Send us a textIn this high-energy and entertaining episode, Joey Pinz sits down with cybersecurity founder and unabashed Italian-American storyteller Tony Pietrocola. From stomping grapes as a child to running an AI-driven security operations platform, Tony brings a rare blend of toughness, humor, and entrepreneurial clarity.They jump from wine, cooking, and massive NFL bodies to college football, concussions, and how elite athletes are built differently. Tony shares what makes college football the real American spectacle—and why private equity is about to reshape the sport.On the cybersecurity front, Tony breaks down the challenges MSPs face, why most still struggle with security, and how AgileBlue helps them build profitable, white-label practices without the overhead of running a SOC. He explains the three questions every MSP should ask a vendor, the rise of AI-assisted attacks, and why consolidation and greenfield opportunities are the biggest missed revenue streams.The conversation ends with health, habit, and personal transformation—discussing Joey's 130-lb weight loss, Tony's daily 5 a.m. workouts, and the childhood structure that forged their work ethic.
Okay. This show today is part of our Relentless Health Value "The Inches Are All Around Us" series. This Inches Talk is a metaphor for finding all those little places where there is healthcare waste as a first step in an effort to excise all these little pockets of waste. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Shane Cerone said this phrase during episode 492, and I loved it because there are inches all around us for sure. And the thing with all these inches that we're gonna talk about today and last week and next week and the week after that, yeah, these are inches that actually you could cut them. And there are millions and billions of dollars, and you actually improve patient care. You improve clinical team experience. Also, you're cutting out friction and making it easier to do the right thing to care for patients. These are no-brainer kinds of stuff if your North Star is better and more affordable patient care, but they are also somebody else's bread and butter in a "one person's cost is another person's revenue" kind of way. So, yeah … what makes perfect common sense might not be as easy as it might look on paper, as we all know so well. So, last week we dug into all of the inches of expensive friction that develop when stakeholders interact—like, a clinical organization and a payer and a plan sponsor, self-insured employer. They try to get paid or pay. They try to direct contract because what will be found fast enough is that the data is not the data is not the data, as Mark Newman talked about last week (EP496); and a dollar is not a dollar is not a dollar. Again, you'll find this out fast enough. All of you know when you talk to entities up and down the patient journey or across the life of a claim, otherwise known as a healthcare transaction. It's mayhem to get a claim paid often enough. Each stakeholder comes in with their own priorities and views and accounting methods and various rollups. I like how Stephanie Hartline put it. She wrote, "Healthcare … moves through many hands without a rail that preserves truth along the way. Attribution breaks, and truth gets reassembled later. The difference isn't capability—it's infrastructure. Line-item billing ≠ line-item settlement." Or I also like how Chris Erwin put it. He wrote, "When the blueprint isn't standardized, you aren't scaling. You're just compounding chaos." And yeah, then all of a sudden when there's no through line, there's no rail that connects all the data to the data to the data, or all the dollars to the dollars to the dollars. Suddenly 30% of any given healthcare transaction goes to trying to straighten it all back out again—to reassemble it, as Stephanie said. It's like unleashing 100 chaos monkeys and then having to pay to recapture them all. Listen to the show with David Scheinker, PhD (EP363) from last year about "Hey, how about we all just use the same template and avoid a lot of this." Or read Zeke Emanuel's book about how the USA should potentially consider copying the Netherlands model because they have private insurance. But they cut admin costs 75% or something like that. Oh, right … through standardization. Jesse Hendon summarized this the other day. He wrote, "Providers don't need armies of coders to fight 50 different insurance rule books [when you have some standardization here]." I say all this to say after recording the episode with Mark Newman from last week, I have become intently fascinated by what goes on in this non-standardized or otherwise friction points between stakeholders. There are a lot of inches in this gray area land of confusion. This show today digs into one of them, which is what does it take to process a claim? Just technically. What are the pipes involved to submit a claim and, again, get paid for it, which is a healthcare transaction—just simply the technology moving the data around—even if everything in the pipes is a non-standardized hot mess. Because just fixing up the processing and the pipes here—again, while this doesn't solve the entire data isn't a data isn't a data or a dollar isn't a dollar isn't a dollar problem—if we can just cut out some of the processing and the moving the data around costs, just this all by itself is $6 billion a year worth of inches. Plus, as an added bonus, fix up the pipes for better data flow and now patient care can be faster if, for example, the prior auth or etc. processes transpire faster. And clearinghouses have entered the chat. But you know, when clearinghouses come up, at least in my world, when the clearinghouse word gets dropped, it's usually accompanied by like a puff of smoke because no one is quite sure what those guys do all day. So, we all sort of look at each other in the conversation and move on. Lucky for me and possibly you if I've managed to suck you into my web of intrigue, I ran into Zack Kanter from Stedi, a new clearinghouse, who agreed to come on the pod here and aid my exploration into this demarcation zone between stakeholders. So, let's start here. What is a clearinghouse? Well, a clearinghouse is the same thing as a switch when we're talking about pharmacy data transfers, if you're familiar with that terminology and that's helpful. But either way, in the conversation with Zack Kanter that follows, Zack will explain this better; but clearinghouses are like a hub, maybe, that connects all the payers with all the providers. So, if you want an eligibility check or you wanna submit a claim or do a prior auth of the payer, whatever you're trying to do, get paid, you as an EHR system or a doctor's office or an RCM (revenue cycle management) company, you don't have to set up your own personal data connection with every single payer out there. You don't have to go through all the authentications and the BAAs (Business Associate Agreements) and map all the fields and set up the 100 SOC 2–compliant APIs (application programming interfaces). Instead, you can hook up to one clearinghouse, and then that clearinghouse connects with everybody else. So, most medical claims transactions have a clearinghouse in the middle, like an old-timey telephone operator routing your claim or denial or approval of that claim or eligibility check or whatever to the right place. And unfortunately, old-timey telephone operator is a pretty apt metaphor, depending on which clearinghouse you're using. Anyway, Zack Kanter told me that the price to just send and receive an electronic little piece of data in healthcare through a clearinghouse costs about 1,000 times more than any other industry would pay. Like, if you do an eligibility check, that's gonna cost 10 to 15 cents per. The trucking industry pays that much for 1,000 such data transfers. They would riot if someone asked them to spend a dollar for 10 data transfers. That'd be ridiculous in their eyes. But in healthcare, all these dimes add up to, again, $6 billion a year—them's some inches there—which also equal delays in payment and patient care. Now you might be thinking, "Oh, well, maybe it costs this much because healthcare is so much more complicated than trucking or whatever." Well, turns out the opposite is true: Because of HIPAA, ironically enough, healthcare is, in fact, much more standardized (we were talking about standardization before); but healthcare is actually much more standardized than many other industries due to HIPAA's administrative simplification rules, which mandate a universal language for transactions—the pipes I'm talking about now. So, actually, for as much as I was just kvetching about chaos monkeys, compared to other industries, the baseline construct here is actually much more orderly than, for example, the trucking industry or whatever, like Amazon or Walmart has to deal with with their millions of vendors. Now—and here's a really big point, especially for self-insured employers—you know who the main customer is for a lot of the more programmatic, the newer kinds of clearinghouses? I'll tell you: newer digital entities who do RCM (revenue cycle management) for provider organizations, and that can be great if you're a practice just trying to keep up with payer denials and expedite patient care. But look, all you plan sponsors and self-assured employers and maybe unions out there, the more RCM purveyors start working with programmatic clearinghouses, the more you not doing programmatic prepayment integrity programs with unconflicted third-party prepayment integrity vendors who are as hooked into the data streams and the clearinghouses as the RCM vendors are, the more, as I said last week, increasingly you're bringing an ever more rusty knife to a gunfight. So, that is certainly something to consider. There's a whole episode next week about this with Mark Noel from ClaimInsight. Or if you just can't wait, go back and listen to the show with Kimberly Carleson (EP480) just for the gist of it, or the one with Dawn Cornelis (EP285) from a few years ago. They're talking post-payment integrity programs, but a lot of the same rules apply. The show today is sponsored by Aventria Health Group, as usual. But I do want to say that we got some very appreciated financial support from Stedi, the only programmable healthcare clearinghouse. And here is my conversation about all of the inches that are all around us, specifically in the healthcare data pipes, with Zack Kanter, who is the CEO and founder over at Stedi. Also mentioned in this episode are Stedi; Shane Cerone; Mark Newman; Stephanie Hartline; Chris Erwin; David Scheinker, PhD; Zeke Emanuel, MD, PhD; Jesse Hendon; Mark Noel; ClaimInsight; Kimberly Carleson; Dawn Cornelis; Aventria Health Group; Preston Alexander; Eric Bricker, MD; and Kada Health.

In this Brand Highlight, Ivan Milenkovic, Vice President, Cyber Risk Technology at Qualys, joins host Sean Martin to discuss how security leaders can break free from the whack-a-mole cycle of vulnerability management.With more than 48,000 vulnerabilities disclosed in 2025 alone and the average enterprise juggling 76 different security consoles, Milenkovic argues that the old methods of counting patches and chasing alerts are no longer sustainable. Instead, Qualys helps organizations prioritize threats based on business context through what the company calls TruRisk.Milenkovic describes a fundamental shift he sees taking place in boardroom conversations: moving from risk appetite to risk tolerance. Boards and executives now want to know what specific losses mean to the business rather than simply asking whether the organization is secure.For CISOs, this means evolving from the department of "No" to the department of "Know," where security leaders understand where problems exist, how to fix them, and what architecture supports business objectives. The key is demonstrating return on investment through resilience metrics rather than vulnerability counts.Qualys addresses this challenge through its Enterprise TruRisk Management platform, which facilitates what Milenkovic calls the Risk Operations Center. Unlike a traditional SOC that focuses on incidents that have already occurred, the ROC takes a proactive stance, helping organizations prevent threats and optimize security spending before damage occurs.This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.

Mike Vetri, Sr. Director of Security Operations at Veeva Systems, reflects on transforming SOC investigations through AI-powered data aggregation and building threat operations teams with the analytical mindset required for proactive defense. Mike introduces the C3 Matrix framework for prioritizing security efforts across centers of gravity, crown jewels, and capability enablers, and explains the seven Ds of cyber defense from discovery through deception operations. Drawing from 10+ years of Air Force cyber intelligence experience, Mike details why threat operations requires fundamentally different system-two thinking than detection engineering, and how this discipline shift moves organizations from reactive firefighting to proactive threat anticipation. He covers practical examples of AI cutting investigation time by aggregating data from multiple tools, the importance of defense in personnel for operational resilience, and strategies for preventing analyst burnout while maintaining effective security operations. Topics discussed: How AI transforms insider threat investigations by aggregating workstation logs, browsing history, and DLP alerts into single queries The C3 Matrix framework prioritizes security controls across centers of gravity, crown jewels, and capability enablers based on organizational impact and recoverability Why threat operations requires system-two analytical thinking fundamentally different from the engineering mindset The seven Ds of cyber defense: discover, detect, deny, disrupt, degrade, destroy, and deception operations for comprehensive threat mitigation How deception operations provide the most accurate intelligence by studying adversary behavior in controlled environments The distinction between threat intelligence and threat operations, and why mature SOCs need teams focused on proactive defense strategies Defense in personnel ensures multiple team members can handle each security capability, preventing single points of failure Time-sensitive investigation scenarios where AI delivers maximum ROI by eliminating the need to manually query dozens of security tools The evolution of cyber threats from technical attacks to psychological warfare using AI to challenge human judgment and decision-making Why security culture must extend beyond traditional boundaries as AI-powered threats increasingly target HR processes, financial operations, and business functions Listen to more episodes: Apple Spotify YouTube Website
First Topic - Podcast Content Plans for 2026 Every year, I like to sit down and consider what the podcast should be focusing on. Not doing so ensures every single episode will be about AI and nobody wants that. Least of all, me. If I have one more all-AI episode, my head is going to explode. With that said, most of what we talk about in this segment is AI (picard face palm.png). I think 2026 will be THE defining year for GenAI. Three years after the release of ChatGPT, I think we've hit peak GenAI hype and folks are ready for it to put up or shut up. We'll see winners grow and get acquired and losers pivot to something else. More than anything, I want to interview folks who have actually seen it work at scale, rather than just in a cool demo in a vendor sandbox. Also on the agenda for this year: The battle against infostealers and session hijacking: we didn't have a good answer in 2025. When is it coming? Will it include Macs, despite them not having a traditional TPM? The state of trust in outsourcing and third party use (Cloud, MSSPs, SaaS, contractors): 2025 was not a good year for third parties. Lots of them got breached and caused their customers a lot of pain. Also, there's the state of balkanization between the US and... the rest of the entire world. Everyone outside the US seems to be trying to derisk their companies and systems from the Cloud Act right now. Vulnerability management market disruption: there are half a dozen startups already plotting to disrupt the market, likely to come out of stealth in 2026 Future of the SOC: if it's not AI, what is it? What else??? What am I missing? What would you like to see us discuss?

Recruiting on social sounds easy… until you try it. In this episode of HR Famous, Tim Sackett sits down with Sean Worden (CEO/Founder) and Katy Schuck (Co-Founder/COO) of Reelist to unpack why most TA teams struggle to hire through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and beyond, and what it actually takes to make social recruiting work in the real world. Sean starts with the big picture: Reelist makes it “ridiculously easy” to recruit off social by automating creative, running paid + organic campaigns, handling brand safety and compliance, messaging and screening candidates, and tying it all back to your ATS with real-time optimization. Then the conversation gets fun: Reelist didn't start there. It began as a “TikTok for jobs” concept (think video-based matching)… until they realized it was turning into a job board with extra steps. The pivot? Build the infrastructure that helps employers recruit where people already are on their phones while scrolling. Tim pushes into the questions every TA leader asks: Which channel works best for in-person roles? The answer isn't a generic “TikTok!” It depends on geography and density. For rural and small-town hiring, Sean breaks down why Facebook and Instagram often outperform, while TikTok targeting can fall apart when it forces broad DMA-level reach that doesn't match “I need someone to drive 15 minutes to this plant.” Katy brings the strategy home with two essentials: awareness and action. Social ads aren't meant to impress your C-suite, they're meant to hit candidates with what they care about (pay, conditions, location) in a tight message, then make it frictionless to apply now. That “instant gratification” moment matters because speed matters. Tim shares a Marriott story that proves it: the advantage often goes to whoever responds first, not to whoever has the prettiest employer-brand deck. They also dig into what “viral” means for recruiting content (including share-to-view ratios and platform-specific behavior), why the best videos qualify and disqualify quickly, and how social can reduce junk and bot applications by capturing real intent. Finally, the crew gets into agentic AI vs. traditional GenAI, API-driven automation, real-time ATS integrations, and why security/compliance (SOC 2 Type II and more) isn't optional anymore. If you've ever said, “We've tried social… it didn't work,” this episode might change your mind and your playbook.

Send us a textReady to turn CISSP Domain 3.5 into practical moves you can deploy on Monday? We unpack how real SOC teams apply microsegmentation, identity-aware controls, and targeted inspection to crush lateral movement without dragging performance. Along the way, we demystify AI's role: where detection engineering benefits from crisp use cases, how Tier 1 triage speeds up, and why models still need human oversight and rigorous validation to stay trustworthy.We also step through common network design traps that drain budgets and weaken defenses. VLAN sprawl looks tidy on paper but collapses under hybrid cloud dynamics. Central chokepoints promise control yet introduce latency and single failure domains. The smarter path is selective inline inspection where risk is highest, strong encryption everywhere else, and host-based enforcement that understands identity and context after decryption. If you've been tempted to collapse controls into one “do-everything” appliance, we lay out the hidden cost: a fragile core that turns into a single point of failure when you need it most.To ground the theory, we walk through scenario-style questions that mirror real decisions security leaders face: stopping east-west movement, balancing HA with inspection, drawing zero trust boundaries that don't assume implicit trust, and enforcing policy on encrypted traffic. You'll leave with patterns you can adapt immediately: start small, define use cases, validate outputs like code, and iterate with tight feedback loops. Whether you run a SOC, partner with an MSP, or are targeting a first-time CISSP pass, this conversation gives you a clear map from concept to control. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review so others can find it too.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!

In this episode, James sits down with Silas Cutler, Principal Security Researcher at Census and founding member of Oni Scans, to explore his unconventional journey through threat intelligence and malware analysis. What happens when your first day as a SOC analyst takes down a Fortune 500 company—and Anonymous gets the credit? From accidentally causing international headlines to going undercover in ransomware gangs, Silas has built a career on creative problem-solving and community building. He's become Facebook friends with hackers he investigates, created Malshare (a community malware repository), and founded B-Sides Pyongyang—a security conference celebrating "Missile Industry Day" that started as a joke but attracted 490 attendees.
Show Notes: Isa D'Elia, co-founder of GoalBridge, an AI startup in stealth mode opens the conversation with a brief overview of her background, mentioning she was at Amazon for five years and her co-founder, Vedant, was a software engineer at a financial institution in India. The Origin Story of GoalBridge Isa met her business partner in Berkeley Haas Business school. Through many discussions, they identified a problem in the consulting industry where consultants spent too much time on admin and manual work. They saw an opportunity to use AI to automate these tasks, leading to the creation of GoalBridge. Isa describes how they started working on GoalBridge, entering accelerators, and doing pivots. GoalBridge Iterations They found a design partner who needed a solution to discover their work within SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM, and email. GoalBridge's first iteration was a search AI agent that taps into various platforms to understand the context of engagements. The tool is called "building the brain of a firm" and has been tested with clients, leading to the development of additional agents. Isa introduces the first agent they built, a proposal building agent, which focuses on storyboarding proposals. Dealing with Non-billable Work Streams Consultants often complain about the tediousness of writing proposals, which are non-billable work streams. The agent helps create cohesive stories for proposals by using information from various sources and allowing iterations. They have a roadmap of additional agents to help consultants focus on strategy work rather than manual tasks. GoalBridge's Ideal Customer Profile When asked about the ideal customer profile for GoalBridge, Isa confirms they are targeting SMBs and tier two consulting firms, as larger firms have the resources to build their own tools. Currently, they have signed letters of intent with larger firms, indicating interest in their solution. The tool is designed to help consultants tap into strategy more effectively by automating manual tasks. Goalbridge's Access to Data The conversation turns to the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. Isa explains that the tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. AI Agent that Writes Case Studies and Compendiums Isa introduces the project closeout agent, which helps partners extract and share information, write case studies and compendiums for projects. The agent anonymizes data and creates a cohesive story from various sources, including emails. This agent addresses the issue of knowledge management being left to good intentions and helps capture project context. The closeout agent can also be used for older projects. Demonstrating GoalBridge Isa shows the tool's interface, which includes a project creation feature, a chat dialog box for queries, and a files tab for uploading documents. The tool can tap into various platforms like SharePoint, Google Drive, and CRM systems, with current integrations for HubSpot and Salesforce. They talk about the tool's ability to find examples of old projects and provide feedback on proposals. Isa explains the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. The tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She also talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. Primary Use Cases for GoalBridge Isa outlines the primary use cases for GoalBridge, including partners finding examples of old projects, engagement managers leveraging formatting, and associates copying slides. They discuss the potential for the tool to create PowerPoint presentations and provide feedback on them. Isa mentions future agents in the roadmap, such as a case study writing agent and a pricing strategy agent. The tool is designed to help consultants at all levels by automating manual tasks and improving the quality of their work. Security Concerns and Data Privacy On the issue of security and data privacy when giving external firms access to sensitive data, Isa explains that they have a separate server hosting client data, ensuring it is secure and not accessible by other clients. They are working on SOC 2 certification to further assure clients of their security measures. The tool does not train on client data, ensuring IP is protected and not used for other purposes. When it comes to pricing, Isa mentions their willingness to discuss pricing on a case-by-case basis.

Studying bats' hearing can be tricky due to their small size, making certain styles of measurement used for larger echolocating mammals unavailable to researchers. In this episode, we talk to Victoria Fouhy and Michael Smotherman (Texas A&M University) about their work to develop a noninvasive method to study cortical auditory evoked potentials in bats, thereby allowing scientists to better understand how these animals process echolocation information.Associated paper:- Victoria Fouhy, Sam Ellis, and Michael Smotherman.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Josh Flinn, Director of Product, Cloud Software at Digi International, about the company's achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and what it means for channel partners building secure, cloud-based IoT solutions. Digi International is a global leader in cellular connectivity for IoT, delivering secure, reliable connectivity for distributed devices such as remote sensors, smart city infrastructure, vehicles, and industrial systems. Operating as a channel-first company, Digi focuses on helping partners deploy and manage IoT solutions at scale through cloud-based platforms like Digi Remote Manager and Digi Ventus. During the discussion, Flinn explained that SOC 2 Type 2 is a significant milestone because it validates not only Digi's security controls but also the ongoing execution of secure development, auditing, and change management practices over time. For channel partners, this reduces friction in the sales cycle, simplifies security questionnaires, and provides confidence that core components of their solutions already meet rigorous security standards. As Flinn noted, “SOC 2 is not a one-time event—it's an ongoing commitment to secure operations.” The compliance attestation currently covers Digi Remote Manager for Digi 360 router and gateway platforms, as well as Digi Ventus, Digi's managed services cloud platform. Looking ahead, Digi is continuing to invest in security enhancements such as long-term support firmware, eSIM security capabilities, and automated compliance controls, reinforcing its cloud-first approach as partners and customers move toward increasingly distributed, IoT-driven environments.

Send Bidemi a Text Message!In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with Bruce Johnson of TekStream Solutions to unpack how the Whole of State initiative—with the Louisiana State University, Splunk, and Amazon Web Services—is turning classrooms into 24/7, student-powered SOCs that launch graduates into mid-level roles. With nearly four decades in IT security, Bruce shares how opening the door to any discipline builds stronger teams and real-world readiness. How do these student SOCs keep organizations safe while students learn? What does a typical shift and escalation look like? Can a philosophy or nursing major really become an analyst? How is success measured—placements, detection speed, or something else? Where does AI help without replacing humans? And what changed as the model expanded to New Jersey Institute of Technology and Louisiana Tech University?Support for The Bid Picture Podcast comes from Black Rifle Coffee Company, a veteran-founded coffee brand roasting premium beans for people who love a strong start to the day.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we dive deep into incident response, forensics, and monitoring essentials crucial for your tech exam prep. Learn the full incident response lifecycle—preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned—to develop your IT skills and master concepts important for the CompTIA exam. We discuss how having a solid plan, defined roles, and effective communication helps IT teams maintain clarity when systems fail. Tune in for real-world examples showing how SOC analysts escalate brute force attacks, how teams preserve evidence for forensics, and how incident debriefs lead to stronger security measures like multi-factor authentication. This episode is an essential part of your CompTIA study guide and technology education journey.We then turn to digital forensics and make it concrete. Legal hold, due process, and chain of custody aren't buzzwords—they're the difference between actionable findings and inadmissible claims. We break down the order of volatility, memory and disk acquisition, hashing, and write blockers, plus the reporting and e‑discovery steps that transform artifacts into a defensible narrative. If you've ever wondered when to pull the plug or why RAM matters, this segment gives you the why and the how.Finally, we zoom out to monitoring and the tools that power modern security operations. From Windows logs and Syslog to IDS, IPS, NetFlow, and packet capture with Wireshark, we show how each source fits the puzzle. We unpack SIEM fundamentals—log aggregation, normalization, correlation, alert tuning—and share strategies to beat alert fatigue without missing true positives. To round it out, we offer certification guidance across A+, Network+, Security+, and Tech+, helping you choose the right path whether you're SOC-bound or supporting compliance from another business unit.Subscribe for more practical cybersecurity breakdowns, share this with a teammate who needs a stronger IR playbook, and leave a review with your biggest monitoring or forensics question—we may feature it next time.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

What if you could hire an army of AI security analysts that work 24/7 investigating alerts so your human team can focus on what actually matters? Edward Wu, founder and CEO of DropZone AI, joins The Audit crew to reveal how large language models are transforming security operations—and why the future of cyber defense looks more like a drone war than traditional SOC work. From his eight years at AttackIQ generating millions of security alerts (and the fatigue that came with them), Edward built DropZone to solve the problem he helped create: alert overload. This conversation goes deep on AI agents specializing in different security domains, the asymmetry problem between attackers and defenders, and why deepfakes might require us to use "safe words" before every Zoom call. What You'll Learn: How AI tier-1 analysts automate 90% of alert triage to find real threats faster Why attackers only need to be right once, but AI can level the playing field Real-world deepfake attacks hitting finance teams right now The societal implications of AI-driven social engineering at scale Whether superintelligence will unlock warp engines or just better spreadsheets If alert fatigue is crushing your security team, this episode delivers the blueprint for fighting back with AI.
