Interview with Keith Hollender, CEO and Co-Founder of Arcova Why AI Security Is Becoming an Execution Problem, Not Just a Governance Problem As enterprises move from AI experimentation to adoption at scale, security leaders are under pressure to enable innovation without introducing unmanaged risk. The challenge is no longer whether organizations should pursue AI, but how they can govern it, secure it, and operationalize it in ways that stand up to real-world business and threat conditions. In this conversation, Keith Hollender discusses what Arcova is seeing across enterprise environments as organizations work to connect cybersecurity, AI governance, resilience, and broader transformation priorities. He explores where companies are getting stuck, why traditional siloed approaches are falling short, and what it takes to move from strategy decks to secure execution. Keith also shares how Arcova's practitioner-led, relationship-driven model helps organizations turn complexity into clarity by embedding with client teams, solving urgent problems hands-on, and building capabilities designed to last. The conversation also covers Arcova's continued growth, including expansion into the Middle East, and what global demand signals reveal about the next phase of cybersecurity and AI consulting.

The TL;DR - defense contractors have been required to comply with CMMC controls for years, but self-attestation means that many probably haven't been meeting the requirements. Perhaps, rather than have tons of defense contractors fail the test, they just suspended the requirement for the test itself. I think Howard Holton nails it here when he says: "100,000 defense contractors needed third-party assessments. Roughly 100 authorized assessors exist. That's 1,000 assessments each, with the deadline in November." PCI already created a model that works for a scenario like this. If you're small, you self-assess. If you're big enough, an independent auditor comes to check you out once a year. I'm sure they were probably aware of this and chose not to go down that path for some reasons.

Imagine a dark warehouse. Racks and racks of devices with wires, tubes, and electronics sticking out. The next AI data center? No. This is Lila Sciences‘ dream for the future of science. A dark warehouse full of AI-guided robotics and lab equipment, cranking out new experiments 24/7, building toward a scientific superintelligence.Their automated lab is almost hypnotizing to watch. They have floating plates zipping around on Wall-E-esque tracks, used vision-language models to control Windows 95 boxes, and created the world's largest collection of voided warranties. In the process they've built a massive library of scientific reasoning tokens. Over 10 trillion of them, all experimentally validated.No warranties were voided in the making of this videoTo say Lila is ambitious is an understatement. Their goal is a scientific superintelligence wired directly into the wet lab. They are all in on the bitter lesson, and the thesis follows from it: a lab is an infinite token generator. Produce data at scale, and the synergies give you a general reasoner that can tackle any scientific problem. They are committing hard. Biology, chemistry, drug discovery, and materials science, all at the same time. Time will tell if it works, but it is an exciting hypothesis.In our latest episode we sat down with Lila's very own Andy Beam (CTO) and Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli (CSO, physical sciences) and went on a journey through the possibilities of AI-run science, almost as wide-ranging as Lila's goals.Did we mention they do both materials science and biology? In the same AI science factory? Same time, same lab, same AI. Finally a guest who can settle a long-running debate we've had amongst ourselves: is biology or materials science harder?Watch to find out!We discuss:* The internet is spent, science is next. Why Lila thinks the scientific method is the last untapped internet-scale dataset, and why they treat RL as a data generation mechanism with nature as the verifier.* The lab as a data center. Instruments as nodes on a graph, a magnetically levitating “PCI bus” transport layer between them, orchestration as a slurm queue. Andy is not short on analogies.* Why Lila insists it is not an automation company. They optimize for flexibility and generalizability over raw throughput, which means humans stay below the API line wherever automating does not pay.* Your experiment has a runtime. We put Escalante Bio's question to Andy: if science is the token generator, what is the runtime of your data collection? His answer, in short, is that you cannot make the ribosome go faster. Why Lila bets on fast round-over-round iteration rather than big noisy multiplexed screens, and how Rafa's team rebuilt a gas sorption measurement to run roughly 2,500x faster.* What is actually in 10 trillion scientific tokens. Not sequences. Experimentally verified reasoning traces, a kind of data that Andy argues exists on the internet in quantities that round to zero.* Breadth as a path to depth. Small molecule chemistry priors transferring to metal organic frameworks for carbon capture, and the claim that the general model beats domain-specific models sample for sample.* If you have the data, what do you need the model for? Sri Kosuri's koan about the ML-for-drug-discovery business model, and Andy's answer: the coding model got better because it also read Shakespeare and carnitas recipes.* The serendipity they want to automate. Emily Whitehead survived the first pediatric CAR-T cure only because the doctor treating her happened to know, from pediatric arthritis, which antibody would blunt her IL-6 response. Roll that dice again and you probably lose her. Breadth is how you stop depending on luck.* Move 37 for catalysts. Model suggestions for platinum-group-free electrocatalysts that went from boring, to what a 40-paper expert called stupid, to the best performers they have made.* Six months to in vivo CAR-T data in non-human primates, and the zero-FTE virtual startup commercial model that fell out of it. For context on why that number is startling, AbbVie paid $2.1B for Capstan on the strength of preclinical in vivo CAR-T data.* You cannot have scientific superintelligence if you are just a good test taker. Ken Stanley, who wrote Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, runs open-endedness at Lila. RL at scale gives you a ruthlessly Vulcan problem solver. Machine creativity is a different thing, and it is the part nobody has solved.* The chain of thought is an unreliable narrator. The model reasons in latent space and only emits tokens. Sometimes it skips the experiment entirely and is still right. So how much do you trust the reasoning versus the verifier?* Reward hacking when the rollout is physical. Chains of thought that collapse into repetition, and a model that got annoyed and swore at the scientist who kept asking it to redo a plate map. What happens when a pathological loop has a wet lab inside it?* The bittersweet lesson. Rafa's inversion of the bitter lesson: in AI, scaling is a roadmap. In materials, scaling is a filter, because only the things that scale end up mattering.* Not your typical Flagship company. Why a famously single-asset biotech incubator spun out a platform bet, and Andy's line that if Lila called itself a biopharma it would have a top-three GPU cluster.* Bottlenecks they would remove by fiat. Sim-to-real for physics-based simulation, and the fact that RL training runs at roughly 5% mean FLOP utilization.Watch on YouTube: This is a public episode.

LE BRIGATE ROSSE DI MARIO MORETTI è uno speciale estivo in due puntate di True Crime Diaries, il podcast di Jacopo Pezzan e Giacomo Brunoro pubblicato da LA CASE Books.In questo mini podcast ricostruiamo la storia delle Brigate Rosse attraverso la figura di Mario Moretti, uno dei protagonisti centrali della lotta armata in Italia durante gli anni di piombo.Il racconto parte dalle fabbriche del Nord Italia alla fine degli anni Sessanta, dalla Milano operaia, dalla Sit-Siemens, dai collettivi politici e dalla nascita della propaganda armata. Attraverso la parabola di Moretti, la puntata analizza il passaggio alla clandestinità, la costruzione delle colonne brigatiste, il rapporto con il Partito Comunista Italiano e la strategia dell'attacco al cuore dello Stato.E poi, naturalmente, il caso Moro. Il 16 marzo 1978, in via Fani a Roma, le Brigate Rosse rapiscono il presidente della Democrazia Cristiana e uccidono gli uomini della scorta. Iniziano così i 55 giorni che cambiano la storia della Repubblica italiana. La prigionia di Moro, le lettere, il fronte della fermezza, il ruolo della Democrazia Cristiana e del PCI, il fallimento della trattativa e l'uccisione del 9 maggio 1978 rappresentano uno dei passaggi più drammatici della storia italiana del Novecento.LE BRIGATE ROSSE DI MARIO MORETTI è uno speciale di True Crime Diaries che parla di terrorismo, politica, Stato, fabbriche, carcere, memoria pubblica e responsabilità individuali. Una storia italiana che attraversa gli anni di piombo e continua a interrogare il rapporto tra violenza politica, giustizia e memoria collettiva.

About 100 authorized assessors. An estimated 118,000+ companies that need to be assessed. That math is the reason CMMC can't wait — and it's where this conversation starts. Brett Cox, lead CMMC Certified Assessor and head of Boeing's DFARS CMMC Program Management Office, joins host Jen Stone to explain what the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification actually requires, why the November 2026 third-party assessment deadline is creating a bottleneck, and how a small or mid-sized contractor should take the first step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phase 2 — the third-party (C3PAO) assessment requirement — goes live November 10, 2026. The right to waive the requirement goes away in 2028. Under CMMC, you must verify the subcontractor below you holds the required level before you can award them work. Their compliance is now your problem. The bottleneck is real: ~100 assessors vs. ~118,000 companies. Expect a months-long queue — get in line now. COTS (unmodified commercial off-the-shelf) is the only exemption, and there's no minimum dollar threshold. Modify a part and it's no longer exempt. You can't use the same company for both readiness consulting and your assessment. First step: decide your level (FCI vs. CUI), download the scoping and assessment guides from the DoD CIO site, and start your gap analysis.

Valerio Varesi"E' sangue di noi tutti"Neri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itReggio Emilia, 7 luglio 1960. Nella piazza dei Teatri sono arrivati a decine di migliaia, richiamati dal Pci e dal sindacato per protestare contro l'imminente Congresso del Movimento sociale italiano a Genova, città medaglia d'oro della Resistenza. Sono ex partigiani, operai, ragazzi, le magliette a strisce per riconoscersi, i cartelli stretti in pugno, sulle labbra le canzoni della Resistenza e gli slogan gridati contro il governo Tambroni, eletto proprio grazie ai voti dell'Msi. Sono tantissimi, il loro entusiasmo fa paura. I poliziotti della Celere arrivano in piazza per sgomberarla, spegnere le proteste sul nascere, tacitare le voci sempre più forti. Arrivano con licenza di sparare. Sparano. In quarantacinque minuti di mattanza muoiono in cinque: Lauro Farioli, Ovidio Franchi, Emilio Reverberi, Marino Serri e Afro Tondelli, ragazzi, padri di famiglia, tutti ugualmente attoniti di fronte alla polizia che apre il fuoco su gente disarmata. Questa giornata di sangue, tuttavia, non arriva dal nulla: le sue radici affondano nei quarant'anni che l'hanno preceduta, nelle traiettorie singole plasmate da forze storiche opposte. Come quella di Afro Tondelli che, di origini contadine, cresce testimone della brutalità squadrista ed entra nella Resistenza; e quella dell'uomo senza nome che preme il grilletto – uno fra i tanti educati dal fascismo alla violenza politica – di cui l'autore immagina origini, percorsi e ragioni. In pagine vivide e adamantine, Valerio Varesi narra così queste due vite unite da un tragico giorno d'estate. È il romanzo di una strage, emblema della frattura mai ricomposta di un Paese senza memoria.Ci si genuflette per pregare, per rendere omaggio a una divinità, a un santo o a una donna. Ma il poliziotto si è genuflesso per uccidere. A volte i gesti capovolgono il loro senso. E con essi anche quello della Storia, che inverte la marcia e rigurgita il passato.«Valerio Varesi sottrae all'oblio storie passate che meritano di essere ricordate per affrontare il nostro presente». AvvenireValerio Vares, giornalista e scrittore italiano (1959). Laureatosi in Filosofia, ha iniziato la sua carriera giornalistica nel 1985, collaborando come corrispondente di vari quotidiani, tra cui La Stampa, la Gazzetta di Parma e la Repubblica. Autore di romanzi gialli, ha esordito nella letteratura nel 1998 con Ultime notizie di una fuga, in cui compare per la prima volta la figura del commissario Soneri, protagonista di altri polizieschi di V., ai quali è stata ispirata una serie di sceneggiati televisivi dal titolo Nebbie e delitti. Tra gli altri libri con il commissario Soneri protagonista si ricordano: Il Fiume delle nebbie (2003), L'Affittacamere (2004), Le Ombre di Montelupo (2005), A mani vuote (2006), Oro, incenso e polvere (2007), La casa del comandante (2008), Il commissario Soneri e la mano di dio (2009), Il commissario Soneri e la strategia della lucertola (2014), Il commissario Soneri e la legge del Corano (2017), La paura nell'anima (2018), Reo confesso (2021) e Vuoti di memoria (2024). Nel 2002 ha vinto il Premio Fedeli con il romanzo Il cineclub del mistero. Tra gli altri romanzi: Le Imperfezioni (2007), Il paese di Saimir (2009), Lo stato di ebbrezza (2015), Un marito (2018) e L'ora buca (2020).

Quando un personaggio politico riceve l'elogio di un Pontefice (Francesco nella storica telefonata del 25 aprile 2014 e poi in altre occasioni) e di un Presidente della Repubblica (Mattarella ieri su Repubblica e anche lui in varie altre occasioni), sia dell'autorità spirituale che di quella secolare, significa che è stato un Vincitore con la maiuscola.Ma il vincitore di fatto, colui che ha imposto la propria ragione, non automaticamente è anche il vincitore di diritto, colui che aveva ragione. Anche i Papi, talvolta, e anche i Presidenti, più spesso, danno medaglie a chi ha avuto la meglio, non a chi ha generato il meglio. Se i vincitori avessero solo perciò ragione, essere perdenti sarebbe sempre una sciagura, invece è spesso una provvidenza.Nei confronti di Marco Pannella ci collochiamo tra i perdenti, tra quelli che avevano ragione e la conservano gelosamente. Chi violenta la natura delle cose commette ingiustizia, chi fa della democrazia «l'organizzazione della disorganizzazione» (De Corte) dissolve l'ordine naturale su cui la società è costruita e la trasforma in una "dissocietà". Non c'è alcun dubbio che Pannella sia stato un grande protagonista in questo campo, il Migliore, ma dalla legge sul divorzio in poi è stata una progressiva discesa agli inferi.Non è il caso di ripetere qui la rassegna della dissoluzione prodotta, tanto è tristemente nota. Può essere più interessante, invece, esaminare meglio l'idea che Pannella sia stato un anticipatore dei tempi, colui che si pone controcorrente (come ha anche ricordato Mattarella ieri), che anticipa il futuro con rischio personale, un profeta capace di vedere quanto nessun altro ancora vedeva.IL REFERENDUM SUL DIVORZIONella seconda metà degli anni Sessanta e nel primo lustro dei Settanta del secolo scorso, la società italiana era già ampiamente secolarizzata. Il libro di Augusto Del Noce L'epoca della secolarizzazione è del 1970, ma l'analisi della situazione e del probabile futuro che ci attendeva era già stata scritta da lui nel 1964 ne "Il problema dell'ateismo". Nel 1970 è stata approvata la legge Fortuna-Baslini sul divorzio, ma col suo libro Del Noce mostra che le basi sociali e culturali erano già state poste prima.Nel 1974 Pannella e i Radicali guidarono il fronte del no al referendum sul divorzio. Ma in contemporanea anche Pedrazzi, Zizola, Scoppola, La Valle coalizzarono un fronte cattolico molto radicato e diffuso a favore del "no", segno che il terreno era già pronto e l'esito non fu prodotto solo dal pioniere Pannella. Quell'appello dei cattolici democratici per il no al referendum fu firmato da qualche migliaio di aderenti, con molti nomi di spicco che già occupavano posti di grande rilievo nella vita italiana, politica, sindacale e culturale.Va anche ricordato che dei nuovi diritti al divorzio e all'aborto parlavano proprio in quell'epoca grandi teologi cattolici progressisti. Si faccia attenzione alle date. Per esempio, nel 1971 Hans Küng pubblicava il suo Essere cristiani nel quale forniva il quadro teologico progressista per l'appoggio alle richieste, diciamo così, "pannelliane", dandovi, ovviamente, un substrato di pensiero non paragonabile a quello di Marco. Nel 1972, Karl Rahner parlava di liceità dell'aborto nel suo libro Trasformazione strutturale della Chiesa come compito e come chance, pur essendo a quell'epoca ancora lontani dall'approvazione della legge 194 del 1978 e dalle battaglie per l'aborto di Pannella e Bonino che conversero nel referendum del 1981.TEOLOGIA MODERNISTAIn altre parole, Pannella era stato anticipato perfino dalla teologia modernista cattolica. Certo, ricordare che a Küng fu ritirata la missio canonica per insegnare all'università di Tubinga proprio per il suo libro Essere cristiani fa capire che i Pontefici di allora non erano ancora pronti ad elogiare un Pannella come vincitore, ma nel mondo cattolico molto si era mosso prima di lui e attorno a lui. La discesa agli inferi ebbe molti altri pionieri.Pannella è stato una guida alla secolarizzazione nichilista della società italiana, oppure è stato guidato? Possiamo dire che ha fiutato una situazione che era già in corso e che per molti versi lo aveva anche anticipato. I successi del Partito radicale non sarebbero stati possibili senza che il PCI diventasse quel "partito radicale di massa" previsto da Del Noce. E il gramscismo era già molto attivo anche prima che Del Noce ne parlasse nel 1978 nel libro il Suicidio della rivoluzione. È importante non fare di Pannella il solitario profeta anticipatore del suo e del nostro tempo, in questo modo si possono comprendere meglio le ragioni del suo "successo" di cui si parlava all'inizio. In questo quadro è doveroso anche ricordare il suo essere sempre stato prima di tutto un "liberale". Questo ci porta a riprendere in mano il senso intimo del pensiero liberale e della sua profonda influenza sugli avvenimenti di cui Pannella è stato protagonista.Certamente abbiamo avuto molte versioni di questo pensiero, ma ciò non esclude un punto essenziale in comune: l'uomo visto come individualità emancipata e liberante se stessa e lo Stato come individualità chiamata a garantire questo diritto, anche allargandone progressivamente gli eventuali confini. Pannella ha lavorato per far coincidere le due istanze, ma non le ha inventate perché sono state esse ad inventare lui.

This episode is part of our comprehensive Decipher the Guidelines Series covering the 2025 ACC/AHA/ACEP/NAEMSP/SCAI Guideline for the Management of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes. The following question refers to Section 5.2.1 of the 2025 ACS Guidelines. The question is asked by Thomas Jefferson medical student and CardioNerds Academy Intern Dr. Grace Qiu, answered first by Henry Ford Interventional cardiology fellow and member of the CardioNerds Interventional Cardiology Council Dr. Li Pang, and then by expert faculty Dr. Michelle O'Donoghue. Dr. O'Donoghue is a cardiologist, senior investigator with the TIMI Study Group, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School who holds the McGillycuddy-Logue Endowed Chair in Cardiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She was the Vice Chair of the Writing Committee for the 2025 ACS Guidelines. Question #2 A 63-year-old woman presented to the emergency room for chest pain. She described having exertional chest pain for the past two months and had an episode of severe pain after dinner 3 days ago. She went to bed and slept it off. She told her children today at a family gathering, and was immediately brought to the ED by her daughter. She has a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. She was asymptomatic and normotensive in the ED. Labs show a down-trending troponin and an elevated NT-proBNP but are otherwise unremarkable. Her ECG showed Q waves with ST elevation in V2-V4. She was treated with aspirin and heparin drip, and taken to the cath lab. Coronary angiogram showed complete proximal LAD occlusion with right-to-left collaterals, without significant residual disease elsewhere. She remains asymptomatic and is stable, both hemodynamically and electrically. What is the next best step with regard to reperfusion and anti-thrombotic management? A Proceed with primary PCI to LAD B Medical management with aspirin and enoxaparin C Medical management with aspirin and clopidogrel D Medical management with aspirin and ticagrelor Answer #2 Explanation The Correct answer is D In patients who are stable with STEMI and have a totally occluded infarct-related artery >24 hours after symptom onset and are without evidence of ongoing ischemia, acute severe HF, or life-threatening arrhythmia, PPCI should not be performed due to lack of benefit. (Class 3, LOE B-R) The benefit of PPCI begins to diminish after >12 hours from symptom onset, but there appears to be continued benefit through approximately 24 hours. In stable asymptomatic patients with an occluded artery >48 hours after symptom onset, routine PCI has not been shown to be beneficial in the absence of ongoing ischemia. The relative utility of routine PCI for asymptomatic patients with STEMI between 24 and 48 hours from symptom onset is less rigorously tested. PCI is not recommended for an occluded infarct-related artery if the patient is asymptomatic and has a completed infarct. MACE outcomes were similar in those with an occluded infarct-related artery who underwent medical therapy versus those who underwent PCI 3 to 28 days after an MI (Occluded Artery Trial [OAT]), and results were no different at 7-year follow-up. Similar findings were noted in the DECOPI (Desobstruction Coronaire en Post-Infarctus) trial, which enrolled patients with an occluded artery and Q waves on the ECG presenting 2 to 15 days after symptom onset. However, coronary revascularization should be considered for patients with late presentations with continued signs and symptoms of ischemia, including cardiogenic shock, acute severe HF, persistent angina, and life-threatening arrhythmias. Main Takeaway In patients who are stable with STEMI who have a totally occluded infarct-related artery >24 hours after symptom onset and are without evidence of ongoing ischemia, acute severe HF, or life-threatening arrhythmia, PPCI should not be performed due to lack of benefit.

Leopoldo Santovincenzo"Invito a pranzo con pistola"Storia dimenticata del primo sequestro politico nell'Italia degli anni Sessanta.Solferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.itMilano, 28 settembre 1962, ore 12.15. Un gruppetto di studenti anarchici ventenni sequestra il viceconsole spagnolo Isu Elias.L'espediente è un finto invito a pranzo, il movente: impedire l'esecuzione di un anarchico spagnolo, arrestato e condannato a morte pochi giorni prima nella Spagna franchista.I rapitori improvvisati si affrettano a comunicare ai giornali che «il dottore non corre alcun pericolo». Ma è comunque il primo sequestro politico nell'Italia del Dopoguerra e sulla scena fanno capolino molti volti destinati ad avere un ruolo nella storia politica e culturale del nostro Paese: il maggiore dei carabinieri Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa che partecipa agli interrogatori, Rossana Rossanda in missione spagnola per il PCI, il «principe nero» Junio Valerio Borghese, lo scrittore Luciano Bianciardi che si affaccia sulla soglia del bar Jamaica in Brera, il cardinale Montini (futuro papa), Pietro Valpreda, Pino Pinelli e molti altri ancora.Leopoldo Santovincenzo ricostruisce, con scrittura serrata e montaggio narrativo, la storia affascinante di un fatto di cronaca tanto incredibile quanto dimenticato e lo fa con il ricorso a documenti e testimonianze inedite, disegnando con sapienza il contesto politico e culturale di un periodo di apertura ideale che precede le trame nere e gli anni di piombo. Una breve stagione dove era ancora possibile riconoscere a un atto di forza «motivi di particolare valore morale e sociale».Leopoldo Santovincenzo lavora in Rai dai primi anni Novanta, attualmente nella Direzione Cinema e Serie Tv. Dal 2008 si occupa della programmazione editoriale di Rai 4. Ha scritto e diretto numerose produzioni televisive, tra cui il magazine Wonderland, nato nel 2011, Felliniana (2002), Heimat. La macchina del tempo di Edgar Reitz (2003), Pasolini 1975 (2005), Federico e gli spiriti (2020), Corto Maltese-Gli Anni dell'avventura (2022), I nomi della rosa (2025).

Gavino Angius "Ambizione e disincanto"Storie e ombre della RepubblicaBordeaux Edizioniwww.bordeauxedizioni.itUna riflessione appassionata sulla storia politica e civile dell'Italia dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale fino ai giorni nostri. Muovendosi tra memoria personale, analisi storica e giudizio politico, Gavino Angius ripercorre i momenti cruciali che hanno segnato la nascita e lo sviluppo della Repubblica: la Resistenza, la costruzione della Costituzione, le tensioni della guerra fredda, le trasformazioni sociali del dopoguerra, gli anni della violenza politica e delle stragi, fino alla crisi della politica e ai cambiamenti più recenti del panorama istituzionale. Il racconto non è soltanto una ricostruzione storica, ma anche una meditazione civile sulle promesse e sulle contraddizioni della democrazia italiana. Attraverso episodi, ricordi e analisi, l'autore si interroga sul rapporto tra antifascismo, memoria e presente, chiedendosi se gli ideali che hanno fondato la Repubblica siano stati pienamente realizzati o se, al contrario, la storia italiana sia stata segnata da profonde fratture e da persistenti ombre. Il libro propone così uno sguardo critico e insieme partecipe su ottant'anni di storia nazionale, invitando il lettore a riflettere sul futuro della democrazia e sul valore della memoria come strumento indispensabile per comprendere il presente.Gavino Angius (1946) è stato uno dei protagonisti della vita politica della sinistra italiana. Militante del Partito Comunista Italiano, ha ricoperto nel corso degli anni importanti incarichi parlamentari e di partito. È stato senatore della Repubblica e vicepresidente del Senato, distinguendosi per il suo impegno sui temi della democrazia, dei diritti sociali e della memoria storica dell'antifascismo.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Passwords were built for a different era of the internet. It's time to move past shared secrets to close your organization's largest threat vector for good.Traditional passwords and legacy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are no longer enough to protect your business. Automated, scaling phishing toolkits easily intercept shared secrets, leaving small and medium businesses highly vulnerable to credential breaches.In this episode, Jen sits down with Nishant Kaushik, Chief Technology Officer at the FIDO Alliance, to translate complex cryptographic standards into an actionable, resource-light deployment plan. Learn how to transition away from legacy authentication and close the hidden operational loopholes that hackers actively exploit.What You Will Learn:The Flaw in Basic MFA: Why SMS codes and standard one-time passwords (OTPs) are failing, and what true "phishing-resistant" security means.The Account Recovery Trap: Why a weak "Forgot Password" workflow accidentally gives hackers their primary attack vector back—and how to fix it.The Bottom-Line Benefit: How moving to passkeys drastically reduces internal IT helpdesk tickets, manual password resets, and overhead costs.Right-Sizing Your Passkey Deployment: How to easily segment your workforce strategy:Standard Users: Synced passkeys via platform credential managers (Apple, Google, 1Password, Bitwarden).Privileged Users: Dedicated hardware keys (YubiKeys) for root admins and high-sensitivity infrastructure.The 1-Week Action Plan: How to leverage the identity infrastructure you already own (like Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID) to deploy passkeys today.Resources Mentioned:Learn more about modern identity standards: FIDO Alliance WebsiteReview baseline federal security recommendations: CISA Guidance on Phishing-Resistant MFADiscover SecurityMetrics compliance resources: SecurityMetrics Official SiteThreat Intelligence Data: Read the data behind credential exploitation in the latest Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR).

The following question refers to Section 7.1 of the 2025 ACS Guidelines. The question is asked by Thomas Jefferson medical student and CardioNerds Academy Intern Dr. Grace Qiu, answered first by University of Michigan fellow and CardioNerds FIT Ambassador Dr. Kayla Secrest, and then by expert faculty Dr. Sunil Rao. Dr. Rao is an interventional cardiologist, Professor of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Deputy Director of the Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology, and the Director of Interventional Cardiology for the NYU Langone Health System. He is the Editor-in-Chief for Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions and was the Chair of the Writing Committee for the 2025 ACS Guidelines. This episode is part of our comprehensive Decipher the Guidelines Series covering the 2025 ACC/AHA/ACEP/NAEMSP/SCAI Guideline for the Management of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes. Question #1 A 68-year-old man with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stage III chronic kidney disease, and prior tobacco use presents to a local emergency department with reports of chest pain while raking leaves at home. Upon arrival, he is hemodynamically stable with a heart rate of 86 beats per minute and a blood pressure of 133/85 mmHg. His EKG reveals ST elevations in the septal and anterior leads (V1-V4). He is given 324mg of aspirin and is promptly evaluated by the interventional cardiology team, who elects to take him emergently to the catheterization lab. Upon arrival to the catheterization lab, the nurse asks the interventional fellow which access sites they should prep for this case? How should the interventional fellow respond? A Right radial artery only B Radial + bilateral femoral C Bilateral femoral only Answer #1 Explanation The correct answer is B. Radial and bilateral femoral Radial artery access is the preferred vascular access site for coronary angiography and PCI in patients with ACS. Transradial access has been shown to reduce mortality, bleeding, and vascular complications compared with transfemoral access (Class I, LOE A). Radial access also allows earlier ambulation and is associated with greater patient comfort. Although the right radial artery is the most widely studied upper-extremity access site, alternative sites such as the ulnar and distal radial arteries have demonstrated similar outcomes. However, the radial artery may be required as a bypass conduit for CABG. In institutions where the radial artery is routinely used for surgical grafting, this potential future use should be considered when selecting vascular access. In addition, transfemoral access—preferably performed with ultrasound guidance—should be considered in patients in whom temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is anticipated or in those for whom radial access is not feasible due to anatomical or technical constraints. Prepping bilateral groins in addition to the radial artery provides a backup strategy for urgent MCS placement or for transition to femoral access should radial access fail. For these reasons, prepping both the radial artery and bilateral groins is the most appropriate response. Radial-only preparation is incorrect because, although radial access is preferred, patients with STEMI may still require emergent MCS or alternative access if the radial artery is unsuitable. Preparing only the wrist without backup femoral access may delay care should hemodynamic instability occur. Femoral-only preparation is incorrect because transradial access provides superior outcomes in ACS, including significant reductions in all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and vascular complications. RCTs and meta-analyses, including MATRIX (which showed lower MACE and net adverse clinical events with radial access) and SAFARI-STEMI (which showed no difference in mortality but was underpowered)—support radial as first-line access when feasible. Main Takeaway For patients with ACS undergoing PCI, radial access is strongly preferred to reduce mortality, bleeding, and vascular complications. Guideline Loc. Section 7.1

The mid-market is where tech decisions get dangerous. You are big enough that uptime, security, and delivery speed matter every day, but you are not big enough to burn cash on massive consulting retainers or absorb the fallout from a shaky vendor. That “valley in the middle” is exactly where David Robinson lives, and it is why he built Stratos Development Group to offer right-fit technical leadership, managed services, and software development that feels structured without being out of reach. We walk through David's journey from building early electronic medical record software in healthcare to leading engineering at a venture-backed startup, and then into entrepreneurship. From there, we get practical about what mid-market teams actually struggle with: competitors using the same licensed infrastructure, product roadmaps hijacked by one or two big customers, and the need to own real intellectual property and architecture to keep a competitive edge. For payments, fintech, and ISO leaders, the conversation goes deep on what Stratos is seeing right now: consolidation, tougher differentiation, and the technical friction that can make or break net-new deals. David shares how ISOs can approach technology enablement and custom integrations, plus the bigger opportunity of moving from ISO to ISV. If you already have a book of business, you also have a built-in feedback loop, faster validation, and a clearer path to launching software that your clients will actually pay for. We also tackle AI and the “vibe coding” era, including why agentic development can boost productivity but cannot shortcut PCI, SOC, or HIPAA compliance. If you want to modernize safely and win in a more competitive market, this one is for you.
We can't keep turning a blind eye to e-commerce skimming. It's a real threat that demands real attention—regardless of how compliance checklists evolve. Eighteen months ago, our panel met to break down the rollout of PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. Now, one year after PCI v4.0, we're looking at the data-backed reality of how these requirements are actually playing out in the field.With the recent industry transitions to PCI DSS v4.0.1, clarifications surrounding the boundaries between parent web pages and third-party iframes have created a dangerous side effect: "Checkbox Blindness." Many organizations are misinterpreting these adjustments to mean that script monitoring is effectively optional if a payment iframe is in place. But treating client-side security as a text-only compliance loophole ignores a harsh forensic reality—attackers don't care about scoping boundaries.In this follow-up episode, host Jen Stone sits down with a full house of SecurityMetrics experts—Gary Glover (VP of Assessment), Chad Horton (VP of Technology), and Aaron Willis (VP of Forensic Investigation)—to cut through the regulatory noise. Backed by data from over six years of payment page monitoring, they translate the latest auditor fine print into practical guidance on why your parent page remains a prime target, and how to protect it without drowning your team in alert fatigue.Key Takeaways From This Episode:The v4.0.1 Scoping Misconception: Why thinking an embedded iframe completely offloads your client-side security obligations is a critical business risk.Bypassing the Safe: How attackers manipulate the parent page environment to intercept credit card data before it ever reaches a secure iframe or redirect link.The Reality of "Checkbox Compliance": Why tracking down fourth- and fifth-party scripts matters to your baseline security, even if your SAQ criteria makes it look elective.Inside a "Zero-Malware" Exploit: A forensic breakdown of how threat actors turn legitimate, approved analytics scripts against online checkout flows.Managing the Responsibility Matrix: How to handle iframe providers who are quietly altering their security liability terms in their public documentation.Resources & Links Mentioned:Stop Checkbox Blindness: Automate your script inventory with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Monitor Get a Forensic MRI of Your Checkout: Schedule a deep-dive review with SecurityMetrics Shopping Cart Inspect Read the Research: Download the QSA White Paper on E-Commerce Skimmer Attacks Connect With Our Team:SecurityMetrics Website: securitymetrics.comFollow Us on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/securitymetricsA note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

The OCC's 376-page proposed rule under the GENIUS Act is converting stablecoin policy into binding compliance requirements with formal issuer categories. Paxos, BitGo, and Ripple all received OCC trust charter approvals, but a trust charter does not guarantee Fed payment rail access. Klarivis data shows deposit movement from stablecoin-adjacent products is already measurable at community banks. The 26-month application timeline puts anyone starting today against a potential administration change, and sponsor bank programs face new pressure from charter competition and yield-based products.Bank charter confusion, trust charter risks, and Fed Master Account access gaps are creating real problems for fintech operators, sponsor banks, and community bank executives right now. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, and co-host Steve Bishop sit down on Inside the Vault with three former and current regulatory insiders: Syed Raza, former Acting Chief Innovation Officer at the OCC and Managing Director at FTI Consulting; Michele Alt, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Klaros Group; and Ian Moloney, Chief Policy Officer at the American Fintech Council.Find out more1️⃣ Answer four questions before filing: who grants the charter, what powers it includes, what activities are limited, and who examines the institution.2️⃣ Start compliance documentation now; controls, funds flow maps, and exception handling should be ready before the examiner asks.3️⃣ Read the conditions attached to charter approvals; those conditions reveal what regulators did not trust in the application.4️⃣ Align cost sharing, control ownership, and data ownership with your partner before examination forces the conversation.5️⃣ Price the M&A path into your charter strategy; the 26-month timeline means the political window may close before your application clears.Guest LinksSyed RazaFTI ConsultingMichele AltKlaros GroupIan MoloneyAmerican Fintech CouncilSteve BishopFintech ConfidentialPodcast: 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/fintechconfidentialSupportersUnder: Streamline your application and underwriting process by digitizing PDFs for digital signature. under.io/ftcSkyflow: Zero-trust data privacy vault delivered as an API covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance. skyflowsecure.comHawk AI: Real-time payment screening, ML transaction monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to fight fraud and financial crime. gethawkai.comAbout the GuestsSyed Raza is a Managing Director at FTI Consulting with over 30 years in risk management and regulatory compliance.

„Putem adera la UE și alături de România. Acum lucrăm din greu ca Republica Moldova să devină parte a UE și sperăm că acest lucru va funcționa. Dacă nu, vom lua în calcul și alte opțiuni. Obiectivul este să menținem Moldova în siguranță și parte a lumii libere. Nu vom permite Rusiei să ne amenința politica internă și externă, inclusiv prin intermediul Transnistriei. Aderarea la UE este esențială pentru ca Republica Moldova să poată supraviețui ca democrație”, declară președinta Maia Sandu într-un interviu acordat RFI și DW, în Parlamentul European de la Strasbourg. Temele ediției: - Criză de imagine pentru primarul Chișinăului, Ion Ceban, cel interzis în UE de către România pentru legături cu Rusia: o fostă subalternă face publice acte de corupție și de politizare a Primăriei Chișinău. Primăria Chișinău respinge acuzațiile și le califică drept nefondate. Miza nu mai ține doar de un conflict personal, ci de impactul asupra imaginii politice a lui Ion Ceban. Liliana Barbăroșie aduce detalii. - Documente confidențiale arată felul în care Kremlinul coordonează campaniile de influență ale unor actori ruși în țări europene. Printre numele amintite în investigație se află și cel al fostului deputat PSD și șef al Comisiei SRI, Sebastian Ghiță, patron al postului RomâniaTV. Detalii, în Eurocronica, semnată de Ovidiu Nahoi. - Așadar, numelui omului de afaceri român Sebastian Ghiță apare în contextul unor campanii coordonate de influențare politică și dezinformare, desfășurate de Kremlin în țările europene. Valeriu Pașa, directorul comunității Watchdog Moldova, care a consultat documentele scurse, a explicat la RFI cum a apărut numele lui Sebastian Ghiță în planurile de dezinformare. Un interviu realizat de Mădălina Șerban. „Resping toate aceste afirmații false despre legăturile mele cu Putin și Kremlinul făcute de agenții sorosiști”, a scris Sebastian Ghiță pe rețelele de socializare. - Șeful așa-zisului minister pentru securitate de la Tiraspol iese la atac și acuză Ucraina că stă în spatele așa-numitor atacuri teroriste din regiunea separatistă de acum 3 ani. De asemenea, acuză și Republica Moldova. Ce acuzații aduce Tiraspolul Chișinăului? Aflați în „Cronica lui Vitalie”, semnată de Vitalie Cojocari. - Guvernul Republicii Moldova și Fondul Monetar Internațional (FMI) au ajuns la un acord privind un nou program de cooperare pentru următorii 3 ani. - Cancelarul german a propus acordarea unui statut de „membru asociat” al Uniunii Europene pentru Ucraina. În ceea ce privește alte state candidate, inclusiv Republica Moldova, Friedrich Merz propune „soluții inovatoare” pentru accelerarea integrării europene. - Două alerte false cu bombă au fost înregistrate în noaptea de 21 mai la Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău. Știrile zilei: Guvernul Republicii Moldova și Fondul Monetar Internațional (FMI) au ajuns la un acord privind un nou program de cooperare pentru următorii 3 ani. Anunțul a fost făcut de prim-ministrul Alexandru Munteanu la ședința Guvernului. „Republica Moldova și FMI sunt pe aceeași lungime de undă în ceea ce privește direcția economică a țării”, a declarat Munteanu. „Un semnal clar că partenerii internaționali consideră că Republica Moldova are o echipă profesionistă, se mișcă într-o direcție corectă, într-un ritm bun, chiar și atunci când circumstanțele externe rămân foarte complicate”, a menționat premierul moldovean. „Noul program PCI, care este un program fără finanțare, conceput pentru a susține politici economice solide, confirmă angajamentul continuu al autorităților față de asigurarea stabilității macroeconomice și financiare și a creșterii economice durabile”, a declarat șefa misiunii FMI, Alina Iancu, la finalul vizitei. FMI arată că economia Republicii Moldova și-a revenit în 2025, însă rămâne vulnerabilă la șocuri externe, în special în sectorul energetic. PIB-ul a crescut anul trecut cu 2,4%, susținut de cererea internă și de redresarea sectorului agricol, iar inflația medie a fost de 7,8%. Pentru acest an, arată FMI, inflația în Republica Moldova ar putea depăși 8%, iar ritmul de creștere al economiei va încetini până la 1,5%. Instituția precizează că perspectivele economice ale țării depind în mare măsură de durata și intensitatea războiului din Orientul Mijlociu și a conflictului din Ucraina. *** După ce a deblocat suportul financiar de 90 de miliarde pentru Ucraina, noul premier al Ungariei pune condiții pentru aderarea țării vecine la UE și îl invită pe Volodimir Zelenski la dialog. Vorbind la o conferință de presă comună, la Varșovia, cu omologul său polonez Donald Tusk, Peter Magyar a spus tranșant că protejarea drepturilor minorității maghiare din Transcarpatia este o condiție prealabilă pentru acceptarea negocierilor cu Ucraina, scrie TV8. „Au început negocierile tehnice privind drepturile lingvistice, culturale și de altă natură ale minorității maghiare care trăiește în Carpați, astfel încât acestea să primească ceea ce se cuvine tuturor minorităților din Uniunea Europeană. Și sper și am încredere că această serie de negocieri va avea loc rapid și eficient și ne vom putea întâlni cu președintele Zelenski cândva la începutul lunii iunie”, a subliniat noul prim-ministru al Ungariei, Peter Magyar. Republica Moldova urmărește cu atenție poziția Ungariei privind deblocarea negocierilor cu Kievul, pentru că în acest moment este tratată la pachet cu Ucraina, iar în iunie mizează pe deschiderea negocierilor politice de aderare la UE. *** Cancelarul german Friedrich Merz a propus acordarea unui statut de „membru asociat” al Uniunii Europene pentru Ucraina, ca alternativă temporară la aderarea deplină, considerată nerealistă pe termen scurt din cauza procedurilor complexe și a obstacolelor politice existente în interiorul blocului comunitar. Potrivit agenției dpa, inițiativa a fost inclusă într-o scrisoare adresată conducerii Uniunii Europene, transmite Moldpres. Potrivit propunerii, Ucraina ar putea participa la reuniunile Consiliului European și ale Consiliului UE, însă fără drept de vot. Totodată, Kievul ar putea avea reprezentanți asociați în cadrul Comisiei Europene, Parlamentului European și Curții de Justiție a UE, dar fără competențe decizionale. În ceea ce privește alte state candidate, inclusiv Republica Moldova, Albania și Muntenegru, Friedrich Merz propune „soluții inovatoare” pentru accelerarea integrării europene. Printre acestea se numără acces preferențial la piața unică europeană, implicare mai strânsă în activitatea instituțiilor UE și statut de observator în anumite structuri comunitare. *** Nu există motive pentru a amâna deschiderea negocierilor de aderare a Republicii Moldova la UE pe toate clusterele, iar Consiliul European din iunie ar trebui să adopte o decizie favorabilă pentru Chișinău în acest sens. Declarația a fost făcută pentru NewsMaker de vicepreședintele Parlamentului European, Victor Negrescu. Acesta a mai spus că Transnistria nu reprezintă un impediment pentru aderarea Moldovei la UE, invocând precedentul Ciprului, stat membru cu un conflict teritorial nerezolvat, care deține în prezent președinția Consiliului Uniunii Europene. *** Și europarlamentarul Dan Barna cere instituțiilor UE să-și onoreze promisiunile față de Chișinău, în condițiile în care cinci rânduri de alegeri, Moldova a rezistat interferențelor Rusiei. Dan Barna a declarat corespondentului NewsMaker că blocajul instituit de Budapesta în procesul de extindere ar putea fi depășit în săptămânile următoare. *** Două alerte false cu bombă au fost înregistrate în noaptea de 21 mai la Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău. Pasagerii și personalul au fost evacuați conform procedurilor de securitate. Potrivit unui comunicat emis de Poliția de Frontieră, în urma verificărilor efectuate de serviciile specializate, nu au fost descoperite obiecte suspecte sau explozive. Zeci de alerge false cu bombă au fost înregistrate la aeroportul Chișinău în ultimii ani. Experții în securitate spun că acestea sunt elemente ale războiului hibrid purtat de forțele pro-ruse în contextul războiului din Ucraina, dar și a evoluțiilor politice interne din Republica Moldova, ca tentativă de a crea tensiuni și a scădea încrederea în instituții. „Situația a fost gestionată operativ și în condiții de siguranță, cu respectarea normelor de securitate”, anunță în comunicat Aeroportul Chișinău, în contextul incidentelor de noaptea trecută.

Is your organization prepared for an autonomous AI bot? Roger Grimes joins Jen Stone to discuss the shifting landscape of cybersecurity. This episode moves past the hype to look at the hard data: AI scams are yielding 4.5x more value for attackers, and traditional MFA is no longer enough to stop them.In this episode, we translate complex "vulnerability fatigue" into a clear, two-step priority list. We strip away the jargon to show you exactly how autonomous bots are bypassing firewalls by targeting the human element. Key Takeaways:Focus on the "Big Two": Social engineering and unpatched software account for nearly 90% of business risk.Phishing Resistance: Why you should move toward YubiKeys or passkeys to avoid "man-in-the-middle" code interception.Patch Management: Why you should ignore "shiny" new vulnerabilities and follow the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.The Negotiator's Trap: What happens when a CEO claims they have backups, but the hackers have already deleted them.Featured Resources:CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: Use this to prioritize patching based on real-world attacker behavior. Phishing-Resistant MFA:YubiKey: A hardware security key requiring physical touch to prevent remote account takeovers. FIDO Passkeys: A cryptographically secure alternative to SMS codes. Password Management: Tools like 1Password or LastPass are essential for creating long, random, and unique credentials that AI can't easily crack. The 3-2-1 Backup Rule: Maintain three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy kept strictly offline.

Crypto regulation in Q1 2026 reshaped the stablecoin and digital asset markets with the OCC's 376-page Genius Act proposed rule, the SEC's five-category crypto asset classification, and new AML data from FATF and Chainalysis. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, breaks it all down with Robert Musiala, Partner at Baker Hostetler and co-lead of their Web3 practice.The OCC introduced the PPSI framework that every future stablecoin issuer must follow, while at least 15 crypto-native companies raced to file trust charter applications. The SEC named 18 tokens as digital commodities, replaced the "decentralization" test with a central party control standard, and Chairman Atkins previewed up to three safe harbor proposals under a tentative Regulation CA. On the enforcement side, 84% of illicit crypto transactions in 2025 involved stablecoins, the DOJ seized $61 million in USDT, and North Korea expanded state-sponsored theft into remote IT worker schemes targeting US businesses.Find out more1️⃣ Map your Genius Act transition now; the 18-month implementation window is closing fast and companies that filed trust charters in late 2025 are already positioned.2️⃣ Vet every outsourced IT vendor accepting stablecoin payments for shell company ties to state-sponsored actors.3️⃣ Audit your tokens against the SEC's five-bucket test before the safe harbor proposals drop.4️⃣ Stress test your AML program against stablecoin-specific risks like peer-to-peer transfers, multi-hop wallet chains, and shell IT vendor payments flagged by the DOJ and FATF in Q1.5️⃣ Model your Q3 budget with and without yield revenue in case the OCC's related third-party restrictions survive.LINKSGuestRobert MusialaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-musiala/Baker Hostetler: https://www.bakerlaw.com/people/robert-musialaBlockchain Monitor: https://www.blockchainmonitor.com/CompanyBaker HostetlerWebsite: https://www.bakerlaw.com/Web3 & Digital Assets Team: https://www.bakerlaw.com/practices/web3-digital-assetsLegal Resources: https://www.bakerlaw.com/insightsHostTedd Huff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddhuff/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialFintech ConfidentialYoutube: https://youtube.com/@fintechconfidentialPodcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNewsletter: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSDFNS: Wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC across 50+ blockchains - fintechconfidential.com/dfnsSkyflow: Zero trust data privacy vault for PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2 compliance - skyflowsecure.comHawk: AI tools for real-time payment screening and fraud prevention - gethawkai.comABOUTRobert Musiala is a Partner at Baker Hostetler where he co-leads the firm's Web3 practice.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Chris Sands, co-founder of Crown Card Services and Pro-Fi 20/20, to unpack the often-overlooked world of credit card processing fees in dentistry. Chris explains how merchant fees quietly chip away at profitability, EBITDA, and even practice valuation, while sharing why more dental offices are exploring compliant surcharge programs to recover 70–90% of card fees. They also dive into the difference between rates and fees, the importance of PCI compliance, state-by-state surcharge restrictions, and how PPO contracts may create additional challenges for practices trying to pass fees along to patients. Chris also breaks down why software integration can come with a massive hidden cost, how bridge solutions may help practices avoid inflated processing rates, and why startups and first-time buyers may have an advantage by implementing these systems from day one.

In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Christof Koch, Chief Scientist of the MindScope Program at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, former Professor at Caltech, and author of “Then I Am Myself the World”. Dr. Koch is a leading researcher in the science of consciousness and a key proponent of Integrated Information Theory. In this conversation, they explore: — Why consciousness may be fundamental, while physical matter exists only in relation to other things — How an experience on a beach in Brazil changed his understanding of reality — The discovery of “covert consciousness” in patients thought to be in vegetative states — How the perturbational complexity index (PCI) shows a clear boundary between conscious and unconscious states, and why this matters — How Integrated Information Theory approaches the question of free will You can learn more about Dr. Koch's work at https://christofkoch.com. --- Dr. Christof Koch is a Meritorious Investigator at the Allen Institute.

This episode of Practical Cybersecurity moves past the standard PCI checklist to focus on the operational realities, common misconceptions, and "stealth" requirements that define SAQ A in the PCI DSS v4.0.1 era. The Eligibility FoundationMost merchants skip the Eligibility Criteria, which is the actual foundation of the assessment.Total Data Outsourcing: To qualify, a merchant must not store, process, or transmit any electronic account data on their own systems or premises. Call Center Exception: Merchants can still qualify for SAQ A if you use a third-party call center to handle payments on your behalf.Paper Ghosts: While the standard includes criteria for paper records, our experts have virtually never seen a modern SAQ A merchant that actually handles card data on paper in 15 years of assessments.The Iframe ParadoxA significant "stealth" requirement exists for merchants using iframes to capture payments.Susceptibility by Design: Iframes are "by definition" susceptible to scripting attacks, where malicious code scrapes data directly from the customer's browser."Hidden" Controls: To prove you aren't susceptible, the Council essentially requires you to meet requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1—technical controls for script inventory and integrity that are not technically listed in the body of the SAQ A document.Tips for Completing Your SAQ A:The SNMP Trap: When hardening servers (Requirement 2.2.2), administrators frequently overlook SNMP community strings, which often serve as easily searchable default "passwords" for attackers.Break-Glass Strategy: Requirement 8 now accommodates emergency "break-glass" accounts. If your lead admin ("Lisa") wins the lottery and disappears, your organization needs a documented, management-approved protocol to get the new hire ("Bob") into the system securely.The Staff Turnover Gap: Quarterly ASV scans often fail because the one person responsible for them leaves the company, and the new hire is unaware the scans are even occurring. Redundancy—where management also receives scan results—is a critical operational fix.Compliance is Not Inherited: Just because AWS is compliant does not mean your implementation of it is.Responsibility Matrix: You must utilize your provider's Security Responsibility Matrix to identify exactly which controls are managed by the vendor, which are shared, and which are your sole responsibility.And More!Resources:Download the SAQ A: Official PCI SSC SAQ A 4.0.1 PDF List of PCI ASVs: Approved Scanning Vendors AWS Responsibility MatrixAzure Responsibility MatrixA note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

Open finance infrastructure, agentic banking, and cross-border payments converge as Prometeo connects 7,500+ financial institutions across Latin America and the US through a single API. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, sits down with Ximena Aleman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Prometeo, to unpack what it takes to standardize fragmented banking systems across 30 countries and bring that playbook to the American market.Tedd and Ximena cover why US banking infrastructure is more fragmented than most people realize, how Prometeo's account verification now covers 85% of US bank accounts, and what agentic banking looks like when AI agents operate real bank accounts with built-in compliance controls. The conversation also addresses the open banking pricing debate, CFPB 1033 as a US expansion accelerant, the Nacha preferred partner announcement, and why only 2 to 3% of VC funding reaches female-led startups.Find out more1️⃣ Disaggregate your payment stack layer by layer; calling it "mature" hides gaps that cost you money.2️⃣ Build infrastructure for corridors, not single countries, starting with the highest-volume trade routes your customers operate.3️⃣ Bring non-bankers onto your product team to challenge workflows that insiders have normalized for decades.4️⃣ Give smaller financial institutions a revenue stream tied to open banking adoption instead of pricing them out.5️⃣ Pitch the outcomes your infrastructure enables, not the technical specs of what you built.LINKSGuest:Ximena Aleman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ximena-aleman-7913439a/Company:Prometeo Website: https://prometeoapi.comPrometeo LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/prometeo-openbankingFintech 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/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSUnder.io: Streamlines application and underwriting by digitizing PDFs for e-signature. under.io/FTCSkyflow: A zero-trust data privacy vault delivered as an API covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and beyond. skyflowsecure.comDFNS: Wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC across 50+ blockchains. fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI: Real-time payment screening, AML transaction monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating. gethawk.comABOUTGuest: Ximena Aleman is Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Prometeo.

Vertical SaaS wins when it feels like it was built by someone who has actually done the job, and that same principle is reshaping payments and fintech. We sit down with Brad Pinneke, Head of Enterprise Business Development at Worldpay (is now Global Payments), to unpack why vertical SaaS platforms have become the day-to-day operating system for small businesses and why “embedded payments” is no longer a nice add-on. When the workflow lives inside the software, money flow becomes unavoidable, and the platform that handles both can deliver a cleaner experience and a stronger business model.We dig into what customers now expect from modern payment processing inside software: one login, one system of record, one support layer, and a single source of truth that connects checkout, settlement, reporting, and reconciliation. Brad explains how natively integrated payments can reduce back-office headaches, improve trust, and increase retention, plus what separates platforms that weave payments into the fabric of the product from those that simply tack it on.Then we get practical about the hard parts. Selling money is not the same as selling software, and the margin for error is smaller when uptime, compliance, PCI, funding, and fraud risk are on the line. We close with the next wave: AI in fintech and how AI plus payments data can turn a system of record into a system of action through predictive cash flow, risk modeling, automated pricing, and standout fraud detection.

Website compliance, ADA accessibility lawsuits, and privacy law enforcement are creating real financial exposure for small and mid-sized businesses. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, sits down with Michael Williams, co-founder and CFO of Clym, to unpack the growing wave of website regulation hitting SMBs and why most operators have no idea they are at risk.Watch episode hereOver 5,100 federal ADA lawsuits were filed in 2025, up 30% from the prior year, with 78% targeting small businesses. Twenty US states now have active privacy laws, GDPR fines hit $1.2 billion globally, and California's CCPA issued a record $1.35 million penalty. Michael breaks down how enforcement works based on consumer location rather than business headquarters, why third-party scripts and chatbots create hidden liability, and how compliant websites saw roughly 30% more search visibility over the past year. New HHS enforcement requires healthcare organizations to meet elevated accessibility standards, with fines up to $150,000 per incident starting within weeks.Find out more1️⃣ Audit every third-party script, tracking pixel, and embedded tool on your website to identify consent gaps before a plaintiff's attorney does.2️⃣ Map your customer traffic by state and match it against the 20 active US privacy laws to build compliance around your actual footprint.3️⃣ Run accessibility and privacy fixes through your marketing budget since compliant sites rank higher and capture customers competitors are losing.4️⃣ Profile your own business first, including headcount, revenue, locations, and data collected, before evaluating any compliance vendor.5️⃣ Require audit-ready, timestamped consent records from day one so you have receipts when a regulator or attorney comes knocking.GUEST LINKSMichael Williams LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-williams-clym/COMPANY LINKSClym Website: https://www.clym.io/Clym LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clymLearn More: https://fintechconfidential.com/climbFINTECH CONFIDENTIALPodcast: 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/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSUnder.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 that is API first, multi-chain by design, and secured with MPC: fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI offers real-time payment screening, AML transaction monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating: gethawk.comABOUT THE GUESTMichael Williams is the co-founder and CFO of Clym.

Episode Summary In this episode of Practical Cybersecurity, we dive into the complex world of HITRUST certification. Often called the "gold standard" for healthcare security, HITRUST can be a daunting mountain to climb for small and large organizations alike. Jen Stone and experts Peter Briel (Privaxi) and Lee Pierce (SecurityMetrics) break down why scoping is your best friend, why screenshots aren't enough, and why you should never try to "button things down" before talking to an expert.Key Discussion Points:What is HITRUST? Unlike HIPAA, which lacks a formal certification, HITRUST integrates multiple standards (NIST, ISO, etc.) into a "beefy" framework. It provides a definitive answer to security and compliance inquiries in the healthcare space.The Three Levels of HITRUST:E1: The entry-level, static 44-control assessment.I1: The "leading practices" assessment with roughly 180+ controls.R2: The risk-based, "gold standard" that requires heavy factoring and scoping.The "House Alarm" Analogy: You can't protect a house if you don't know how many windows and doors it has. Asset management is the foundation of security; if you don't know what hardware and software you have, you can't secure the perimeter.Common Pitfalls in Certification:Overscoping: Fear often leads companies to include too much in their audit, driving up costs and timelines unnecessarily.Weak Evidence: Assessors need a "story," not just a screenshot. Evidence must be consistent, repeatable, and include clear date/time stamps.The "Never Happened" Trap: Even if you haven't fired anyone or had a breach in years, you must have a documented, tested process for how you would handle those events.The Importance of Readiness: The "separation of duties" means your auditor can't also be your consultant. Engaging a readiness team early helps you build the foundation correctly the first time, rather than tearing down finished work to meet compliance standards later.Expert Tips for Success"Don't build it and then do readiness afterwards." — Lee Pierce Start the conversation while you are still building your solutions or migrating to the cloud to ensure encryption and segmentation meet the standard from day one."Don't rush... it's not a check-the-box exercise." — Peter Briel Focus on building a solid foundation. HITRUST isn't just about the certificate; it's about actually protecting the environment.Resources MentionedSecurity Metrics Website: Visit for a quick HITRUST cost assessment and to connect with the readiness and audit teams. https://www.securitymetrics.com/hitrustFactoring Tools: Resources to help determine whether you need an E1, I1, or R2 assessment.A note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.
