Blumira In the evolving world of cybersecurity, the shift from a purely threat-centric mindset to a focus on operational excellence is no longer just a trend—it's a necessity. Matthew Warner, CEO and co-founder of Blumira, argues that this shift is particularly crucial for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers (MSPs) that support them. Matthew believes that traditional SIEM and detection solutions have historically fallen short for these organizations, often due to their complexity, high cost, and steep learning curves. As a result, many SMBs have struggled to keep up with the sophistication of modern threats. Blumira was founded to change that. Matthew's vision is rooted in democratizing security—making powerful, automated detection and response tools simple, affordable, and accessible for everyone, especially those who need them most. By designing platforms that prioritize operational excellence—efficiency, usability, and actionable intelligence—Blumira enables organizations to be proactive rather than reactive. During the conversation, Matthew will share insights into the latest technologies and trends transforming the cybersecurity space, and offer actionable guidance for IT decision-makers. He'll explore how shifting strategy from chasing every alert to building a solid, efficient operational foundation can lead to better outcomes and stronger protection in the long run.

When it comes to data protection, the word “immutability” often feels like it belongs in the realm of enterprise giants with complex infrastructure and massive budgets. But during this RSAC Conference conversation, Sterling Wilson, Field CTO at Object First, makes a strong case that immutability should be, and can be, for everyone.Wilson brings a grounded perspective shaped by his experience on the floor at RSAC, where Object First made its debut as a sponsor. The energy, he notes, was contagious: not just among vendors, but also from practitioners expressing serious concerns about their ability to recover data post-incident. These conversations weren't hypothetical; they were real worries tied to rising insurance premiums, regulatory compliance, and operational survivability. And at the core of all this? Trust in the data backup process.Agentic AI, AI capable of making decisions independently, is one of the trends Wilson flags as both promising and risky. It offers potential for improving preparedness and accelerating recovery. But it also raises concerns around access and control of sensitive data, particularly if exploited by adversaries. For Sterling, the opportunity lies in combining proactive readiness with simplicity and control, especially for those who aren't traditional security practitioners.Object First is doing just that through OOTBI: Out of the Box Immutability. And yes, there's a mascot: OOTBI. More than just a marketing hook, OOTBI represents a shift toward making backup and recovery systems approachable, usable, and, importantly, accessible. According to Wilson, the product gets users from “box to backup” in 15 minutes... with encrypted, immutable storage that meets critical requirements for cyber insurance coverage.Cost, Wilson adds, is a key barrier that often prevents organizations from reaching data protection best practices. That's why Object First now offers consumption-based pricing models. Whether a business is cloud-first or scaling fast, it's a path to protection that doesn't require breaking the budget.Ultimately, Wilson emphasizes education and community as critical drivers of progress. From field labs where teams can configure their own Opi, to on-location conference conversations, the company is building awareness, and reducing fear, by making secure storage not just a feature, but a foundation.This episode is a reminder that effective cybersecurity isn't only about innovation; it's about inclusion, practicality, and trust... both in your tools and your team.Learn more about Object First: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlNote: This story contains promotional content.

Segment 1: Erik Bloch Interview The math on SOC AI just isn't adding up. It's not easy to do the math, either, as each SOC automation vendor is tackling alert fatigue and SecOps assistants a bit differently. Fortunately for us and our audience, Erik Bloch met with many of these vendors at RSAC and is going to share what he learned with us! Segment 2: Enterprise Weekly News In this week's enterprise security news, 1. Some interesting new companies getting funding 2. Chainguard isn't unique anymore 3. AI slop coming to open source soon 4. Wiz dominance analysis 5. the IKEA effect in cybersecurity 6. LLM model collapse 7. vulnerabilities 8. DFIR reports 9. and fun with LinkedIn and prompt injection! Segment 3: RSAC Interviews runZero Interview with HD Moore Despite becoming a checkbox feature in major product suites, vulnerability management is fundamentally broken. The few remaining first-wave vulnerability scanners long ago shifted their investments and attention into adjacent markets to maintain growth, bolting on fragmented functionality that's added complexity without effectively securing today's attack surfaces. Meanwhile, security teams are left contending with massive blind spots and disparate tools that collectively fail to detect exposures that are commonly exploited by attackers. Our industry is ready for change. Jeff and HD explore the current state of vulnerability management, what's required to truly prevent real-world incidents, new perspectives that are challenging the status quo, and innovative approaches that are finally overcoming decades old problems to usher in a new era of vulnerability management.

Imprivata interview with Joel Burleson-Davis Organizations in mission-critical industries are acutely aware of the growing cyber threats, like the Medusa ransomware gang attacking critical US sectors, but are wary that implementing stricter security protocols will slow productivity and create new barriers for employees. This is a valid concern, but organizations should not accept the trade-off between the inevitability of a breach by avoiding productivity-dampening security measures, or the drop in employee productivity and rise in frustration caused by implementing security measures that might mitigate a threat like Medusa. In this conversation, Joel will discuss how organizations can build a robust security strategy that does not impede productivity. He will highlight how Imprivata's partnership with SailPoint enables stronger enterprise identity security while enhancing efficiency—helping organizations strike the right balance.

In this special episode of Authenticated, Confide brings together a powerhouse panel of security operators, marketers, and founders to dissect the brutal realities of go-to-market in cybersecurity. From failed conference booth investments to relationship-first community building, this conversation goes deep on why most vendors still miss the mark, and what it actually takes to build trust with today's security buyers. Whether you're a CISO, product marketer, founder, or GTM leader in security, this episode cuts through the noise with raw, unfiltered truths about what works, what backfires, and where the future of security GTM is headed. Key Themes We Cover Why cybersecurity is one of the hardest GTM motions in tech—period The myth of the CISO as the sole buyer (and who actually influences decisions) How real community works—and why fake ones backfire Why founder curiosity and customer obsession are the biggest predictors of success The buyer psychology behind trust, timing, and transference What not to do at RSAC (and how to rethink your event strategy) The role of failure, redemption, and authentic messaging in building credibility Tactical ways to break through cynicism and engage skeptical security practitioners Subscribe & Follow: Follow Audience 1st wherever you get your podcasts Connect with Dani Woolf on LinkedIn Learn more about CyberSynapse and qualitative buyer research

In this post-RSAC 2025 Brand Story, Marco Ciappelli catches up with Steve Schlarman, Senior Director of Product Management at Archer, to discuss the evolving intersection of GRC, AI, and business value. From regulatory overload to AI-enhanced policy generation, this conversation explores how meaningful innovation—grounded in real customer needs—is shaping the future of risk and compliance.Not All AI Is Created Equal: The Archer ApproachRSAC 2025 was buzzing with innovation, but for Steve Schlarman and the Archer team, it wasn't about showing off shiny new toys—it was about proving that AI, when used with purpose and context, can truly enhance the risk and compliance function.Steve, Senior Director of Product Management at Archer, breaks down how Archer Evolve and the recent integration of Compliance.ai are helping organizations address regulatory change in a more holistic, automated, and scalable way. With silos still slowing down many companies, the need for tools that actually do something is more urgent than ever.From Policy Generation to Risk NarrativesOne of the most practical applications discussed? Using AI not just to detect risk, but to help write better risk statements, control documentation, and even policy language that actually communicates clearly. Steve explains how Archer is focused on closing the loop between data and business impact—translating technical risk outputs into narratives the business can actually act on.AI with a Human TouchAs Marco notes, AI in cybersecurity has moved from hype to hesitation to strategy. Steve is candid: some customers are still on the fence. But when AI is delivered in a contextual way, backed by customer-driven innovation, it becomes a bridge—not a wedge—between people and process. The key is not AI for the sake of AI, but for solving real, grounded problems.What's Next in Risk? Better ConversationsLooking ahead, Schlarman sees a shift from “no, we can't” to “yes, and here's how.” With a better grasp on loss exposure and control costs, the business conversation is changing. AI-powered storytelling and smart interfaces might just help risk teams have their most effective conversations yet.From regulatory change to real-time translation of risk data, this is where tech meets trust.⸻Guest: Steve Schlarman, Senior Director, Product Management, Archert | https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveschlarman/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Archer: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/archerLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:steve schlarman, marco ciappelli, rsac2025, archer evolve, compliance.ai, regulatory change, grc, risk management, ai storytelling, cybersecurity, compliance, brand story, rsa conference, cybersecurity strategy, risk communication, ai in compliance, automation, contextual ai, integrated risk management, business risk narrative, itspmagazine______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

At RSAC 2025, the most urgent signals weren't necessarily the loudest. As ISACA board member and cybersecurity veteran Rob Clyde joins Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli for a post-conference recap, it's clear that conversations about the future of the profession—and its people—mattered just as much as discussions on AI and cryptography.More Than a Job: Why Community MattersRob Clyde shares his long-standing involvement with ISACA and reflects on the powerful role that professional associations play in cybersecurity careers. It's not just about certifications—though Clyde notes that employers often value them more than degrees—it's also about community, mentorship, and mutual support. When asked how many people landed a job because of someone in their local ISACA chapter, half the room raised their hands. That kind of connection is difficult to overstate.Clyde urges cybersecurity professionals to look beyond their company roles and invest in something that gives back—whether through volunteering, speaking, or simply showing up. “It's your career,” he says. “Take back control.”Facing Burnout and Legal Risk Head-OnThe group also addresses a growing issue: burnout. ISACA's latest research shows 66% of cybersecurity professionals are feeling more burned out than last year. For CISOs in particular, that pressure is compounded by personal liability—as in the case of former SolarWinds CISO Tim Brown being sued by the SEC. Clyde warns that such actions have a chilling effect, discouraging internal risk discussions and openness.To counteract that, he emphasizes the need for continuous learning and peer support as a defense, not only against burnout, but also isolation and fear.The Silent Threat of QuantumWhile AI dominated RSAC's headlines, Clyde raises a quieter but equally pressing concern: quantum computing. ISACA chose to focus its latest poll on this topic, revealing a significant gap between awareness and action. Despite widespread recognition that a breakthrough could “break the internet,” only 5% of respondents are taking proactive steps. Clyde sees this as a wake-up call. “The algorithms exist. Q Day is coming. We just don't know when.”From mental health to quantum readiness, this conversation makes it clear: cybersecurity isn't just a technology issue—it's a people issue. Listen to the full episode to hear what else we're missing.Learn more about ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808⸻Guest: Rob Clyde, Board Director, Chair, Past Chair of the Board Directors at ISACA | https://www.linkedin.com/in/robclyde/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/isacaStay tuned for an upcoming ITSPmagazine Webinar with ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/webinarsISACA Quantum Pulse Poll 2025 and related resources: https://www.isaca.org/quantum-pulse-pollISACA State of Cybersecurity 2024 survey report: https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-cybersecurity-2024Learn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, marco ciappelli, rob clyde, rsac2025, burnout, quantum, cryptography, certification, isaca, cybersecurity, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

At RSAC Conference 2025, the conversation with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, centered on something deceptively simple: making cybersecurity effective by making it manageable.During this on-location recap episode, Rob shares how ThreatLocker cut through the noise of flashy booths and AI buzzwords by focusing on meaningful, face-to-face conversations with customers and prospects. Their booth was an open, no-frills space—designed for real dialogue, not distractions. What caught people's attention, though, wasn't the booth layout—it was a live demonstration of a PowerShell-based attack using a rubber ducky device. It visually captured how traditional tools often miss malicious scripts and how ThreatLocker's controls shut it down immediately. That kind of simplicity, Rob explains, is the real differentiator.Zero Trust Is a Journey—But It Doesn't Have to Be ComplicatedOne key message Rob emphasizes is that true security doesn't come from piling on more tools. Too many organizations rely on overlapping detection and response solutions, which leads to confusion and technical debt. “If you have five different jackets and they're all winter coats, you're not prepared for summer,” Sean Martin jokes, reinforcing Rob's point that layers should be distinct, not redundant.ThreatLocker's approach simplifies Zero Trust by focusing on proactive control—limiting what can execute or communicate in the first place. Rob also points to the importance of vendor consolidation—not just from a purchasing standpoint but from an operational one. With ThreatLocker, multiple security capabilities are built natively into a single platform with one agent and one portal, avoiding the chaos of disjointed systems.From Technical Wins to Human ConnectionsThe conversation wraps with a reminder that cybersecurity isn't just about tools—it's about the people and community that make the work worthwhile. Rob, Marco Ciappelli, and Sean Martin reflect on their shared experiences around the event and even the lessons learned over a slice of Detroit-style pizza. While the crust may have been debatable, the camaraderie and commitment to doing security better were not.Learn more about ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⸻Guest: Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer, ThreatLocker | https://www.linkedin.com/in/threatlockerrob/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ThreatLocker: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/threatlockerLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, marco ciappelli, rob allen, cybersecurity, zero trust, threat prevention, powerShell, vendor consolidation, rsac2025, endpoint security, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

In this RSAC special episode of Inside the Network, we sit down not with one, but two remarkable guests from the center of the cybersecurity world.First, we're joined by Andy Cao, COO of ProjectDiscovery, a company focused on open-source vulnerability management tools, which won the "Most Innovative Startup" award at the RSA Conference 2025 Innovation Sandbox. Andy shares how ProjectDiscovery is reimagining vulnerability management in an AI-driven world, what set their pitch apart in the Innovation Sandbox, and how their attacker-first mindset is reshaping how security teams discover and fix real-world exposures. With over 1 million users and thousands of Nuclei templates, ProjectDiscovery is aiming to make vulnerability detection radically faster, smarter, and more accessible.Then, we shift gears to talk with Dr. Hugh Thompson, Executive Chairman and Program Committee Chair of RSAC. A world-renowned security expert and longtime steward of the conference, Hugh takes us behind the curtain of what it takes to run the world's largest cybersecurity gathering, including the bold moves that shaped this year's Innovation Sandbox, the evolution of the RSAC brand, and the future of security thought leadership in the age of AI. And most intriguingly, Hugh gives us an exclusive answer to the question everyone's been asking - is RSAC 2026 moving to Las Vegas?To close, Mahendra, Sid, and Ross share their favorite moments from the show floor - the trends that caught their attention, the buzz from founders and investors, and yes, even a surprise guest spotted at the expo (spoiler: it's not a unicorn, but maybe the GOAT?).Whether you made it to RSAC this year or followed from afar, this episode brings you fresh insights from both the main stage and the show floor.
In the news, Coinbase deals with bribes and insider threat, the NCSC notes the cross-cutting problem of incentivizing secure design, we cover some research that notes the multitude of definitions for secure design, and discuss the new Cybersecurity Skills Framework from the OpenSSF and Linux Foundation. Then we share two more sponsored interviews from this year's RSAC Conference. With more types of identities, machines, and agents trying to access increasingly critical data and resources, across larger numbers of devices, organizations will be faced with managing this added complexity and identity sprawl. Now more than ever, organizations need to make sure security is not an afterthought, implementing comprehensive solutions for securing, managing, and governing both non-human and human identities across ecosystems at scale.

The Future Is a Place We Visit, But Never StayMay 9, 2025A Post-RSAC 2025 Reflection on the Kinda Funny and Pretty Weird Ways Society, Technology, and Cybersecurity Intersect, Interact, and Often Simply Ignore Each Other.By Marco Ciappelli | Musing on Society and TechnologyHere we are — once again, back from RSAC. Back from the future. Or at least the version of the future that fits inside a conference badge, a branded tote bag, and a hotel bill that makes you wonder if your wallet just got hacked.San Francisco is still buzzing with innovation — or at least that's what the hundreds of self-driving cars swarming the city would have you believe. It's hard to feel like you're floating into a Jetsons-style future when your shuttle ride is bouncing through potholes that feel more 1984 than 2049.I have to admit, there's something oddly poetic about hosting a massive cybersecurity event in a city where most attendees would probably rather not be — and yet, here we are. Not for the scenery. Not for the affordability. But because, somehow, for a few intense days, this becomes the place where the future lives.And yes, it sometimes looks like a carnival. There are goats. There are puppies. There are LED-lit booths that could double as rave stages. Is this how cybersecurity sells the feeling of safety now? Warm fuzzies and swag you'll never use? I'm not sure.But again: here we are.There's a certain beauty in it. Even the ridiculous bits. Especially the ridiculous bits.Personally, I'm grateful for my press badge — it's not just a backstage pass; it's a magical talisman that wards off the pitch-slingers. The power of not having a budget is strong with this one.But let's set aside the Frankensteins in the expo hall for a moment.Because underneath the spectacle — behind the snacks, the popcorns, the scanners and the sales demos — there is something deeply valuable happening. Something that matters to me. Something that has kept me coming back, year after year, not for the products but for the people. Not for the tech, but for the stories.What RSAC Conference gives us — what all good conferences give us — is a window. A quick glimpse through the curtain at what might be.And sometimes, if you're lucky and paying attention, that glimpse stays with you long after the lights go down.We have quantum startups talking about cryptographic agility while schools are still banning phones. We have generative AI writing software — code that writes code — while lawmakers print bills that read like they were faxed in from 1992. We have cybersecurity vendors pitching zero trust to rooms full of people still clinging to the fantasy of perimeter defense — not just in networks, but in their thinking.We're trying to build the future on top of a mindset that refuses to update.That's the real threat. Not AI and quantum. Not ransomware. Not the next zero-day.It's the human operating system. It hasn't been patched in a while.And so I ask myself — what are these conferences for, really?Because yes, of course, they matter.Of course I believe in them — otherwise I wouldn't be there, recording stories, chasing conversations, sharing a couch and a mic with whoever is bold enough to speak not just about how we fix things, but why we should care at all.But I'm also starting to believe that unless we do something more — unless we act on what we learn, build on what we imagine, challenge what we assume — these gatherings will become time capsules. Beautiful, well-produced, highly caffeinated, blinking, noisy time capsules.We don't need more predictions. We need more decisions.One of the most compelling conversations I had wasn't about tech at all. It was about behavior. Human behavior.Dr. Jason Nurse reminded us that most people are not just confused by cybersecurity — they're afraid of it.They're tired.They're overwhelmed.And in their confusion, they become unpredictable. Vulnerable.Not because they don't care — but because we haven't built a system that makes it easy to care.That's a design flaw.Elsewhere, I heard the term “AI security debt.” That one stayed with me.Because it's not just technical debt anymore. It's existential.We are creating systems that evolve faster than our ability to understand them — and we're doing it with the same blind trust we used to install browser toolbars in the ‘90s.“Sure, it seems useful. Click accept.”We've never needed collective wisdom more than we do right now.And yet, most of what we build is designed for speed, not wisdom.So what do we do?We pause. We reflect. We resist the urge to just “move on” to the next conference, the next buzzword, the next promised fix.Because the real value of RSAC isn't in the badge or the swag or the keynotes.It's in the aftershock.It's in what we carry forward, what we refuse to forget, what we dare to question even when the conference is over, the blinking booths vanish, the future packs up early, and the lanyards go into the drawer of forgotten epiphanies — right next to the stress balls, the branded socks and the beautiful prize that you didn't win.We'll be in Barcelona soon. Then London. Then Vegas.We'll gather again. We'll talk again. But maybe — just maybe — we can start to shift the story.From visiting the future… To staying a while.Let's build something we don't want to walk away from. And now, ladies and gentlemen… the show is over.The lights dim, the music fades, and the future exits stage left...Until we meet again.—Marco ResourcesRead first newsletter about RSAC 2025 I wrote last week " Securing Our Future Without Leaving Half Our Minds in the Past" https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/securing-our-future-without-leaving-half-minds-past-marco-ciappelli-cry1c/
When artificial intelligence can generate code, write tests, and even simulate threat models, how do we still ensure security? That's the question John Sapp Jr. and Alex Kreilein examine in this energizing conversation about trust, risk management, and the future of application security.The conversation opens with a critical concern: not just how to adopt AI securely, but how to use it responsibly. Alex underscores the importance of asking a simple question often overlooked—why do you trust this output? That mindset, he argues, is fundamental to building responsible systems, especially when models are generating code or influencing decisions at scale.Their conversation surfaces an emerging gap between automation and assurance. AI tools promise speed and performance, but that speed introduces risk if teams are too quick to assume accuracy or ignore validation. John and Alex discuss this trust gap and how the zero trust mindset—so common in network security—must now apply to AI models and agents, too.They share a key concern: technical debt is back, this time in the form of “AI security debt”—risk accumulating faster than most teams can keep up with. But it's not all gloom. They highlight real opportunities for security and development teams to reprioritize: moving away from chasing every CVE and toward higher-value work like architecture reviews and resiliency planning.The conversation then shifts to the foundation of true resilience. For Alex, resilience isn't about perfection—it's about recovery and response. He pushes for embedding threat modeling into unit testing, not just as an afterthought but as part of modern development. John emphasizes traceability and governance across the organization: ensuring the top understands what's at stake at the bottom, and vice versa.One message is clear: context matters. CVSS scores, AI outputs, scanner alerts—all of it must be interpreted through the lens of business impact. That's the art of security today.Ready to challenge your assumptions about secure AI and modern AppSec? This episode will make you question what you trust—and how you build.___________Guests: Alex Kreilein, Vice President of Product Security, Qualys | https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexkreilein/John Sapp Jr., Vice President, Information Security & CISO, Texas Mutual Insurance Company | https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbsappjr/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesJP Morgan Chase Open Letter: An open letter to third-party suppliers: https://www.jpmorgan.com/technology/technology-blog/open-letter-to-our-suppliersLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

In this episode of On Location at RSAC Conference 2025, Phillip Miller—Chief Information Security Officer and founder of Corporal—offers a candid and practical look at the current realities of cybersecurity leadership, innovation ecosystems, and the business-first mindset required to drive effective security outcomes.With a unique background that blends enterprise cybersecurity leadership and hands-on work on his Virginia farm, Miller brings a grounded perspective to the CISO role. Over the past 18 months, he stepped away from a traditional enterprise seat to work directly with startups through his company, advising them on how to align their offerings with the real needs of security teams. His return to a full-time CISO position follows that immersive experience, giving him a renewed sense of what enterprise security leaders are missing when they close themselves off from emerging technology vendors.Shifting the Buying ConversationOne of Miller's strongest messages is that buying decisions should start with the security team—not just the CISO. Too often, tools are purchased at the top and handed down without enough input from those who will actually use them. Miller stresses that founders who are selling into the enterprise need to solve real problems with real people—and CISOs should invite that dialogue rather than block it.He also encourages CISOs to think beyond the big names. While legacy providers are often the default, marketplace ecosystems (like AWS or GCP) and accelerator programs (such as those run by CrowdStrike) offer curated, credible entry points to newer solutions. These platforms can streamline the validation process while introducing fresh capabilities that legacy tools may lack.Lead With the Business, Not the TechFor Miller, the CISO's most valuable contribution is helping business leaders understand their own risks—especially the ones they don't associate with cybersecurity. By starting with “What are your biggest non-cyber risks?” Miller helps organizations connect the dots between core operations and digital exposure.Whether working in manufacturing, retail, or financial services, his approach remains consistent: understand how the business creates value, then align security programs and tooling accordingly. The tech, he reminds us, comes second.Catch the full conversation to hear more on third-party risk, building high-functioning teams, and why peer conversations at conferences like RSAC are essential to the health of the cybersecurity community.___________Guest: Phillip Miller, CISO and founder of Qurple | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pemiller/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Organizations are demanding more from their IT management platforms—not just toolsets, but tailored systems that meet specific business and security objectives. Vivin Sathyan, Senior Technology Evangelist at ManageEngine, shares how the company is responding with an integrated approach that connects IT, security, and business outcomes.ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation, now offers a suite of over 60 products that span identity and access management, SIEM, endpoint protection, service management, and analytics. These components don't just coexist—they interact contextually. Vivin outlines a real-world example from the healthcare sector, where a SIM tool detects abnormal login behavior, triggers an identity system to challenge access, and then logs the incident for IT service resolution. This integrated chain reflects a philosophy where response is not just fast, but connected and accountable.At the heart of the platform's effectiveness is contextual intelligence—layered between artificial intelligence and business insights—to power decision-making that aligns with enterprise risk and compliance needs. Whether it's SOC analysts triaging events, CIS admins handling system hygiene, or CISOs aligning actions with corporate goals, the tools are tailored to fit roles, not just generic functions. According to Vivin, this role-based approach is critical to eliminating silos and ensuring teams speak the same operational and risk language.AI continues to play a role in enhancing that coordination, but ManageEngine is cautious not to follow hype for its own sake. The company has invested in its own AI and ML capabilities since 2012, and recently launched an agent studio—but only after evaluating how new models can meaningfully add value. Vivin points out that enterprise use cases often benefit more from small, purpose-built language models than from massive general-purpose ones.Perhaps most compelling is ManageEngine's global-first strategy. With operations in nearly 190 countries and 18+ of its own data centers, the company prioritizes proximity to customers—not just for technical support, but for cultural understanding and local compliance. That closeness informs both product design and customer trust, especially as regulations around data sovereignty intensify.This episode challenges listeners to consider whether their tools are merely present—or actually connected. Are you enabling collaboration through context, or just stitching systems together and calling it a platform?Learn more about ManageEngine: https://itspm.ag/manageen-631623Note: This story contains promotional content.

In this episode, Subo Guha, Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, shares how the company is reshaping cybersecurity operations for managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers. Stellar Cyber's mission is to simplify security without compromising depth—making advanced cybersecurity capabilities accessible to organizations without enterprise-level resources.Subo walks through the foundations of their open XDR platform, which allows customers to retain the endpoint and network tools they already use—such as CrowdStrike or SentinelOne—without being locked into a single ecosystem. This flexibility proves especially valuable to MSSPs managing dozens or hundreds of customers with diverse toolsets, including those that have grown through acquisitions. The platform's modular sensor technology supports IT, OT, and hybrid environments, offering deep packet inspection, network detection, and even user behavior analytics to flag potential lateral movement or anomalous activity.One of the most compelling updates from the conversation is the introduction of their autonomous SOC capability. Subo emphasizes this is not about replacing humans but amplifying their efforts. The platform groups alerts into actionable cases, reducing noise and allowing analysts to respond faster. Built-in machine learning and threat intelligence feeds enrich data as it enters the system, helping determine if something is benign or a real threat.The episode also highlights new program launches like Infinity, which enhances business development and peer collaboration for MSSP partners, and their Cybersecurity Alliance, which deepens integration across a wide variety of security tools. These efforts reflect Stellar Cyber's strong commitment to ecosystem support and customer-centric growth.Subo closes by reinforcing the importance of scalability and affordability. Stellar Cyber offers a single platform with unified licensing to help MSSPs grow without adding complexity or cost. It's a clear statement: powerful security doesn't need to be out of reach for smaller teams or companies.This episode offers a practical view into what it takes to operationalize cybersecurity across diverse environments—and why automation with human collaboration is the path forward.Learn more about Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-cyber--inc--357947Note: This story contains promotional content.

Fred Wilmot, CEO and co-founder of Detecteam, and Sebastien Tricaud, CTO and co-founder, bring a candid and critical take on cybersecurity's detection and response problem. Drawing on their collective experience—from roles at Splunk, Devo, and time spent in defense and offensive operations—they raise a core question: does any of the content, detections, or tooling security teams deploy actually work?The Detecteam founders challenge the industry's obsession with metrics like mean time to detect or respond, pointing out that these often measure operational efficiency—not true risk readiness. Instead, they propose a shift in thinking: stop optimizing broken processes and start creating better ones.At the heart of their work is a new approach to detection engineering—one that continuously generates and validates detections based on actual behavior, environmental context, and adversary tactics. It's about moving away from one-size-fits-all IOCs toward purpose-built, context-aware detections that evolve as threats do.Sebastien highlights the absurdity of relying on static, signature-based detection in a world of dynamic threats. Adversaries constantly change tactics, yet detection rules often sit unchanged for months. The platform they've built breaks detection down into a testable, iterative process—closing the gap between intel, engineering, and operations. Teams no longer need to rely on hope or external content packs—they can build, test, and validate detections in minutes.Fred explains the benefit in terms any CISO can understand: this isn't just detection—it's readiness. If a team can build a working detection in under 15 minutes, they beat the average breakout time of many attackers. That's a tangible advantage, especially when operating with limited personnel.This conversation isn't about a silver bullet or more noise—it's about clarity. What's working? What's not? And how do you know? For organizations seeking real impact in their security operations—not just activity—this episode explores a path forward that's faster, smarter, and grounded in reality.Learn more about Detecteam: https://itspm.ag/detecteam-21686Note: This story contains promotional content.

Kubernetes revolutionized the way software is built, deployed, and managed, offering engineers unprecedented agility and portability. But as Edera co-founder and CEO Emily Long shares, the speed and flexibility of containerization came with overlooked tradeoffs—especially in security. What started as a developer-driven movement to accelerate software delivery has now left security and infrastructure teams scrambling to contain risks that were never part of Kubernetes' original design.Emily outlines a critical flaw: Kubernetes wasn't built for multi-tenancy. As a result, shared kernels across workloads—whether across customers or internal environments—introduce lateral movement risks. In her words, “A container isn't real—it's just a set of processes.” And when containers share a kernel, a single exploit can become a system-wide threat.Edera addresses this gap by rethinking how containers are run—not rebuilt. Drawing from hypervisor tech like Xen and modernizing it with memory-safe Rust, Edera creates isolated “zones” for containers that enforce true separation without the overhead and complexity of traditional virtual machines. This isolation doesn't disrupt developer workflows, integrates easily at the infrastructure layer, and doesn't require retraining or restructuring CI/CD pipelines. It's secure by design, without compromising performance or portability.The impact is significant. Infrastructure teams gain the ability to enforce security policies without sacrificing cost efficiency. Developers keep their flow. And security professionals get something rare in today's ecosystem: true prevention. Instead of chasing billions of alerts and layering multiple observability tools in hopes of finding the needle in the haystack, teams using Edera can reduce the noise and gain context that actually matters.Emily also touches on the future—including the role of AI and “vibe coding,” and why true infrastructure-level security is essential as code generation becomes more automated and complex. With GPU security on their radar and a hardware-agnostic architecture, Edera is preparing not just for today's container sprawl, but tomorrow's AI-powered compute environments.This is more than a product pitch—it's a reframing of how we define and implement security at the container level. The full conversation reveals what's possible when performance, portability, and protection are no longer at odds.Learn more about Edera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868Note: This story contains promotional content.

SRUM-DUMP Version 3: Uncovering Malware Activity in Forensics Mark Baggett released SRUM-DUMP Version 3. The tool simplifies data extraction from Widnows System Resource Usage Monitor (SRUM). This database logs how much resources software used for 30 days, and is invaluable to find out what software was executed when and if it sent or received network data. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/SRUM-DUMP%20Version%203%3A%20Uncovering%20Malware%20Activity%20in%20Forensics/31896 Novel Universal Bypass For All Major LLMS Hidden Layer discovered a new prompt injection technique that bypasses security constraints in large language models. The technique uses an XML formatted prequel for a prompt, which appears to the LLM as a policy file. This Policy Puppetry can be used to rewrite some of the security policies configured for LLMs. Unlike other techniques, this technique works across multiple LLMs without changing the policy. https://hiddenlayer.com/innovation-hub/novel-universal-bypass-for-all-major-llms/ CHOICEJACKING: Compromising Mobile Devices through Malicious Chargers like a Decade ago The old Juice Jacking is back, at least if you do not run the latest version of Android or iOS.
