing even further to 0.59%. According to Patrick, this success is driven by HITRUST's focus on threat intelligence and its rigorous assurance mechanism, which goes beyond checkbox compliance to ensure controls are effective and actively reducing risk.Addressing AI and Emerging TechnologiesWith AI being a hot topic at HIMSS, Patrick discussed HITRUST's proactive approach to managing AI risks. In December 2024, HITRUST introduced an AI security certification designed to help organizations securely integrate AI technologies. This certification follows HITRUST's established quality assurance model, offering the same level of scrutiny and validation as its other programs. Patrick likened the current AI landscape to the early days of cloud computing—initial uncertainty followed by widespread adoption, underscoring the need for secure practices as the technology matures.Listen to the Full ConversationThis episode offers more than just surface-level insights.

The latest episode of the On Location series, recorded at ThreatLocker's Zero Trust World 2025 in Orlando, brings forward a deep and practical conversation about implementing Zero Trust principles in real-world environments. Hosted by Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, this episode features Avi Solomon, CIO of a law firm with nearly 30 years in IT and a strong focus on cybersecurity.The Journey to Proactive SecurityAvi Solomon shares his experience transitioning from traditional security models to a proactive, preventive approach with ThreatLocker. With a background in engineering, consulting, and security (CISSP certified), Solomon outlines his initial concerns with reactive endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. While EDR tools act as a secondary insurance policy, he emphasizes the need for a preventive layer to block threats before they manifest.Solomon's firm adopted ThreatLocker a year ago, replacing a legacy product to integrate its proactive security measures. He highlights the platform's maturation, including network control, storage control, application whitelisting, and cloud integration. The shift was not only a technological change but also a cultural one, aligning with the broader philosophy of Zero Trust—approaching security with a mindset that nothing within or outside the network should be trusted by default.Implementing Zero Trust with EaseA standout moment in the episode is Solomon's recount of his implementation process. His conservative approach included running ThreatLocker in observation mode for two months before transitioning fully to a secure mode. When the switch was finally flipped, the result was remarkable—zero disruptions, no pushback from users, and a smooth transition to a less risky security posture. Solomon attributes this success to ThreatLocker's intuitive deployment and adaptive learning capabilities, which allowed the system to understand normal processes and minimize false positives.Redefining Zero Trust: “Near Zero Trust”Solomon introduces a pragmatic take on Zero Trust, coining the term “Near Zero Trust” (NZT). While achieving absolute Zero Trust is an ideal, Solomon argues that organizations should strive to get as close as possible by layering strategic solutions. He draws a clever analogy comparing Zero Trust to driving safely before relying on a seatbelt—proactive behavior backed by reactive safeguards.Tune in to the full episode to explore more of Avi Solomon's insights, hear stories from the conference floor, and learn practical approaches to embedding Zero Trust principles in your organization's security strategy.Guest: Avi Solomon, Chief Information Officer at Rumberger | Kirk | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aviesolomon/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?

Welcome to Part 2 (of 3) covering Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros!
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?

Zero Trust World 2025, hosted by ThreatLocker, is fast approaching (February 19-21), bringing together security professionals, IT leaders, and business executives to discuss the principles and implementation of Zero Trust. Hosted by ThreatLocker, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore real-world security challenges and solutions.In a special On Location with Sean and Marco episode recorded ahead of the event, Ryan Bowman, VP of Solutions Engineering at ThreatLocker, shares insights into his upcoming session, The Dangers of Shadow IT. Shadow IT—the use of unauthorized applications and systems within an organization—poses a significant risk to security, operations, and compliance. Bowman's session aims to shed light on this issue and equip attendees with strategies to address it effectively.Understanding Shadow IT and Its RisksBowman explains that Shadow IT is more than just an inconvenience—it's a growing challenge for businesses of all sizes. Employees often turn to unauthorized tools and services because they perceive them as more efficient, cost-effective, or user-friendly than the official solutions provided by IT teams. While this may seem harmless, the reality is that these unsanctioned applications create serious security vulnerabilities, increase operational risk, and complicate compliance efforts.One of the most pressing concerns is data security. Employees using unauthorized platforms for communication, file sharing, or project management may unknowingly expose sensitive company data to external risks. When employees leave the organization or access is revoked, data stored in these unofficial systems can remain accessible, increasing the risk of breaches or data loss.Procurement issues also play a role in the Shadow IT problem. Bowman highlights cases where organizations unknowingly pay for redundant software services, such as using both Teams and Slack for communication, leading to unnecessary expenses. A lack of centralized oversight results in wasted resources and fragmented security controls.Zero Trust as a MindsetA recurring theme throughout the discussion is that Zero Trust is not just a technology or a product—it's a mindset. Bowman emphasizes that implementing Zero Trust requires organizations to reassess their approach to security at every level. Instead of inherently trusting employees or systems, organizations must critically evaluate every access request, application, and data exchange.This mindset shift extends beyond security teams. IT leaders must work closely with employees to understand why Shadow IT is being used and find secure, approved alternatives that still support productivity. By fostering open communication and making security a shared responsibility, organizations can reduce the temptation for employees to bypass official IT policies.Practical Strategies to Combat Shadow ITBowman's session will not only highlight the risks associated with Shadow IT but also provide actionable strategies to mitigate them. Attendees can expect insights into:• Identifying and monitoring unauthorized applications within their organization• Implementing policies and security controls that balance security with user needs• Enhancing employee engagement and education to prevent unauthorized technology use• Leveraging solutions like ThreatLocker to enforce security policies while maintaining operational efficiencyBowman also stresses the importance of rethinking traditional IT stereotypes. While security teams often impose strict policies to minimize risk, they must also ensure that these policies do not create unnecessary obstacles for employees. The key is to strike a balance between control and usability.Why This Session MattersWith organizations constantly facing new security threats, understanding the implications of Shadow IT is critical. Bowman's session at Zero Trust World 2025 will provide a practical, real-world perspective on how organizations can protect themselves without stifling innovation and efficiency.Beyond the technical discussions, the conference itself offers a unique chance to engage with industry leaders, network with peers, and gain firsthand experience with security tools in hands-on labs. With high-energy sessions, interactive learning opportunities, and keynotes from industry leaders like ThreatLocker CEO Danny Jenkins and Dr. Zero Trust, Chase Cunningham, Zero Trust World 2025 is shaping up to be an essential event for anyone serious about cybersecurity.For those interested in staying ahead of security challenges, attending Bowman's session on The Dangers of Shadow IT is a must.Guest: Ryan Bowman, VP of Solutions Engineering, ThreatLocker [@ThreatLocker | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-bowman-3358a71b/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?

Zero Trust World 2025, hosted by ThreatLocker, is set to bring together IT professionals, business leaders, and cybersecurity practitioners for three days of hands-on labs, insightful discussions, and expert-led sessions. Taking place in Orlando, Florida, from February 19-21, this year's event promises an expanded agenda with cutting-edge topics, interactive workshops, and a unique approach to cybersecurity education.The Growth of Zero Trust WorldNow in its fifth year, Zero Trust World continues to grow exponentially, increasing in size by roughly 50% each year. Kieran Human, Special Projects Engineer at ThreatLocker, attributes this rapid expansion to the rising demand for cybersecurity solutions and the company's own growth. More IT leaders are recognizing the necessity of a Zero Trust approach—not just as a security measure, but as a fundamental philosophy for protecting their organizations.What to Expect: Hands-On Learning and Key DiscussionsOne of the biggest draws of Zero Trust World is its focus on hands-on experiences. Attendees can participate in hacking labs designed to teach them how cyber threats operate from an attacker's perspective. These include interactive exercises using rubber duckies—USB devices that mimic keyboards to inject malicious commands—demonstrating how easily cybercriminals can compromise systems.For those interested in practical applications of security measures, there will be sessions covering topics such as cookie theft, Metasploit, Windows and server security, and malware development. Whether an attendee is an entry-level IT professional or a seasoned security engineer, there's something to gain from these hands-on labs.High-Profile Speakers and Industry InsightsBeyond the labs, Zero Trust World 2025 will feature a lineup of influential speakers, including former Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé, Chase Cunningham (known as Dr. Zero Trust), and ThreatLocker CEO Danny Jenkins. These sessions will provide strategic insights on Zero Trust implementation, industry challenges, and innovative cybersecurity practices.One of the key sessions to look forward to is “The Dangers of Shadow IT,” led by Ryan Bowman, VP of Solution Engineering at ThreatLocker. Shadow IT remains a major challenge for organizations striving to implement Zero Trust, as unauthorized applications and devices create vulnerabilities that security teams may not even be aware of. Stay tuned for a pre-event chat with Ryan coming your way soon.Networking, Certification, and MoreZero Trust World isn't just about education—it's also a prime networking opportunity. Attendees can connect during daily happy hours, the welcome and closing receptions, and a comic book-themed afterparty. ThreatLocker is even introducing a new cybersecurity comic book, adding a creative twist to the conference experience.A major highlight is the Cyber Hero Program, which offers attendees a chance to earn certification in Zero Trust principles. By completing the Cyber Hero exam, participants can have the cost of their event ticket fully refunded, making this an invaluable opportunity for those looking to deepen their cybersecurity expertise.A Unique Capture the Flag ChallengeFor those with advanced cybersecurity skills, the Capture the Flag challenge presents an exciting opportunity. The first person to successfully hack a specially designed, custom-painted high-end computer gets to take it home. This competition is expected to draw some of the best security minds in attendance, reinforcing the event's commitment to real-world application of cybersecurity techniques.Join the ConversationWith so much to see and do, Zero Trust World 2025 is shaping up to be an essential event for IT professionals, business leaders, and security practitioners. Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli will be covering the event live, hosting interviews with speakers, panelists, and attendees to capture insights and takeaways.Whether you're looking to enhance your security knowledge, expand your professional network, or experience hands-on cybersecurity training, Zero Trust World 2025 offers something for everyone. If you're attending, be sure to stop by the podcast area and join the conversation on the future of Zero Trust security.Guest: Kieran Human, Special Projects Engineer, ThreatLocker [@ThreatLocker | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kieran-human-5495ab170/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?

We cover 2000's THE CONTENDER starring Jeff Bridges as a U. S. president sometime between 2007 and 2010. Joan Allen is a senator nominated to fill an open VP slot who refuses to address any allegations of sexual impropriety in her past. Gary Oldman is a congressman trying to destroy her during the confirmation hearings. Does anyone actually read these show notes? Do we need to mention that Christian Slater, Sam Elliott, William Peterson, Mike Binder, and Saul Rubinek are all in it, too, in order to game some search engines? You know, for all the Rubinek-heads out there? The episode title is a BIG LEBOWSKI reference, since Bridges and Elliott were in that movie. We also considered: The Big Lewinski, Bone Allen, Capitol Gang Bang, and Hearing Impaired. Did we pick the right one? LET US KNOW. Email us at fakepresidents [at] gmail.com. We're also at Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky.
Jules was harassed by a former classmate who became obsessed after they reconnected and began dating. Their relationship lasted just two months before she ended it due to his controlling and jealous behavior. Despite telling him not to contact her again, he bombarded her with hundreds of emails and voicemails, impersonated her and her partner online, and issued numerous threats. Even after his arrest and a restraining order, the harassment persisted for years. Finally, Jules enlisted the help of attorney Carrie Goldberg, who successfully had him arrested and sentenced to 50 months in federal prison for cyberstalking and making interstate threats.

Justine was stalked by her ex-husband. During their marriage, his behavior grew increasingly controlling—he monitored her finances, scrutinized her social media, and frequently invaded her privacy by checking her phone. After she left him, his actions escalated. He began following her, bombarding her with calls, texts, and emails, and appearing uninvited wherever she went. In an effort to protect herself, Justine changed her email and phone number, blocked him on social media, moved to a new location, and even switched jobs to escape his harassment.

Elizabeth's first apartment as a new single mom started out as a fresh chapter. She quickly befriended the elderly couple next door, enjoying their company and support. However, everything changed when the couple's adult son, who had recently moved in, began acting strangely after his parents left for the summer. What started as friendly behavior shifted into something more menacing. When Elizabeth confronted him, he became aggressive, and the situation spiraled into three years of relentless stalking and harassment. Despite moving, changing jobs, and even buying a new car, the man continued to track her and make threats. Elizabeth reported him to the police multiple times, but justice was never served—not for her or any of his other victims. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Fred's experience with his dog walker took a disturbing turn. Like many busy professionals, Fred had hired a dog walker to care for his pet during long work hours. However, when the arrangement didn't work out, Fred decided to let him go. Instead of moving on, the man began stalking Fred in person and plastered harassing flyers around the neighborhood. The situation escalated to the point where Fred felt compelled to move in order to escape the relentless harassment. Eventually, the former dog walker was arrested on drug-related charges, but not before turning Fred's life into a nightmare. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Amy's experience with a man she met on the Plenty of Fish dating app quickly turned into a nightmare. At first, he seemed like the perfect match, earning her trust and gaining access to her personal information and explicit photos. But once he had what he wanted, his behavior took a sinister turn. He began stalking Amy, targeting not just her but also her family, friends, and colleagues. His harassment escalated to leaving disturbing emails, impersonating her online, and using her private information and photos to issue threats.

Essie has been relentlessly stalked for over seven years by a woman who briefly dated her child's father. After learning about Essie and the child, the woman immediately reached out to Essie, hurling insults and behaving aggressively. When Essie informed her ex about the incident, he ended the relationship with the woman. However, this only escalated the harassment. Since then, the stalker has continued to target Essie, forcing her to block dozens of social media accounts and phone numbers. The woman has even mimicked Essie's tattoos, piercings, and hairstyle, posted racist content online, and secretly photographed Essie's new boyfriend while he was at work. Despite filing reports with law enforcement, Essie's efforts to stop the stalker have been unsuccessful, leaving her trapped in a years-long cycle of harassment. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?
