Mariano founded Onapsis back in 2009 to address the challenges securing a growing new class of technology: ERP systems. After working at CYBSEC for 5 years doing offensive security research, he discovered just how vulnerable SAP applications could be. Onapsis is sneakily a juggernaut, having raised a $55 million Series D in 2020. And while they started focused on SAP, they have since expanded into related tools such as Oracle. They have certainly established themselves as core to securing an often overlooked component of IT infrastructure. In the conversation we discuss the founding story, why SAP couldn't do this themselves, and how he has thought about growth opportunities over the last 16 years.Website
Interview with Harish Peri from Okta Oktane Preview: building frameworks to secure our Agentic AI future Like it or not, Agentic AI and protocols like MCP and A2A are getting pushed as the glue to take business process automation to the next level. Giving agents the power and access they need to accomplish these lofty goals is going to be challenging, from a security perspective. How do put AI agents in the position to perform broad tasks autonomously without granting them all the privileges? How do we avoid making AI agents a gold mine for attackers - the first place they stop once they hack into our companies? These are some examples of the questions Okta aims to answer at this year's Oktane event, and we aim to kick off the conversations a little early - with this interview!

This deeply researched book offers new perspective on the NATO-Russia relationship through the eyes of Strobe Talbott, a deputy secretary of state for seven years under President Bill Clinton and the key US diplomatic broker for the former USSR. Stephan Kieninger traces the Clinton administration's efforts to engage Russia and enlarge NATO at the same time, as elements of a new European security architecture. Drawing on Talbott's diaries, as well as US and European archives and extensive interviews with former government officials, he sheds light on NATO's opening, its missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, and other vexed issues. Kieninger argues that a careful look at Talbott's statecraft rebuts Putin's claims that the West exploited Russia's weakness after the Cold War, demonstrating that the Clinton administration and its NATO allies sought to include Russia at every step. An illuminating and comprehensive account of US diplomacy during the Clinton years, Securing Peace in Europe provides vital insight into the complex relations between Russia and the West.

The chances of the government securing a lower US tariff rate for exports are looking slim to none. US President Donald Trump revised tariff rates in August, lifting New Zealand's from 10% to 15%. Minister Todd McClay was in Washington DC this week, arguing it unfairly penalises local exporters for what is a small trade deficit. But his efforts appear to have disappeared. Political reporter Anneke Smith spoke to Lisa Owen.

Want a quick estimate of how much your business is worth? With our free valuation calculator, answer a few questions about your business, and you'll get an immediate estimate of the value of your business. You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit -- In this episode of The Exit, Alan Franks, founder of the Business Planning Institute, reveals how business owners can maximize value and achieve financial independence before selling. He stresses that most owners don't know their company's worth, let alone track it, and warns against relying solely on business income, which can trap you in a “lifestyle business.” Franks advises selling in the maturity stage, before growth stalls and expenses rise. His approach to boosting value is “good business planning with a deadline”: create documented systems, KPIs, and a management team that allows the business to thrive without you. He emphasizes transferability by developing an internal successor, which protects value in emergencies and attracts buyers. From a tax perspective, he highlights strategies like opportunity zones, deferred sales trusts, and 1031 exchanges to reduce capital gains and income taxes, particularly for owners with real estate assets. Franks' final takeaway: treat success as a team sport. Build and maintain an A-level roster of advisors, align them with your goals, and continually reassess to keep your business and exit plan on track. -- Alan Franks, CFP®, CLU®, CFBS®, is the founder of the Business Planning Institute and author of Empowered Money, dedicated to helping individuals and business owners create financial plans that fuel their fullest lives. Alan has built a career in financial planning, where he combines investments, risk management, and strategic business planning to serve clients nationwide, including business owners, tech professionals, professional service providers, and striving retirees.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit their earlier discussion on defining ‘done' in Agile – how to stay on Track and Avoid Scope Creep. They explain why “done” must mean more than “I finished coding,” and they show how a shared Definition of Done (DoD) keeps teams aligned and projects on schedule. What Does “Done” Really Mean? In Agile, “Done” extends beyond writing code. It often includes: Passing unit and integration tests Receiving QA approval Deploying to staging or production Updating documentation Securing acceptance sign-off Without a clear, documented DoD, each team member may interpret “done” differently. As a result, projects risk rework, delays, and frustration. “If we ask, ‘Is it done?' we should get a clear yes or no—no ‘sort of' or ‘almost.'” – Rob Broadhead Why Ambiguity Leads to Trouble Michael points out a common problem: a developer finishes their code, marks the ticket as done, and passes it to QA—only for testers to find gaps in the requirements. A login screen ticket might say “Allow users to log in with username and password.” But does that mean: Username is case-insensitive? Special characters are allowed? Do error messages display on failure? If these details aren't defined, both the developer and tester may interpret “done” differently, leading to frustration on all sides. The Link Between “Done” and Scope Creep Rob and Michael agree: unclear definitions open the door to scope creep. Without a firm DoD, features get stuck in an endless loop of revisions: Developers feel QA keeps moving the goalposts. QA feels developers aren't meeting the requirements. Clients think the delivered feature isn't what they expected. Over time, this erodes trust and pushes delivery dates further into the future. Lessons from the Field Michael contrasts two scenarios from his career that highlight the power of a strong Definition of Done. Before an acquisition, his team worked with a crystal-clear DoD. Every ticket had precise requirements, clear acceptance criteria, and well-defined testing steps. As a result, tasks finished on time, testing followed a predictable pattern, and rework was rare. The team knew exactly when work met the agreed standards, and stakeholders trusted that “done” truly meant done. After the acquisition, the situation changed dramatically. Tickets became vague and massive in scope, often resembling open-ended “make it work” directives. Multiple teams modified the same code simultaneously, resulting in merge conflicts, inconsistent results, and unpredictable delivery schedules. Without a clear DoD, developers, testers, and stakeholders all had different ideas of what completion looked like, and work frequently circled back for revisions. The difference between the two environments came down to one factor: a clear and enforceable Definition of done. In the first scenario, it acted as a shared contract for quality and completion. In the second, the lack of it created confusion, wasted effort, and missed deadlines. Building a Strong Definition of Done The hosts outline key components every DoD should include: Code complete and reviewed – Ensures quality and shared understanding. Automated tests passing – Reduces regressions. Documentation updated – Prevents future confusion. Deployment verified – Proves it works in the target environment. Acceptance criteria signed off – Confirms alignment with the original requirements. Pro Tip: Keep your tests fresh—don't just update them to pass without meeting the real requirement. Who Owns the DoD? One person doesn't own the DoD—it's a team responsibility. Product owners, Scrum Masters, and developers should collaborate to create and update it, reviewing it regularly to adapt to evolving project needs. Making “Done” Part of the Process Once defined, your DoD should be visible and integrated into your workflow: Add it to user stories during sprint planning. Track it in tools like Jira, Trello, or GitHub. Use workflow stages that match your DoD steps—coding, testing, review, deployment, and sign-off. Michael emphasizes that personal accountability matters just as much as team accountability. Great developers hold themselves to the DoD without needing reminders. Your Challenge: Define “Done” This Week If your team doesn't have a documented Definition of Done—or if it's been more than three months since you reviewed it—set aside time this week to: Write down your current DoD. Identify where ambiguity still exists. Get agreement from the entire team. Update your workflow so that every ticket must meet the DoD before it is closed. This single step can prevent months of wasted effort and ensure your work delivers exactly what's intended. The Bigger Picture A well-defined DoD is more than a checklist—it's your guardrail against wasted effort and shifting goals. It ensures the final product matches what the client truly needs, not just what was coded. Your Definition of Done is your “why” for each task—it keeps your work focused, aligned, and valuable.

Episode 4699: Mainstream Agrees With Trump Securing DC; Abbott's Weakness In Texas
1. Introduction and Context * Purpose of the Podcast/Discussion * Association with "Superhuman Selling" and Elyse Archer * Speaker's (Brandon Handley's) role: Running a men's mastermind * Current theme: "Grounding the Leap" 2. Understanding the "Leap" and its Challenges * Definition of the "leap": A breakthrough, a new baseline, a significant shift. * The problem: Leaps can fade into memory without grounding. * The goal: Locking in the leap, stabilizing the "new you" to become the new baseline. * Breakthroughs are exciting but initially unstable. * The nervous system, mind, and body need time to adapt to the new state. 3. The "Being" vs. "Doing" Paradigm for Grounding * Common misconception: Securing a leap through more efforting, habits, and hustling. * The speaker's past experience: Stuck in the "doing more" mindset. * The key principle: 95-98% of locking a leap is "being," only 2-5% is "doing." * The importance of understanding what it means to "live in this new state." 4. The Union of Heart and Mind (Kokoro) * An ancient principle from other cultures. * Concept introduced: Union of heart and mind. * Historical influences: Alan Watts and the concept of "mushin." * The Japanese term: "Kokoro" (written with the character for heart). * Definition of Kokoro: The union of heart and mind, working as one, not in competition. * Western civilization's separation of heart and mind: * The head as the CEO. * The heart ignored or relegated to a passive role. * Consequences: Leaps don't stick, trying to live breakthroughs in the mind while ignoring the body and emotions. 5. Scientific Basis for Heart-Mind Connection * The heart's intelligence: Not just a blood pump. * Heart's neural network: Approximately 40,000 neurons. * Information flow: Heart sends more information to the brain than vice-versa. * Pre-cognitive reactions: The heart reacts milliseconds before conscious thought. * Research backing: Harvard, University of California, and others. * Implication: The body "feels" the terrain before the brain maps it. * Ignoring the heart/intuition leads to reverting to the old baseline. * Tuning into the heart and mind together makes the new terrain familiar. 6. Alignment and States of Being * The principle of "alignment first, action second." * Transition from "contraction" to "expansion." * Defining "contraction": * Physical sensations: Chest caving in, shallow breath, racing mind, heaviness. * Psychological association: The old baseline, fear of the unknown. * Defining "expansion": * Physical sensations: Open chest, deep diaphragm breathing, relaxed shoulders, clear mind. * Psychological association: The new terrain, confidence in the new identity. * Leading with expansion allows "doing" to flow naturally. 7. Practical Exercise: Locking in the Leap * Purpose: To ground the leap in the present moment. * Step 1: Identify Contraction. * Think of things put off since the leap. * Feel bodily sensations of tightening (contraction). * Recognize this as the "old you" trying to keep you "safe." * Step 2: Imagine Expansion. * Visualize the desired outcome of the task being done. * Notice bodily sensations of opening and softening (expansion). * Recognize this as the leap being grounded. * Step 3: Future Action Protocol. * Do not act from contraction. * Pause, find expansion. * Then, move forward. 8. Reinforcing and Stabilizing the Leap * Keeping the leap "unshakable." * Training the mind to spot evidence of the leap. * Recognizing new responses vs. reactions. * "Proving the leap in real time" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Looking for proof while living it, not waiting for external validation. * Past leaps may have been unrecognized. * Opportunities appearing in unexpected ways ("ways that you know not of," referencing biblical phrasing). * "Trusting the unknown" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Recording and acknowledging this evidence in real time. 9. Anchoring the New Frequency (Heart-Mind Lock-In) * A guided breathing exercise. * Technique: Slow, easy breaths through the nose, belly expansion, shoulder softening. * Focus: Calling up the feeling of already living the leap and expansion. * Anchoring the feeling through bodily checks (shoulders, neck). * Establishing the new "home frequency" as living from expansion. 10. Making Choices for Stability * Every choice either stabilizes the leap or slides back to the baseline. * Key check-ins: * Feeling state: Contraction or expansion? * Heart and mind connection: Working together or split? * The power of choice: Choosing expansion, choosing Kokoro, choosing to live in the new state. 11. Invitation to Further Support and Community * Offering help with grounding leaps, experiencing leaps, and identifying leaps. * Mention of the "Superhuman Selling" mastermind. * Format: Bi-weekly, within groups and communities. * Benefits: Support from others and the opportunity to support them. * Concept: "A whole rising tide lifts all ships." * Call to action: Reach out and check it out. * Ultimate goal: Making leaps "sticky" and establishing them as the new baseline/reality.

In today's connected world, corporate executives and board members live in a digital space that extends far beyond their company's networks. Chris Pierson, CEO and Founder of BlackCloak, explains how protecting leaders requires more than traditional enterprise security—it calls for securing their personal digital lives.The threat landscape for high-profile individuals includes everything from compromised personal email accounts and hacked home networks to deepfake attacks and targeted identity theft. These risks not only threaten the individual but can cause significant financial and reputational damage to the companies they represent.BlackCloak addresses this by providing digital executive protection—securing executives, their families, and their homes with a blend of technology, privacy measures, and concierge-level service. This includes monitoring and removing data from brokers, detecting threats in the dark web, safeguarding home IoT devices, and even protecting yachts, jets, and vacation properties. The company also acts as an on-call cybersecurity and privacy advisor 24/7/365.A key component is the BlackCloak app, which serves as a security dashboard and communication hub. Through it, clients can see privacy risks being addressed in real time, receive alerts, and contact their dedicated concierge team. Behind the scenes, deception networks and active monitoring provide an extra layer of defense.Pierson highlights the growing convergence of cyber and physical threats. High-profile attacks and incidents in recent years underscore the importance of integrating cybersecurity with physical security, particularly for executives who are constantly in the public eye. With AI accelerating both the speed and sophistication of attacks, organizations need to consider a holistic approach—protecting not only networks and devices but the digital personas of their people.Ultimately, Pierson sees this as part of a broader shift toward making security a lifestyle component for executives, much like comprehensive healthcare benefits. It's about creating an always-on layer of protection that travels with them—whether they're in the office, at home, or halfway around the world.Learn more about BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebNote: This story contains promotional content.Learn more.Guest:Chris Pierson, Founder & CEO, BlackCloak | https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchristopherpierson/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com______________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from BlackCloak: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/blackcloakLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-storyKeywords: Black Hat 2025, zero trust security, cybersecurity conference, ThreatLocker, default deny strategy, endpoint protection, application control, threat detection, enterprise security, network security, cybersecurity solutions, security automation, malware prevention, cyber threats, information security, security platform, Black Hat USA, cybersecurity innovation, managed detection response, security operations
Guest: Dominik Swierad, Senior PM D&R AI and Sec-Gemini Topics: When introducing AI agents to security teams at Google, what was your initial strategy to build trust and overcome the natural skepticism? Can you walk us through the very first conversations and the key concerns that were raised? With a vast array of applications, how did you identify and prioritize the initial use cases for AI agents within Google's enterprise security? What specific criteria made a use case a good candidate for early evaluation? Were there any surprising 'no-go' areas you discovered?" Beyond simple efficiency gains, what were the key metrics and qualitative feedback mechanisms you used to evaluate the success of the initial AI agent deployments? What were the most significant hurdles you faced in transitioning from successful pilots to broader adoption of AI agents? How do you manage the inherent risks of autonomous agents, such as potential for errors or adversarial manipulation, within a live and critical environment like Google's? How has the introduction of AI agents changed the day-to-day responsibilities and skill requirements for Google's security engineers? From your unique vantage point of deploying defensive AI agents, what are your biggest concerns about how threat actors will inevitably leverage similar technologies?

This week, your Sustainability Now! host, Justin Mog, sits down with Robert LeVertis Bell, a JCPS teacher who has recently announced his candidacy for the open Kentucky House District 43 race. Bell's experience includes social justice activism, teaching in JCPS, and leadership in the Shelby Park Neighborhood Association and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In late July, Robert LeVertis Bell, a community organizer and veteran of Louisville's progressive movement, announced his campaign to represent Kentucky House District 43 in the 2026 Democratic primary. Bell, a 45-year-old West Louisville native, is a seventh grade English teacher. In 2022, Bell ran for the same seat and lost narrowly to incumbent Pam Stevenson, despite the death of his mother at the end of the campaign and the full weight of the Democratic establishment backing his opponent. This time, the seat is open, as Stevenson is vacating it to run for US Senate. Bell is entering the race at a moment of rising momentum for democratic socialist candidates across the country. His campaign draws inspiration from New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's recent upset victory in the New York City mayoral primary, where Mamdani, backed by DSA and a coalition of labor and progressive organizations, defeated a prominent establishment figure on a platform of housing justice and public investment. Bell's political roots run deep—he is the grandson of Louisville civil rights legend Mattie Jones. He currently teaches English at Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North, an all-boys public school in South Louisville where Bell had also served as a JCTA union representative. Bell's platform centers around four key planks: strong schools, safe and affordable housing, and real political power for working people. His proposals include: • Raising the minimum wage and cracking down on wage theft • Funding high-paying jobs in public schools for professional educators to teach children with best practices rather than relying on screens and AI. • Expanding union rights and collective bargaining across the public and private sectors • Fully funding public schools and universal Pre-K • Expanding renter protections, including local control over tenant laws and a pathway to rent control • Repealing Kentucky's anti-trans legislation (SB 150) and restoring abortion rights • A Kentucky Green New Deal that resists data center pollution, reins in LG&E, and pushes for public ownership of utilities • Securing local revenue authority for Louisville and reversing state interference The primary election is coming up on May 19, 2026 and all 100 seats in the Kentucky House will be on the ballot next year.
