Guest: Monzy Merza, co-founder and CEO at Crogl Topics: We often hear about the aspirational idea of an "IronMan suit" for the SOC—a system that empowers analysts to be faster and more effective. What does this ideal future of security operations look like from your perspective, and what are the primary obstacles preventing SOCs from achieving it today? You've also raised a metaphor of AI in the SOC as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" situation. Could you walk us through what you see as the "Jekyll"—the noble, beneficial promise of AI—and what are the factors that can turn it into the dangerous "Mr. Hyde"? Let's drill down into the heart of the "Mr. Hyde" problem: the data. Many believe that AI can fix a team's messy data, but you've noted that "it's all about the data, duh." What's the story? "AI ready SOC" - What is the foundational work a SOC needs to do to ensure their data is AI-ready, and what happens when they skip this step? And is there anything we can do to use AI to help with this foundational problem? How do we measure progress towards AI SOC? What gets better at what time? How would we know? What SOC metrics will show improvement? Will anything get worse? Resources: EP242 The AI SOC: Is This The Automation We've Been Waiting For?

Inside the PLA's Accelerating Modernization: A Conversation with John Culver

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, John Culver argues that two seemingly contradictory trends define China's military this year: Xi Jinping's sweeping purge of senior PLA leaders and the PLA's rapid transformation into a far more lethal, joint-capable force. He notes unprecedented vacancies on the Central Military Commission and across theater commands—suggesting corruption is the excuse, not the cause—as Xi prioritizes loyalty and faster progress toward his ambitious reform goals. While 2027 isn't an “invasion deadline,” Culver says the PLA is racing to meet its centennial benchmarks, with September's parade showcasing a growing nuclear triad, serious investments in undersea warfare, and expanding unmanned aircraft. He cautions that any U.S.-created “hellscape” around Taiwan can be mirrored by China, which can produce equipment that is combat relevant in the Western Pacific at industrial scale. On gray-zone pressure, he casts China's Coast Guard as a paramilitary tool and says its ability to run a sustained blockade would hinge on complex command-and-control that it hasn't yet demonstrated in military exercises. Ultimately, Culver emphasizes that there is much about the PLA that remains unknown from the outside as Xi Jinping purposely keeps information opaque. This episode was recorded on October 15, 2025. John Culver is a nonresident senior fellow in the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings. Prior to retiring from the Central Intelligence Agency in 2020, he served since 1985 as an analyst and manager on China, with a particular focus on the People's Liberation Army. From 2015 to 2018, Culver served as national intelligence officer for East Asia (NIO-EA). He was a founding member of the CIA's Senior Analytic Service, was in the Senior Intelligence Service, and was a recipient of the CIA's Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, and the William L. Langer Award for extraordinary achievement in the CIA's analytic mission.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi Skips ASEAN Summit as Trump Heads to Malaysia Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ASEAN Summit virtually, skipping what's being billed as the largest gathering of world leaders in ASEAN history. The decision, officially linked to Chhath Puja, comes as US President Donald Trump lands in Kuala Lumpur in person. Over 30 leaders, including China's Li Qiang and Brazil's Lula, are attending. With India-US ties strained by Trump's steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods, Modi's absence avoids an awkward meet without a trade breakthrough. Talks to reduce tariffs to 15–16% are ongoing, but India is treading carefully amid delicate diplomacy — balancing QUAD and BRICS ties at once. Kuala Lumpur, meanwhile, is under lockdown with 16,000 officers on duty. Siddaramaiah's Son Upsets Karnataka's Succession Equation Yathindra Siddaramaiah has thrown a curveball into Karnataka politics by backing minister Satish Jarkiholi as his father's successor — sidelining Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. With the Congress government hitting its halfway mark, talk of a “November revolution” is gaining traction. For Shivakumar, once seen as next in line, the message is clear: the race is no longer his alone. Indian Army Goes Tech-First India's Army is arming up for the future — signing a ₹2,770-crore deal with Bharat Forge and Adani's PLR Systems for 4.25 lakh modern carbines. New drone platoons and elite commando battalions are rolling out, while US-made Javelin missiles are being added. The shift marks a major leap from manpower-heavy to AI-driven combat readiness. Meta Cuts 600 Jobs in AI Reality Check Meta's AI dream just hit turbulence — 600 layoffs at its AI Superintelligence Labs. Despite a $14 billion spree to hire top AI talent, several big names have already quit. CEO Alexandr Wang says “leaner is faster,” but the move reveals internal tension between expensive new hires and a thinning support base. Trump Slaps Russia with Oil Sanctions, Eyes India Next President Trump has sanctioned Russia's oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil, warning Putin to end the Ukraine war. The move also turns the heat on India, with Trump insisting Modi promised to cut Russian oil imports — claims New Delhi hasn't confirmed.

AI will not fix a broken data foundation. Fix the foundation first. I sat down with Richard Ganley, SVP, Global Partners at Informatica, to unpack a simple blueprint for AI-ready data modernization on The Ravit Show!!!!What we covered -- • Why modernization is now urgent: legacy stacks create scattered data, hand-coded pipelines, high cost, and low trust in reports• The goal state: a unified, automated platform where data is discoverable, governed, and trusted so teams move faster and spend less• Why partners matter: 650 active partners. 35% of new business is partner-sourced. Partners are involved in about 90% of opportunitiesHow the work gets done -- • Partner accelerators scan thousands of legacy jobs, map dependencies, and automate code conversion to modern Informatica mappings• LTIMindtree's IRX is a good example. Plan with automated analysis. Execute with 60–70% automated conversion. Validate with automated testing. Less manual effort. Fewer errors. Predictable timelinesProof it works• Statewide healthcare provider: 70% automation in migration, 30% less effort, 3x cost savings after decommissioning legacy and moving to cloud• Global financial services firm: regulatory reporting time cut from weeks to days, data quality score up 40% in year one, millions saved by reducing manual reconciliation and riskIf you are staring at a complex legacy environment and want a clear path to AI-ready, this conversation will help.

Today, we sat down with Bob Stevens from GitLab to put this development into perspective, examine some use cases, and suggest methods that federal agencies can use to prepare for this technological shift. What precipitated the initiative is the recognition that change is occurring so rapidly in the world of software development that the federal government must adapt more quickly than in the past, or it will be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Stevens notes that the federal government has been targeting modernization, producing software faster, and being more efficient, for a decade. AI will help them get there, with some possible cost reduction. For example, in the past, a vulnerability may have taken weeks to discover. Utilizing AI allows federal software developers to reduce that discovery to minutes. That ties in with one essential element in the White House initiative: security. In fact, one of the pillars of the Action Plan is titled “Promoting Secure-by-Design AI Technologies and Applications.” Stevens has been involved in federal software development for decades and thinks that a platform approach best serves the essential objectives of this Action Plan. The conversation concludes with the potential for AI to streamline government processes and improve operational efficiency.

Cost overruns stem from necessary infrastructure upgrades, including replacing thousands of miles of digital command and control cabling and building new silos. Maintaining the ICBM deterrent is financially and strategically crucial, saving hundreds of billions compared to relying solely on submarines.

The payments landscape is experiencing regulatory upheaval, forcing financial institutions to rethink their approach to money movement modernization. With ISO message format changes, Swift updates, and evolving fraud requirements hitting simultaneously, banks are facing a complex web of compliance demands that require immediate attention. "The regulatory agenda for money movement is probably one of the most aggressive we have," said Elaine Duff, SVP and Head of Money Movement at FIS. "It's across the globe. We're seeing the ISO message intended to help firms standardize their messaging, become more efficient, and make their operations much more standardized." Yet the scale of change extends far beyond simple messaging updates. The oncoming change affects fraud tools, digital channels, reporting formats, and entire operational workflows. For many institutions, the traditional rip-and-replace approach to modernization has become both financially and operationally untenable. Nick Dovaras, Global Account Manager at AWS, emphasized the broader pressures driving urgency: "There's customer expectations as well. Customers are expecting 24/7, instant, and customer-friendly mobile applications that are connected to online systems.” Dive into this episode to hear about how financial institutions are navigating regulatory pressures through modular modernization strategies. FIS' Duff and AWS' Dovaras break down the critical role embedded fraud protection is playing in real-time payments, and why cloud-based solutions are enabling banks to modernize their money movement capabilities without the risks of traditional rip-and-replace approaches.

By now, just about every listener has heard of Nutanix partnering with the federal government in a wide range of projects. Today, an update with Greg O'Connell from Nutanix. He demonstrates how federal agencies can leverage Nutanix's experience to achieve mission success across various cloud environments. During the interview, O'Connell gives a basic comparison of multi-cloud vs. hybrid cloud. From his perspective, a multi-cloud environment includes one or more public cloud providers. A hybrid cloud enables a system that combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services. This allows a single, integrated environment, providing more control over access, compliance, and ability to connect with legacy systems. Existing applications and data always present a challenge in moving to the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. Nutanix brings to federal technology its ability to work with legacy systems in a system that has been evaluated over time. Most federal leaders may wonder what is taking place in other agencies. To that end, Nutanix provides an annual report on cloud activities. The 7th Annual Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index Report highlights that 94% of US government entities utilize AI, but 76% require infrastructure improvements.

As we look towards SOAPA 2025, how do you see the ongoing debate between consolidating security around a single platform versus a more disaggregated, best-of-breed approach playing out?  What are the key drivers for either strategy in today's complex environments? How can we have both “decoupling” and platformization going at the same time? With all the buzz around Generative AI and Agentic AI, how do you envision these technologies changing the future of the Security Operations Center (and SOAPA of course)?  Where do you see AI really work today in the SOC and what is the proof of that actually happening?

This is an important vote for the future, so let's explain what the proposed changes are and why.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
