Le manque de médecins et de soignants pousse le secteur de la santé à repenser ses méthodes de travail. Les agents d'IA émergent donc comme une solution prometteuse pour augmenter les capacités des praticiens sans les remplacer. De la prise de rendez-vous à l'analyse d'imagerie médicale, ces technologies promettent d'optimiser l'efficacité du système de santé. Pour comprendre cette transformation, nous accueillons Xavier Perret Directeur Cloud Azure chez Microsoft, qui partage son expertise sur les applications pratiques de ces agents dans le quotidien médical.Notre invité détaille les trois niveaux d'agents d'IA : du simple agent conversationnel aux systèmes multi-agents complexes capables d'orchestrer des chaînes de tâches sophistiquées. Il explique comment ces technologies aident les médecins à gagner du temps sur les aspects rébarbatifs pour se concentrer sur leur cœur de métier, tout en garantissant la sécurité des données sensibles grâce à des architectures certifiées HDS et des solutions de chiffrement avancées.Pour en découvrir plus :https://www.capgemini.com/fr-fr/perspectives/blog/grace-a-lia-le-nez-electronique-flaire-les-maladies/https://www.capgemini.com/fr-fr/perspectives/publications/deployer-ia-de-confiance-sante/

Living in the Truth's Podcast
Harnessing Divine Memory and Imagination

Living in the Truth's Podcast

Unlocking Divine Potential Through Positive Memory and Imagination I. Introduction and Core Thesis The central message of this sermon revolves around the idea that believers possess everything they need for "divine healing, divine deliverance, favor, prosperity, perfection" within their spirit, which is where the Holy Ghost resides. The key to "releasing everything you have in your spirit" and experiencing a "forceful, powerful, and supernatural" life is a positive and God-centered use of memory and imagination. The speaker emphasizes that God desires to teach believers how to utilize these faculties in alignment with His thinking, moving away from dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties. II. Key Concepts and Themes A. The Spirit as the Source of All Divine Provision Indwelling of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Ghost, healing, the voice of God, and the power of the resurrection all reside "in your spirit." "Everything You Need": Citing 2 Peter 1, the sermon asserts, "I've given you everything you need for life and godliness. Well, I can tell you it's all in your spirit. Favor, prosperity, perfection, it's all there." Rivers of Living Water: The goal is to move from a "trickle and a drip" to a "forceful, powerful, and supernatural" flow, referencing Jesus' statement about "rivers of living water" flowing from one's "belly" (spirit). B. The Power of Memory and Imagination (Hebrew: Yet) Positive Memory as a Key: A significant portion of the sermon highlights the importance of using memory "in a positive way." This is presented as "a real key to releasing everything you have in your spirit." Avoiding "What-ifs" and "If-onlys": The speaker strongly discourages living in past regrets or hypothetical scenarios ("if only I would have done this," "what if I was born into a rich family"). "God is a today God." Imagination as Mental Image and Faith's Partner:The Hebrew word yet (translated as "thoughts" in 1 Chronicles 29:18 and "frame" in Psalm 139:15) is presented as referring to imagination. Imagination is defined as "the power of forming a mental image that is not yet present." It is directly linked to faith and hope: "This is what faith is. Faith is being sure of what you hope for. Hope is like the switch that turns on faith... Faith works with hope to produce a positive image of yourself. You're not going to be healed unless you see yourself in your mind healed." Vision and Purpose: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." God desires everyone to have a "purpose in life, a vision, some type of a calling." This ties back to the Catholic Catechism's purpose for humanity: "to know him, to love him, and to serve him in this world." C. Communion as a Tool for Positive Memory and Healing Remembering Christ's Sacrifice: Taking communion is presented as an act of remembering Jesus' "sacrifice," "finished works," and the reality of being "forgiven... healed... whole." Healing is the Children's Bread: The sermon emphasizes that "healing is the children's bread," citing the Corinthians' premature deaths due to their inability to "discern the body of the Lord" as healing. Practical Application: Communion can be taken "every day," even "three times a day," and does not require a church setting. Each instance has a "tangible presence of God" and "puts you in a status of Christ consciousness, not sin consciousness." Testimony of Healing: The speaker shares a personal testimony of his daughter's tumor disappearing after one cancer treatment, attributing it to taking communion and remembering Jesus' finished work. D. The Battle of the Mind and Overcoming Negative Imagination/Strongholds Imagination's Dual Nature: While powerful for good, imagination can be used negatively (e.g., Noah's time, Tower of Babel). Strongholds and Casting Down Imaginations: Strongholds are "something in your mind that occupies your thoughts, something that's just all consuming" (e.g., fear, hatred, anger). The battle is in the mind, and believers are called to "pulling down of strongholds... casting down imaginations... bringing thought every thought into captivity to obedience to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Paul's Example of Forgetting the Past: Paul, despite his past as a murderer of Christians, exemplified forgetting "about the things that are behind" and pressing forward, knowing he was forgiven. Thinking Like God: "As a man thinks in his heart, so he is." Believers are encouraged to "begin to think the way God thinks" by focusing on "whatsoever things are true, are noble, are lovely, are good, are excellent, are praiseworthy" (Philippians 4:8) and setting their minds "on things above, not on the things of the earth" (Colossians 3:1-2). Controlling Emotions through Positive Memory: Recalling a negative memory (like an Italian family member's 30-year grudge) illustrates how negative memories control emotions. Thanksgiving is presented as a powerful tool: "Thanksgiving will free you from every toxic emotion." God's Perspective on Memory: "You will keep him in perfect peace. Him whose mind [imagination] is stayed or focused on you." God's thoughts are not our thoughts; His ways are higher (Isaiah 55). E. God's New Covenant and His Forgiving Nature Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness: Under the New Covenant, God's nature is characterized by "grace," "mercy," and "forgiveness." The law made people "sin conscious"; Jesus made us "grace conscious" and "Christ conscious." God's Forgiveness of Sin: God's forgiveness is complete and eternal. "I will be merciful to their unrighteousness... and their sins, and their lawless deeds, I will remember no more." This means God "blotted it out of his memory." God Remembers Only the Good: At the judgment seat of Christ, God will remember only the "gold, with silver, and with precious stones" (redemptive, blessing actions) and burn away the "wood, hay, and stubble" (negative things). Believers are encouraged to emulate this and "remember only the good things of the past." God's Unconditional Love: "Father, you love them [disciples], As much as you love me." God's love is "beyond our belief, beyond our imagination." F. God's Foresight and Orchestration of Life Predestined Purpose: Psalm 139:15-16 is interpreted to mean that God "wrote everything in a book before you were born." He has "perfect foreknowledge without control," knowing when a person will choose Him and orchestrating their life accordingly. Imitating God: Believers are called to "be imitators of God as his dear children and walk in love as Christ also has loved us" (Ephesians 5:1). This means thinking and acting like Him. G. New Testament Laws (Laws of the Spirit) The sermon clarifies that "we're not under the law" of the Old Testament (10 Commandments, dietary laws, Sabbath), as they were "nailed to the cross." Instead, there are New Testament "laws" written in the mind and heart: Law of Love: "Love one another as I have already loved you" (John 13). Laws of Giving: "Give and it shall be given unto you." God desires prosperity to be a blessing to others. Law of Liberty: "Stand fast in the liberty where Christ has set us free." Not burdened by the "yoke of slavery." Law of Faith: (Romans 3:28) Not "name it and claim it." "Faith without works is dead." It requires action. Based on God's promises. Believing "they've received before you even get it." Looks back at "the finished work of Christ. It's already done." God speaks from the "inside out," not the "outside in," often through "thoughts and impressions" in one's own "vernacular." "Faith has a voice. It speaks. It's not silent. It speaks. It declares." Believers should "speak to the problem," not just tell God about it. H. Benefits of the New Covenant (Psalm 103 as Prophecy) Psalm 103 is presented as a prophetic psalm about the "finished work of Christ," not fully applicable to David in his time. "Don't forget all his benefits":"Who forgives all your iniquities." (Unlike the Old Testament's temporal forgiveness). "Who heals all your diseases." (Jesus' stripes healed us; healing is part of the atonement, "it's in your spirit"). "Who redeems your life from destruction." (Crossing from death to life; spirit is "impenetrable" by sin). "Who crowns you with loving kindness, which is the word hesed, which is grace. And he crowns you with mercy." Goodness and mercy "shall follow me all the days of my life." "Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like an eagle's." This refers to speaking life and experiencing renewed strength, effortlessly soaring like an eagle by "waiting upon the Lord." III. Practical Applications and Call to Action Daily Communion: Actively engage in communion as a daily practice to remember Christ's finished work and activate healing. Control Your Thoughts: Be intentional about focusing your mind on God's truth, positive images, and His character. Cast down negative imaginations and strongholds. Practice Thanksgiving: Cultivate a spirit of gratitude to overcome toxic emotions. Speak to Your Problems: Use your voice to declare God's will and truth over challenging situations, not just tell God about them. Live in the Present: Embrace the "I am" nature of God by focusing on "this moment" rather than past regrets or future fears. Document God's Work: Keep a "book of remembrance" of all the times God has supernaturally intersected your life. Seek Help When Needed: While God is supernatural, if struggling for years, seek help from those with spiritual gifts (visions, prophetic, word of knowledge) who can "lift you from the realm of doubt into a point of reception." IV. Distinguishing the Old and New Covenants The sermon frequently contrasts the Old Testament (law, temporary forgiveness, sin consciousness, God not forgiving all iniquities/healing all diseases) with the New Testament (grace, permanent forgiveness, Christ consciousness, complete healing, God's indwelling in the spirit). This distinction is crucial to understanding the believer's current position and access to divine power.

I, Stewart Alsop, welcomed Alex Levin, CEO and co-founder of Regal, to this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast to discuss the fascinating world of AI phone agents. Alex shared some incredible insights into how AI is already transforming customer interactions and what the future holds for company agents, machine-to-machine communication, and even the nature of knowledge itself.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:29 Alex Levin shares that people are often more honest with AI agents than human agents, especially regarding payments.02:41 The surprising persistence of voice as a preferred channel for customer interaction, and how AI is set to revolutionize it.05:15 Discussion of the three types of AI agents: personal, work, and company agents, and how conversational AI will become the main interface with brands.07:12 Exploring the shift to machine-to-machine interactions and how AI changes what knowledge humans need versus what machines need.10:56 The looming challenge of centralization versus decentralization in AI, and how Americans often prioritize experience over privacy.14:11 Alex explains how tokenized data can offer personalized experiences without compromising specific individual privacy.25:44 Voice is predicted to become the primary way we interact with brands and technology due to its naturalness and efficiency.33:21 Why AI agents are easier to implement in contact centers due to different entropy compared to typical software.38:13 How Regal ensures AI agents stay on script and avoid "hallucinations" by proper training and guardrails.46:11 The technical challenges in replicating human conversational latency and nuances in AI voice interactions.Key InsightsAI Elicits HonestyPeople tend to be more forthright with AI agents, particularly in financially sensitive situations like discussing overdue payments. Alex speculates this is because individuals may feel less judged by an AI, leading to more truthful disclosures compared to interactions with human agents.Voice is King, AI is its HeirDespite predictions of its decline, voice remains a dominant channel for customer interactions. Alex believes that within three to five years, AI will handle as much as 90% of these voice interactions, transforming customer service with its efficiency and availability.The Rise of Company AgentsThe primary interface with most brands is expected to shift from websites and apps to conversational AI agents. This is because voice is a more natural, faster, and emotive way for humans to interact, a behavior already seen in younger generations.Machine-to-Machine FutureWe're moving towards a world where AI agents representing companies will interact directly with AI agents representing consumers. This "machine-to-machine" (M2M) paradigm will redefine commerce and the nature of how businesses and customers engage.Ontology of KnowledgeAs AI systems process vast amounts of information, creating a clear "ontology of knowledge" becomes crucial. This means structuring and categorizing information so AI can understand the context and user's underlying intent, rather than just processing raw data.Tokenized Data for PrivacyA potential solution to privacy concerns is "tokenized data." Instead of providing AI with specific personal details, users could share generalized tokens (e.g., "high-intent buyer in 30s") that allow for personalized experiences without revealing sensitive, identifiable information.AI Highlights Human InconsistenciesImplementing AI often brings to light existing inconsistencies or unacknowledged issues within a company. For instance, AI might reveal discrepancies between official scripts and how top-performing human agents actually communicate, forcing companies to address these differences.Influence as a Key Human SkillIn a future increasingly shaped by AI, Sam Altman (via Alex) suggests that the ability to "influence" others will be a paramount human skill. This uniquely human trait will be vital, whether for interacting with other people or for guiding and shaping AI systems.Contact Information*   Regal AI: regal.ai*   Email: hello@regal.ai*   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/alexlevin1/

Dr. Sonja Tarrago, head of Physician Strategy and Engagement at DexCare, has created a care orchestration platform to help health systems improve patient access to care, direct patients to the proper care, and optimize provider capacity. DexCare solutions have enabled health systems to treat more patients with existing resources, increase new patient acquisition, and reduce time to care. This platform reduces long wait times, provides real-time online scheduling, and matches patient demand with provider availability.   Sonja explains, "DexCare is a care orchestration platform used by leading health systems to help manage the supply and demand of healthcare. That means that our platform helps health systems get discovered at the point of search. So, where patients are searching for care, we know that's typically Google, and then we navigate patients to the best fit care. So we do that while optimizing provider capacity and resources in real time. So, as we talk about our customers, we think that first of all, we need to acknowledge that healthcare is in crisis right now." "In addition to making care more discoverable, we're using data to help direct our patients to the right care based on what they're looking for.

Dr. Sonja Tarrago, head of Physician Strategy and Engagement at DexCare, has created a care orchestration platform to help health systems improve patient access to care, direct patients to the proper care, and optimize provider capacity. DexCare solutions have enabled health systems to treat more patients with existing resources, increase new patient acquisition, and reduce time to care. This platform reduces long wait times, provides real-time online scheduling, and matches patient demand with provider availability.   Sonja explains, "DexCare is a care orchestration platform used by leading health systems to help manage the supply and demand of healthcare. That means that our platform helps health systems get discovered at the point of search. So, where patients are searching for care, we know that's typically Google, and then we navigate patients to the best fit care. So we do that while optimizing provider capacity and resources in real time. So, as we talk about our customers, we think that first of all, we need to acknowledge that healthcare is in crisis right now." "In addition to making care more discoverable, we're using data to help direct our patients to the right care based on what they're looking for. This makes sure that the patients are getting connected to the right resources within the health systems that we work with, and we're helping to reduce bottlenecks and improve efficiencies within the health system."   "So we need to help patients find care, not find a doctor. In addition to that, I think another gap is that patients have limited access to real-time online scheduling. And by that, I don't mean a form that a patient fills out and waits for someone to get back to them. I mean a real-time slot that patients can book into."  #DexCare #CareOrchestration #DigitalHealth #CareOptimization dexcare.com Listen to the podcast here

Erum and Karl break down a concept they've lived and breathed—but rarely spelled out: orchestration. If you're building a startup in synthetic biology or advanced materials, this is a must-listen deep dive into how influence is built before your product lands or your funding closes. They pull back the curtain on how to create "value chain syndicates," why intros aren't just intros, and how real biotech momentum comes from aligning stakeholders across an entire ecosystem—not just impressing one customer.Taped just ahead of SynBioBeta 2025, this episode crackles with tactical wisdom, from designing credibility scaffolds to creating the conditions for inbound interest before traditional biz dev ever kicks in.

Music was an integral part of statecraft and identity formation in the Third Reich. Structured thematically and semiotically around the Wagnerian tetralogy of the Ring cycle, Hitler's Twilight of the Gods: Music and the Orchestration of War and Genocide in Europe (U Toronto Press, 2025) provides a sonic read of the Second World War and the Holocaust. Alexandra Birch sheds light on the specific type of music promoted under Nazism, linked to larger Teutonic mythologies and histories espoused in rhetoric and personal styling. The book explores the musical fixation of the command as it was extended to the ordinary troops of the Wehrmacht and SS in instances of musical sadism and destruction during the Holocaust. It reveals how, in constructing what was "German," this process also intentionally fashioned a subaltern other with an assigned set of music and aesthetics. The book draws on analysis of testimony and perpetrator documents to reveal the execution of this binary identity and the inclusion of music even in extreme genocidal conditions. From drinking games in the interwar period, to musical sadism in the Holocaust, to the final delusions of the command in collapse, Hitler's Twilight of the Gods illuminates how music was a component of camaraderie, identity, masculinity, and warfare.

My guest this week is the three-time Tony award-winning Broadway orchestrator Doug Besterman, whose 31 Broadway musicals include The Producers, Fosse, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and his very first show, the 1991 revival of Damn Yankees, to name only a few. During this current Broadway season, Besterman will achieve something unheard of in his field: he will have three big musicals — Death Becomes Her, Boop!, and Smash — all running simultaneously on Broadway. Making it even more remarkable, two of those shows began previews on the same night and now open on Broadway in the same week. Besterman's film credits include the live-action version of Beauty and The Beast and Frozen. TV credits include the Marc Shaiman/Scott Witman compositions for Smash, ABC's version of Annie, The Sound of Music Live, and Peter Pan Live. As Tony Award-winning choreographer Susan Stroman's orchestrator of choice, his work has been heard on Little Dancer (co-orchestrator with Larry Hochman) at The 5th Avenue Theatre and the Kennedy Center and Crazy for You at Chichester Festival and on the West End.

Jan Willem Rombouts, CEO & Founder of Beebop AI: $5.5 Million Raised to Power Grid Orchestration for the Clean Energy Transition

Beebop AI is pioneering a new middleware layer for power grid orchestration, securing $5.5 million in funding to help utilities and energy retailers optimize energy consumption and costs. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Jan Willem Rombouts, CEO and Founder of Beebop AI, to discuss how his background at Goldman Sachs and experience building his first energy tech company shaped his approach to solving one of the energy transition's biggest challenges: balancing power grids in an increasingly renewable-powered world. Topics Discussed: Jan Willem's journey from Goldman Sachs' trading floor during the financial crisis to energy tech entrepreneurship The painful lessons learned building Restore, which pioneered virtual power plants and was later acquired by Centrica How Beebop AI creates a middleware layer that orchestrates power consumption across customer devices like EVs, solar panels, and heat pumps Why power grid orchestration is critical to making renewable energy both reliable and affordable Beebop's strategic flywheel connecting utilities and device manufacturers The go-to-market strategies that helped Beebop gain traction with major European utilities   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Engineer network effects into your go-to-market strategy: Beebop designed a utility-to-OEM flywheel where each new utility customer helps bring device manufacturers onto their platform, creating a powerful network effect. Jan Willem explained: "What we designed was that we would first contract these utilities... our anticipation was that they would be able to engage with these OEMs, with these manufacturers more easily, to essentially invite them to integrate with our platform." This approach turns customers into channel partners who can open doors that would be difficult for a startup to access directly. Break through complex sales cycles with land-and-expand: When selling to utilities and large corporations with notoriously long sales cycles, Beebop starts with a low-cost, high-value initial offering focused on insights and business case validation. Jan Willem noted: "Our initial proposition is very low cost and very high value... we allow them to see what the business case is... to create somewhat of a solid launching pad on which we can then expand and go to actual operationalization." This approach shortens time-to-value and creates internal champions. Focus on customer economics, not just your technology: Despite having complex technology, Beebop leads customer conversations with how their solution impacts key metrics like customer lifetime value, margin, churn, and customer acquisition costs. "Before we have explained anything about how new our software is, where it positions in the technology stack, we just show what kind of awesome products they can build... creating tens of percentages of discounts on their energy bills." Design for global scale from day one: Based on lessons from his first company, Jan Willem deliberately architected Beebop to work with market structures that are universal across regions: "What we did this time... is we chose markets that have a universal footprint and so that look essentially the same whether you're in the UK or you're in Texas or you're in Germany or you're in Sweden." This approach avoids the scaling challenges of having to constantly adapt to different regulatory environments. Bring process to event marketing: Beebop transformed their trade show approach by adopting a disciplined, metrics-driven strategy learned from Datadog's former CMO. Jan Willem shared: "The big learning for me was to be super intentional. If you go to a trade show, be super clear about exactly how many marketing qualified, how many sales qualified leads you want out of it, and then engineer a team with different roles and responsibilities." This systematic approach yields measurable ROI from events that many startups struggle to achieve.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Cassandra Gholston, CEO & Founder of PartnerTap: $9 Million Raised to Revolutionize Partner Orchestration

PartnerTap is transforming how enterprise companies collaborate with their partners through account mapping and co-selling technology. With $9 million in funding, PartnerTap helps technology giants like Salesforce and SAP unlock revenue opportunities by enabling secure data sharing between partner ecosystems. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Cassandra Gholston, CEO and Founder of PartnerTap, to explore how her experience in software sales led her to build a solution that's changing how large enterprises drive revenue through partnerships. Topics Discussed: PartnerTap's core technology for account mapping and co-selling between enterprise partners The data-sharing challenges that prevent effective partner collaboration in enterprise sales How PartnerTap securely connects partner CRM data to identify mutual customer alignment The Fempire community that Cassandra built to connect women leaders in tech Why customer retention is more crucial than fundraising for startup success Pivoting from a bottom-up sales motion to an enterprise-focused approach Maintaining founder energy and excitement throughout the startup journey   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Focus on the enterprise early if that's your market: Despite conventional wisdom to start with smaller clients, Cassandra recognized her solution needed enterprise adoption first. "When you decide you're going to do top-down selling and sell into the largest organizations in the world as a startup, that's a hard road. Most startups are going to go after smaller companies first," she explained. This decision forced PartnerTap to mature faster in areas like security posture and enterprise readiness. Build a network effect into your GTM strategy: Cassandra targeted companies with large partner ecosystems to create natural expansion opportunities. "Going in and selling to ADP was going to bring a huge partner ecosystem. Their biggest partners became customers. This starts the network effect of PartnerTap," she shared. This approach created a built-in pipeline for future enterprise deals. Validate your concepts before going all-in: Before leaving her sales career, Cassandra methodically prepared for entrepreneurship: "I banked a lot of commission checks for over a year... We did a lot of nights and weekends where we got a co-working space and built out the wireframes, and we actually had people come in and give us feedback, like people that were our actual eventual users." This preparation reduced risk and validated market need. Be willing to pivot your GTM approach: PartnerTap initially pursued a bottom-up strategy focused on sellers, but quickly realized they needed partner teams' buy-in first. "We thought we're just going to connect sellers with partner data without the partner team. We realized pretty soon that we had to build a whole other module and pivot the way we were selling," Cassandra explained. Recognizing when your initial GTM hypothesis is wrong and adjusting quickly is crucial. Make core values actionable, not aspirational: Customer love is PartnerTap's core value, but Cassandra ensures it's lived daily through dedicated Slack channels recognizing team members who exemplify it. Their enterprise-focused success team delivers exceptional service, resulting in zero enterprise customer churn since founding—even through difficult market conditions like COVID-19. As Cassandra notes, "The kiss of death in SaaS is churn."   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Our guest on this week's episode is Andrei Quinn-Barabanov, Supply Chain Industry Practice Lead and Senior Director with Moody's. It was five years ago this month that our world was rocked with the Covid-19 virus. That is when businesses and schools closed and we were all stuck at home waiting for things to get better. All the while, supply chains kept us fed and happy at home, for the most part. Our supply chains had to adjust and they are still feeling the effects of the pandemic five years later. Our guest reflects on how supply chains reacted then and how they now will never be the same.Most of our editorial staff was at ProMat 2025 this past week in Chicago – a huge supply chain show and the largest material handling exhibition in North America.  And everywhere we looked, there were robotics and automation systems to be seen. Most distribution facilities and factories will eventually end up with a number of different types of automation and robotics within their facilities. So, the big challenge is to integrate all of these disparate systems to play nice with one another. We look at a couple of "orchestration" solutions on display at ProMat.All of the automation solutions exhibited at ProMat take power. In this episode, we look at some innovative energy solutions that keep those automation systems operating at peak performance. We also discuss an energy management solution that can potentially lower the utility bills of facilities.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

⬥GUEST⬥Allie Mellen, Principal Analyst,  Forrester | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hackerxbella/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martin⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥In this episode, Allie Mellen, Principal Analyst on the Security and Risk Team at Forrester, joins Sean Martin to discuss the latest results from the MITRE ATT&CK Ingenuity Evaluations and what they reveal about detection and response technologies.The Role of MITRE ATT&CK EvaluationsMITRE ATT&CK is a widely adopted framework that maps out the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors. Security vendors use it to improve detection capabilities, and organizations rely on it to assess their security posture. The MITRE Ingenuity Evaluations test how different security tools detect and respond to simulated attacks, helping organizations understand their strengths and gaps.Mellen emphasizes that MITRE's evaluations do not assign scores or rank vendors, which allows security leaders to focus on analyzing performance rather than chasing a “winner.” Instead, organizations must assess raw data to determine how well a tool aligns with their needs.Alert Volume and the Cost of Security DataOne key insight from this year's evaluation is the significant variation in alert volume among vendors. Some solutions generate thousands of alerts for a single attack scenario, while others consolidate related activity into just a handful of actionable incidents. Mellen notes that excessive alerting contributes to analyst burnout and operational inefficiencies, making alert volume a critical metric to assess.Forrester's analysis includes a cost calculator that estimates the financial impact of alert ingestion into a SIEM. The results highlight how certain vendors create a massive data burden, leading to increased costs for organizations trying to balance security effectiveness with budget constraints.The Shift Toward Detection and Response EngineeringMellen stresses the importance of detection engineering, where security teams take a structured approach to developing and maintaining high-quality detection rules. Instead of passively consuming vendor-generated alerts, teams must actively refine and tune detections to align with real threats while minimizing noise.Detection and response should also be tightly integrated. Forrester's research advocates linking every detection to a corresponding response playbook. By automating these processes through security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions, teams can accelerate investigations and reduce manual workloads.Vendor Claims and the Reality of Security ToolsWhile many vendors promote their performance in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Mellen cautions against taking marketing claims at face value. Organizations should review MITRE's raw evaluation data, including screenshots and alert details, to get an unbiased view of how a tool operates in practice.For security leaders, these evaluations offer an opportunity to reassess their detection strategy, optimize alert management, and ensure their investments in security tools align with operational needs.For a deeper dive into these insights, including discussions on AI-driven correlation, alert fatigue, and security team efficiency, listen to the full episode.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hackerxbella_go-beyond-the-mitre-attck-evaluation-to-activity-7295460112935075845-N8GW/Blog | Go Beyond The MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation To The True Cost Of Alert Volumes: https://www.forrester.com/blogs/go-beyond-the-mitre-attck-evaluation-to-the-true-cost-of-alert-volumes/⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:
