Industry experts estimate synthetic identity fraud costs the financial industry as high as $95 billion a year, and the most damaging attacks pass every verification check without triggering a single alert.Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, brings 25 years of payments and fraud infrastructure experience to a direct conversation with Hal Lonas, Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, the identity verification platform trusted by Google, JP Morgan Payments, Stripe, Airbnb, and Meta.Lonas explains why detection rates hide more than they reveal, how fraudsters now add intentional imperfections to AI-generated deepfakes to beat detection systems, and why agentic commerce requires an entirely new verification layer beyond KYC and KYB. The conversation covers Trulioo's Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, the Digital Agent Passport, Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and the privacy regulation debate most compliance teams have not fully worked through.Find out more1️⃣ Ask your identity vendor for their false negative rate, not just their detection rate, and demand specific numbers.2️⃣ Build continuous monitoring into your post-onboarding workflow so your system is still watching on day 30, 60, and 90.3️⃣ Audit every automated decision model in your stack and document the logic before your next regulatory exam.4️⃣ Map your verification flow and tier friction based on real-time risk signals instead of running flat checks on every customer.5️⃣ Get your compliance and growth teams in the same room with a shared dashboard showing fraud loss rates and abandonment rates side by side.Guest:Hal Lonas LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hal-lonas-4555b1Hal Lonas X: https://x.com/hal_lonasCompany:Trulioo: https://www.trulioo.comFintech Confidential:Podcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNotifications: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSupporters:Under.io streamlines application and underwriting by digitizing PDFs for digital signature: under.io/FTCSkyflow is a zero trust data privacy vault delivered as an API, covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and beyond: skyflowsecure.comDFNS provides wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC, used by Stripe, Fidelity, and others: fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI offers real-time payment screening, AML monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to reduce false positives: gethawk.comAbout:Hal Lonas is the Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, where he leads technology strategy, product development, and engineering.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at an unprecedented pace—reshaping industries, redefining work, transforming student learning, and accelerating global competition in real time. Jurisdictions that move quickly will lead; those that hesitate risk falling behind. Ontario is at a pivotal moment—and must act decisively.On Friday, May 29, 2026, the Empire Club of Canada convened a thought-provoking panel bringing together leaders from universities, industry, and Canada's AI ecosystem to examine how Ontario can respond with urgency and turn this moment into sustained economic growth, productivity gains, and global competitiveness—while maintaining public trust.Drawing on the insights of the Council of Ontario Universities' AI Task Force, this discussion focused on the actions required now to move beyond early-stage adoption toward leadership in the global AI economy. The conversation will examine how Ontario can rapidly prepare students for an AI-driven workforce through accelerated curriculum transformation and AI-enabled learning; build secure, Canadian-based data and computing infrastructure to ensure sovereignty and strategic control; and support industry in scaling AI adoption to drive innovation, investment, intellectual property creation, and productivity across key sectors.The panel featured Vivek Goel, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Waterloo and Chair of the COU AI Task Force, a leading voice on advancing AI talent and responsible adoption; Shannon Bell, Executive Vice President, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information, OpenText, with deep expertise in scaling Canadian innovation in highly competitive global markets; and Glenda Crisp, President and CEO of the Vector Institute, at the forefront of Canada's AI research and talent ecosystem. Together, they brought a cross-sector perspective on what it will take for Ontario to act decisively and compete at speed. The panel was moderated by Vass Bednar, Managing Director, Canadian Shield Institute.Brief remarks were also be delivered by The Honourable Nolan Quinn, Ontario's Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security; and Karim Bardeesy, Member of Parliament, Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minster of Industry. This event also served as the official public launch of the Council of Ontario Universities' AI Task Force report. Attendees gained early access to its findings and engage directly with leaders shaping Ontario's response to one of the most consequential technological shifts in decades.

Four stories shaping the Canadian IT channel heading into the second week of April. SonicWall’s seven deadly sins SonicWall released its 2026 Cyber Protect Report, reframing SMB security around seven predictable failures: ignoring fundamentals, false confidence, overexposed access, reactive posture, cost-driven deferral, legacy access models, and chasing hype over execution. Key data: 88% of SMB breaches involve ransomware — more than double the enterprise rate. Identity, cloud, and credential compromise account for 85% of actionable security alerts. The average breach goes undetected for 181 days. More on this topic coming in an upcoming In The Channel episode with SonicWall’s Michael Crean. Cisco pulls compute deal registration Cisco eliminated compute deal registration effective immediately, cancelling associated promotional discountsamid rising memory costs. Partners are calling the move out of character, warning of direct margin impact. The latest development in the ongoing hardware cost squeeze affecting vendors across the board. Lenovo 360 bets on services Lenovo updated the Lenovo 360 partner framework with simplified tiers and a new Lenovo 360 for Services pathway launching April 13th, plus a new Tech Connect technical community. ChannelDive frames it plainly: Lenovo is boosting the partner program as a PC sales slowdown looms. The services pivot is the hedge. Canadian cybersecurity data CDW Canada and IDC Canada released the 2026 Canadian Cybersecurity Study based on 700+ Canadian security leaders. Cyberattacks on Canadian enterprises surged nearly 80% year-over-year; enterprise cloud infection rates hit a record 53%. The full study is available at CDW Canada. The report’s “maturity paradox” framing — security investment rising, breach success rising with it — echoes findings from Auvik and OpenText covered in last week’s episode. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to In Case You Missed It from ChannelBuzz.ca. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and this is your weekly look at the stories that matter for the Canadian IT channel community. April 6th, 2026. Four stories this week. SonicWall reframes what security actually means for SMBs. Cisco hits partners in the deal reg. Lenovo bets on services. And some sobering Canadian numbers on the state of cybersecurity. Let’s get into it. SonicWall released its 2026 Cyber Protect Report this week, and the headline is a reframe worth understanding: most SMBs aren’t losing ground to sophisticated attacks. They’re losing ground to seven predictable, preventable failures that SonicWall has named the Seven Deadly Sins of Cybersecurity. Those seven sins: ignoring the fundamentals like authentication and patching; operating with false confidence about your risk level; overexposed access with flat networks and implicit trust; a reactive security posture rather than proactive monitoring; cost-driven security decisions that defer investment until after a breach arrives; reliance on legacy access models like VPNs that authenticate once and trust everything thereafter; and chasing hype over execution — buying tools without actually deploying them properly. The supporting data is striking. SMBs see ransomware involvement in 88% of their breaches, more than double the rate at large enterprises. Identity, cloud, and credential compromise account for 85% of actionable security alerts. The average breach goes undetected for 181 days. The stolen password, not the zero-day, is the attacker’s weapon of choice. The quote from Michael Crean, their vice president of Managed Services, captures it best: “The danger isn’t that AI isn’t working; it’s that we’re using it as an excuse not to do the things we already know we should.” We’ll go deeper on this with Crean in an upcoming In The Channel episode. Watch for that in the coming weeks. Now for something that hits closer to home — specifically, closer to the margin line. Cisco has eliminated compute deal registration, effective immediately. No more deal reg on compute products, no more associated promotional discounts. The driver, per Cisco, is rising memory costs — the same hardware squeeze we’ve been tracking for weeks. Channel reaction has been blunt. Partners are calling the move out of character for Cisco and warning of lost margins. CRN’s coverage makes clear this is not a minor adjustment — it’s a structural change to how Cisco compute goes to market through the channel. This is the latest domino in the RAMmageddon effect. Memory prices surge, vendors absorb what they can, and eventually the cost lands on partners and customers. Intel and AMD both raised prices last week. Cisco just removed the cushion that was softening the impact for partners. Lenovo’s answer to the same hardware headwind looks quite different. They’ve announced updates to the Lenovo 360 partner framework, with the headline being a new Lenovo 360 for Services pathway launching April 13th. The pitch is straightforward: structured resources and incentives to move partners from transactional hardware deals toward managed and professional services. Given everything we just said about margin compression, that direction makes sense. New additions include a Lenovo 360 Tech Connect technical community and an upgraded partner portal. Not flashy, but this is exactly the kind of structural investment that matters when hardware economics are working against you. ChannelDive’s framing is the honest one: Lenovo is boosting its partner program as a PC sales slowdown looms. If you can’t win on hardware margin right now, services is where the conversation needs to go. We’ll close with some Canadian numbers worth paying attention to. CDW Canada, working with IDC Canada, surveyed more than 700 Canadian security leaders for the 2026 Canadian Cybersecurity Study released this week. The headline: cyberattacks targeting Canadian enterprises surged nearly 80% year-over-year. Enterprise cloud infection rates hit a record high of 53%, up from 41% the prior year. The report calls this a maturity paradox — organizations are investing in security architecture, but breach success rates are climbing anyway. It’s Canadian-specific data, which makes it more immediately applicable than most global threat reports for conversations with clients here at home.

RSA week may be over, but the Canadian channel news cycle kept moving. Four stories this week that deserve your attention heading into April. Sherweb goes global Sherbrooke-based cloud distributor Sherweb secured a $125 million minority equity investment from Investissement Quebec — the company’s first outside investment in 28 years of bootstrapped operation. The investment follows Sherweb’s expansion into the UK market, targeting over 11,000 MSPs, built on the acquisition of Irish distributor MicroWarehouse. CRN’s interview with Sherweb’s co-CEO confirms AI marketplace expansion and M&A ambitions. Broadcom’s VMware reckoning March 31 marks the VCSP program termination deadline in Europe. CISPE filed a formal antitrust complaint with the European Commission (Reuters). Broadcom “strongly disagrees”. VMware’s Krish Prasad told CRN there’s a “huge VCF tailwind” from memory shortages, pitching VCF 9.0 as a software solution to the hardware crisis. Independent analyst firm Virtified found roughly half of VMware users plan to reduce usage by 2028. The silicon squeeze Intel’s David Feng says Panther Lake will help regain commercial PC market share while also confirming ~10% OEM CPU price increases. AMD is signaling GPU price increases of at least 10%, driven by the same DRAM supply crisis. The AI governance gap Auvik’s 2026 IT Trends Report: 67% of IT pros are optimistic about AI, but only 5% say it’s core to operations. 76% of IT leaders believe an AI policy exists — only 42% of help desk staff agree. OpenText and the Ponemon Institute: 52% of enterprises have deployed GenAI, but 79% lack full AI maturity in cybersecurity. Two independent studies, same week, same conclusion: AI adoption is outrunning governance. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to In Case You Missed It from ChannelBuzz.ca. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and this is your weekly look at the stories that matter for the Canadian IT channel community. March 30th, 2026. Four stories this week. A Sherbrooke cloud distributor goes global after 28 years of bootstrapping. Broadcom’s VMware reckoning arrives just in time for a March 31st deadline. Intel and AMD both signal price increases that will squeeze your clients’ hardware refreshes. And two independent reports paint the same uncomfortable picture about where enterprise AI adoption actually stands. Let’s get into it. We’re starting this week with a feel-good Canadian story, and it’s a big one. Sherweb, the Sherbrooke, Quebec-based cloud marketplace distributor, has secured a $125 million minority equity investment from Investissement Quebec. And here’s the detail that makes this significant: this is Sherweb’s first outside investment ever. The company has been bootstrapped and founder-owned since 1998. Twenty-eight years without a dollar of outside capital. This comes on the heels of Sherweb’s expansion into the UK market, where they’re targeting over 11,000 MSPs. That move was built on their acquisition last year of Irish cloud distributor MicroWarehouse, so they’re not just parachuting in — they’ve got a beachhead. Put those two announcements together and the picture is clear. This isn’t a company raising money because it needs to. This is a company that’s been profitable for nearly three decades, deciding it’s time to go global, and bringing in a strategic partner to fund the expansion and, notably, M&A. CRN’s interview with Sherweb’s co-CEO made the ambitions explicit: AI marketplace expansion and acquisitions are on the table. For Canadian partners, this is worth watching. Sherweb has been a reliable, partner-first distributor for a long time. The question now is whether they can scale that model internationally without losing what made it work. Now for a very different kind of story. The Broadcom VMware saga has been building for months, and this week several threads converge at once. March 31st is the deadline for Broadcom’s termination of the VMware Cloud Service Provider program in Europe. CISPE, the European cloud infrastructure providers group, filed a formal antitrust complaint with the European Commission on March 19th, calling Broadcom’s actions — and I’m quoting here — a “death sentence” for smaller cloud providers. They’re asking for interim measures to block the shutdown while the complaint is investigated. Broadcom’s response, per CRN, was that they “strongly disagree” and that the complaint “misrepresents the realities of the market.” Meanwhile, Broadcom is making a very specific pitch to customers. Krish Prasad, who heads the VMware Cloud Foundation division, told CRN — and again, direct quote — “We have essentially solved the hardware shortage and the hardware cost issues with a software solution.” The argument is that VCF 9.0’s advanced memory tiering lets you offload expensive DRAM to cheaper NVMe storage, so the memory super-cycle becomes a reason to buy more VMware, not less. Prasad called it a “huge VCF tailwind.” Here’s the irony, and it’s hard to miss. Broadcom is simultaneously telling customers they need VMware more than ever to survive the hardware crunch, while pushing licensing and program changes that are driving those same customers to look for alternatives. And the data on customer sentiment is now documented. Independent analyst firm Virtified, founded by former Gartner VP Michael Warrilow, surveyed 450 VMware users across 14 countries and found roughly half plan to reduce their VMware usage by 2028. That’s not channel chatter. That’s documented customer intent. Whether the EU complaint gains traction or not, the market is speaking. Speaking of hardware getting more expensive — let’s talk silicon. Intel had an interesting week. Their VP David Feng told CRN that the new Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” chips will help Intel regain market share in commercial PCs. The pitch: Panther Lake brings meaningful AI processing capabilities to the commercial fleet. This is Intel’s play to win back ground they’ve lost to AMD and Apple Silicon in the enterprise. On the other hand — and this is from the same executive, same week — Intel confirmed it’s raising CPU prices for OEMs by roughly ten percent. Supply crunch, rising component costs, tariff pressure. The usual 2026 cocktail. So Intel is counting on a commercial PC refresh cycle to reclaim market share, while simultaneously making that refresh more expensive for everyone involved. And lest you think this is Intel-specific — AMD is also signaling GPU price increases of at least ten percent in 2026, driven by the same DRAM supply crisis. For partners helping clients plan hardware refreshes right now, the message is straightforward: budget accordingly, and budget up. The cost pressure is structural, not temporary. We’ll close this week with some data, and it tells a story every MSP needs to hear. Auvik released their 2026 IT Trends Report this week. The headline finding: sixty-seven percent of IT professionals are optimistic about AI. But only five percent say AI is actually core to their operations today. Five percent. That is an enormous gap between enthusiasm and reality. The governance picture is even more striking. Seventy-six percent of IT leaders believe their organization has an AI policy. Only forty-two percent of help desk staff agree. That’s not a gap, that’s leadership and the front line living in completely different realities about whether the rules even exist. Auvik also found that 61 percent of organizations discover unauthorized SaaS applications at least monthly. Shadow IT is not a hypothetical — it’s a standing Tuesday meeting. And these findings aren’t isolated. The same week, Waterloo-based OpenText released a Ponemon Institute study of nearly 1,900 IT and security practitioners. Fifty-two percent of enterprises have deployed GenAI. But seventy-nine percent haven’t reached full AI maturity in cybersecurity. Only 41 percent have AI-specific data privacy policies. Two independent studies, same week, same conclusion: AI is being deployed faster than organizations can govern it, secure it, or even agree on whether governance exists. For MSPs, this is the opportunity in neon lights. Your clients are adopting AI. They think they have policies. Their front-line staff disagrees. Someone needs to fill that gap. That’s your In Case You Missed It for March 30th, 2026. Sherweb going global, Broadcom’s VMware reckoning, the silicon squeeze, and the AI governance gap — confirmed from two independent angles.

How should life science companies govern their data to meet increasingly structured regulatory submission requirements and actually get value from AI? Cary Smithson shares lessons from decades of helping organizations modernize their regulatory, quality, and R&D operations.Cary discusses why data governance has become urgent across three fronts — structured submissions, cross-functional interoperability, and AI reliability — and walks through the foundational steps companies should take, the organizational challenges they'll hit, and what measurable results look like when governance is done right.A few of Cary's key takeaways:Regulatory submissions are no longer just documents — they're structured data that demands consistent master data, controlled vocabularies, and traceable lineageStart with scope and pain points, not a boil-the-ocean exercise — pilot governance in one or two high-value use cases, then scaleData ownership belongs in the business, not IT — IT facilitates, but stewards and business owners should be accountable for their dataTools support governance but don't replace it — get the people and process foundation right before selecting platformsAI reliability depends on governed data — without standardized inputs and clear provenance, models produce unreliable or unexplainable outputsTie governance to business outcomes people are already measured on — submission cycle time, audit readiness, right-first-time metrics — or compliance won't stickAbout Cary SmithsonCary Smithson is Managing Partner and Owner of LeapAhead Solutions, Inc., where she leads a consulting practice focused on IT strategy, data governance, and business process consulting for life sciences.

Mike DePalma, vice president of business development for cybersecurity at OpenText AI has quickly moved from an abstract talking point to a real strategic priority for managed service providers. But while enthusiasm is high, readiness — and results — are far more uneven. In this episode, I'm joined by Mike DePalma, vice president of business development for cybersecurity at OpenText, for a candid conversation about how MSPs are actually navigating the AI transition. We dig into why many partners are excited about AI, yet still unprepared to deliver it in a scalable, customer-facing way, and why that's starting to change. As MSPs gain a clearer understanding of where AI can be profitable, pricing models are evolving, and old assumptions about margins and service delivery are being challenged. Mike explains why the channel has made faster progress using AI internally than deploying it for customers, and how concepts like AI-as-a-Service are pushing providers to focus less on tools and more on business outcomes. We also talk about the return of consulting and custom project work, and why quarterly business reviews are becoming a key lever for expanding the scope of AI services. The conversation goes beyond technology to look at ecosystem dynamics: why partners want openness more than consolidation, what MSPs are asking vendors for right now, and how shifting feedback has forced OpenText to slow down changes to its partner program. Finally, Mike shares his view on what the AI opportunity will look like a year from now—and why deeper engagement with MSP communities may be more important than ever during this transition. If you're trying to separate real AI opportunity from hype, this is a grounded, practical discussion you won't want to miss.
In this episode of Partnerships Unraveled, we sit down with Jason Myers, Cybersecurity Strategist for MSP Partnerships at OpenText, to unpack the evolution of the managed services space and what he calls the shift to “MSP 3.0.” With decades of experience in cybersecurity and product strategy, Jason breaks down how the role of MSPs is transforming, from managing IT infrastructure to delivering real business outcomes through AI, automation, and cybersecurity services.For channel professionals, this episode offers a sharp look at how vendors can better enable MSPs to scale, differentiate, and future-proof their offerings. Jason shares practical strategies OpenText uses to simplify partner experience, reduce tool sprawl, and navigate complex Microsoft incentive programs without overwhelming the MSP. From peer collaboration to product bundling, the conversation highlights the new rules of growth for modern MSPs.If you work with, sell to, or support MSPs, this is your blueprint for helping them move from selling software to solving problems._________________________Learn more about Channext
Send us a textSavinay Berry, CTO of OpenText, detailed his return to the company to lead AI integration, emphasizing OpenText's extensive but often unseen role supporting essential systems for Fortune 5000 companies. He stressed the unique challenges of implementing AI in the enterprise, particularly concerning security and compliance.The discussion centered on the promise of AI agents to proactively enhance business workflows. Savinay introduced the major risk of “agent sprawl”—the operational hazard posed by unregulated AI agents—and stressed the necessity of a secure platform to govern agent behavior and data access.He also addressed AI security, comparing threats like prompt injection to traditional database vulnerabilities and acknowledging that AI advancements are rapidly increasing cybersecurity complexity. He cautioned against overestimating AI's current impact on coding quality, advocating for maintaining strong engineering fundamentals and promoting open communication between vendors and partners to ensure responsible and collaborative AI development.

What if you could turn a $5K/month business into $80K/month in under a year? That’s exactly what Chan Yuenenyi did. In this episode, Jaryd Krause chats with the founder and CEO of EssayGrader AI—the world’s leading AI grading platform trusted by over 100,000 educators. When Chan bought the business, it was generating only $5,000 per month. Fast-forward less than a year later, and he’d scaled it to $80,000/month, hitting $1M in annual recurring revenue. But here’s the twist: Chan didn’t chase shiny tactics or massive ad budgets.He used precision. Systems. Deep understanding of what users actually need. Before founding EssayGrader AI, Chan managed a billion-dollar product line at OpenText. So, he knew one thing most first-time buyers miss—buying a business is easy. Growing one takes vision.

In a world of scarce talent and shifting work, one conference dares to reimagine how we cast our teams. On Friday, 5 September 2025, Starcircle, the hiring platform that helps companies solve hiring challenges with AI and on-demand expertise, premieres Supernova 2025: Hiring at the Movies at The Cameo Cinema, The Montenotte Hotel, Cork. The latest SOLAS survey revealed 47% of hard-to-fill roles were rated "very" or "too" difficult, and 64% required salary increases to seal the deal. Inspired by these real events, Supernova is flipping the script, taking hiring teams from today's recruiting horror story to a rom-com where they fall back in love with talent acquisition. Under the theme "Hiring at the Movies," Supernova 2025 connects the craft of film casting with the future of talent acquisition. Professionals from Eli Lilly, Workhuman, OpenText and many others, will gather to discuss what's next for hiring and the nature of work, along with real steps leaders can take now. The star-studded line-up includes two of Ireland's best-known casting directors, Maureen Hughes and Louise Kiely. They will unpack the craft of spotting potential, building chemistry, and making brave choices, all critical skills for any hiring team. They're joined by keynote speaker Kevin Wheeler, whose vision of a tech-powered future may sound stranger than fiction, but is quickly becoming a reality. The machines haven't taken over just yet though, as Larry Kelly explores the power of human imagination at work and why creativity is a decisive advantage in an AI-shaped future. "Supernova is where we zoom out to see what's coming and zoom in on what to do on Monday," said James Galvin, CEO at Starcircle. "Linking hiring to the world of film makes it simple; great outcomes start with a strong vision, a bold brief, and the imagination to see talent others miss." Galvin continues, "Supernova blends big-picture thinking with practical guidance. Since our first conference in 2022, we've brought together leading experts from around the world to share their playbooks and help organisations navigate the ever-changing landscape. This year promises to be our best event yet, and you won't find a talent event like this anywhere else in the world." Supernova is invite-only.

Welcome to Reimagining Cyber! In this episode, Tyler Moffitt (Senior Security Strategist, OpenText) , dissects one of the hottest—and most misunderstood—topics in tech: the AI bubble in cybersecurity. Is AI revolutionizing threat detection and response, or are we falling for another overhyped tech trend? Tyler draws parallels to the blockchain frenzy of 2017, warning of “AI-washing,” overblown marketing claims, and venture capital-fueled hype that may be outpacing real-world results.The conversation dives into where AI is genuinely making an impact—like anomaly detection, threat intel summarization, and SOC automation—and where it's still falling short, from false positives and model drift to the black-box problem. With signs of a bubble already forming, including vendor consolidation and flashy tools that don't deliver, Tyler urges security leaders to focus on co-pilot approaches, not full automation. Bottom line? AI can be a force multiplier, but only when paired with human expertise and solid cyber hygiene.Whether you're skeptical of the buzz or curious about where AI in cybersecurity is actually working, this episode brings a grounded, no-fluff take on the state of the industry.Key Topics:Signs we're in an AI bubbleAI's real impact areas vs. marketing fluffWhy human-in-the-loop still mattersRisks of overreliance and analyst de-skillingWhat smart AI adoption looks like for security leadersTune in to cut through the noise and get real about AI in cyber.Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcast and Best 70 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts rankings.
