Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x606! Préambule Nous avons rencontré un problème technique durant l'enregistrement. L'équipement a cessé de fonctionner, sans que nous nous en rendions compte. Nous avons conservé le segment qui est utilisable. Shameless plug 12 au 17 octobre 2025 - Objective by the sea v8 10 au 12 novembre 2025 - IAQ - Le Rendez-vous IA Québec 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 Description Ce podcast enregistré lors de NorthSec réunit l'animateur et Martin Dubé pour une discussion nostalgique sur l'évolution de la communauté cybersécurité québécoise, particulièrement autour du Hackfest et de NorthSec. Les débuts du Hackfest et l'innovation des CTF Martin Dubé raconte ses débuts en 2010 au Hackfest, alors qu'il était étudiant en deuxième année d'université. À cette époque, l'événement était très différent d'aujourd'hui : les organisateurs transportaient des serveurs physiques hébergés chez eux jusqu'à l'hôtel, utilisant des technologies comme Proxmox et VMware. Cette période artisanale contraste fortement avec l'automatisation moderne mise en place par des équipes comme celle de Laurent au NorthSec. L'innovation majeure de cette époque fut l'introduction du format “attaque-défense” pour les CTF, remplaçant le traditionnel format “jeopardy” (matrice de challenges par catégories). Ce nouveau format permettait aux participants d'attaquer les infrastructures des autres équipes tout en défendant la leur, créant une dynamique plus réaliste et complexe. Leadership et apprentissage par la pratique Martin souligne l'importance de l'aspect leadership dans son rôle de responsable des CTF. Gérer une équipe de bénévoles non rémunérés lui a enseigné des compétences précieuses en gestion d'équipe, motivation par la reconnaissance et coordination de projets complexes. Cette expérience s'est révélée cruciale pour sa carrière professionnelle, démontrant que l'implication dans la communauté offre bien plus que des compétences techniques. Il encourage fortement les nouveaux arrivants dans le domaine à s'impliquer dans de tels événements, car cela permet de garnir son CV d'expériences pertinentes et facilite l'entrée sur le marché du travail. Cette recommandation reste valable aujourd'hui, même si le domaine s'est professionnalisé. L'innovation de la track Windows Un moment marquant fut la création de la “track Windows” au NorthSec, une innovation que Martin et Stéphan Sigman considèrent comme pionnière. Contrairement aux challenges synthétiques habituels, cette track simulait un véritable environnement d'entreprise avec Active Directory, partages réseau mal configurés, GPO contenant des mots de passe, et autres vulnérabilités typiques des infrastructures corporatives. Cette approche répondait à une critique importante : les CTF traditionnels développaient des compétences sur des challenges artificiels, tandis que les vrais pentesters doivent attaquer des réseaux d'entreprise réels. La track Windows a forcé les participants à développer des compétences directement applicables au Red Teaming et aux tests d'intrusion internes. Évolution technologique et impact de l'IA La discussion aborde l'évolution technologique du domaine. Martin observe que la sécurité par défaut s'est considérablement améliorée depuis les années 2010, rendant les vulnérabilités basiques moins fréquentes. L'arrivée de l'intelligence artificielle transforme également le paysage professionnel, mais plutôt comme un assistant qu'un remplaçant pour les pentesteurs. L'IA automatise certains aspects du travail de sécurité, notamment dans les outils de défense comme Sentinel pour l'analyse de logs. Cependant, Martin et l'animateur s'accordent sur le fait que l'IA reste un multiplicateur de force nécessitant une direction humaine, particulièrement en Red Team et pentest. Expérimentations mémorables Le podcast évoque plusieurs expérimentations marquantes, notamment les CTF avec des maquettes physiques comme le barrage hydroélectrique de 2013, précurseur des préoccupations actuelles sur la sécurité IoT et OT. Ces innovations visuelles permettaient aux non-participants de comprendre concrètement ce qu'était le hacking. L'expérience la plus mémorable reste les éditions “taupes” : des CTF 12 vs 12 ou 20 vs 20 où certains participants étaient secrètement des espions pour l'équipe adverse, simulant l'espionnage industriel. Ces expérimentations, bien que créatrices de “drama”, démontraient l'importance de prendre des risques calculés pour innover. Communauté et networking professionnel Un aspect crucial souligné est la valeur du réseau professionnel créé par ces événements. La communauté cybersécurité québécoise, bien que pas nécessairement composée d'amis proches, forme un réseau où chacun connaît les autres et peut interagir facilement. Cette connectivité s'avère particulièrement précieuse lors des transitions de carrière ou des périodes de recherche d'emploi. Cette dimension communautaire devient encore plus importante dans le contexte économique actuel, où les restrictions budgétaires entraînent des licenciements même dans le secteur technologique traditionnellement stable. Gestion des risques et culture d'apprentissage La conversation aborde la culture du risque et de l'erreur dans la communauté. Martin prône une approche permettant l'expérimentation et l'erreur, créant un “safe space” pour les bénévoles. Il partage un exemple récent où un bénévole a rencontré des difficultés opérationnelles, et comment son expérience lui a permis d'accompagner cette personne pour désamorcer le stress et trouver une solution. Cette philosophie s'oppose à l'élitisme parfois présent dans la communauté cybersécurité. Les deux interlocuteurs s'accordent sur l'importance de permettre aux nouveaux arrivants de faire des erreurs et d'apprendre, condition essentielle pour éviter la stagnation communautaire et favoriser l'inclusion. Réflexions sur l'humilité et l'évolution Le podcast se termine sur une note d'humilité, évoquant comment Olivier (probablement le président sortant de NorthSec) a publiquement reconnu avoir peut-être poussé trop fort ses équipes de bénévoles vers la perfection. Cette reconnaissance publique illustre la maturité croissante de la communauté et l'importance de l'équilibre entre excellence et bienveillance. Martin partage également ses propres “blessures de guerre” professionnelles, ces erreurs passées qui, bien que parfois encore douloureuses, constituent un apprentissage précieux qu'il souhaite transmettre aux générations suivantes. Conclusion Ce podcast offre un regard privilégié sur l'évolution de la cybersécurité québécoise, montrant comment l'innovation, la prise de risques calculés et la construction communautaire ont façonné l'écosystème actuel. Il souligne l'importance de maintenir un équilibre entre excellence technique et bienveillance humaine, tout en continuant à expérimenter pour faire évoluer le domaine. L'expérience de Martin Dubé illustre parfaitement comment l'implication bénévole peut catalyser une carrière professionnelle tout en contribuant significativement au développement d'une communauté technique dynamique et inclusive.

Gartner predicts that by 2027, artificial intelligence (AI) will be responsible for half of all business decisions, either through full automation or partial augmentation. This shift is driven by the increasing pressure on technology companies to deliver returns on their AI investments, with small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) rapidly adopting these tools. However, a significant skills gap remains, as 95% of SMBs report needing more training to effectively utilize AI. The report emphasizes the importance of human oversight to ensure data quality and governance, suggesting that companies prioritizing AI literacy training could see revenue increases of up to 20%.Despite the enthusiasm for AI, a study from Stanford University reveals that professionals prefer using AI for automating mundane tasks rather than more complex responsibilities. The research indicates a strong desire for human control in the workplace, highlighting a disconnect between the tasks companies assign to AI and what workers actually want to automate. This gap presents an opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to bridge the divide by focusing on human-centered workflow design and aligning AI deployment with employee expectations.In the realm of productivity tools, OpenAI and Anthropic are making strides with new integrations that enhance user interaction with AI. OpenAI is testing a feature that allows users to analyze emails and manage schedules through ChatGPT, while Anthropic's CLAWD code has improved its toolchain for developers. These advancements signify a shift in how end users will expect to interact with their tools, pushing providers to adapt their roles from managing infrastructure to managing intelligence and intent.Broadcom's recent changes to VMware's licensing model have raised concerns among smaller customers, with reports of cost increases significantly impacting their budgets. While Broadcom claims that many of its top customers are adopting the VMware Cloud Foundation, the dissatisfaction among smaller clients indicates a need for IT providers to offer migration services and alternative solutions. The current landscape presents a critical moment for providers to assist clients in navigating these changes, ensuring they find resilient and appropriately priced platforms that meet their needs. Four things to know today 00:00 From Hype to Help: AI Decision-Making Surges, But Poor Guidance Risks Undermining Gains05:23 OpenAI and Anthropic Expand AI Agents Into Daily Workflow—IT Providers Must Now Govern Behavior, Not Just Systems07:44 Efficiency Is the New MSP Battleground: Martello and WatchGuard Highlight Operational ROI10:35 Broadcom's VMware Pivot Forces MSPs to Choose Sides: Enterprise Loyalty or SMB Exodus This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Episode 385 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Julia Austin - Board Member, Executive Coach, HBS Senior Lecturer, Operator, Angel Investor, and now - Author. Another repeat original guest! Julia was a guest for Episode 30 of The VentureFizz Podcast back in 2018 where we do a deep dive into her background plus cover lots of interesting topics like what it takes to become a great Product Manager and others. In this interview, we catch up to discuss her new role as an author and the details about her new book called After The Idea - What It Really Takes to Create and Scale a Startup: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/julia-austin/after-the-idea/9781541705296 https://www.amazon.com/After-Idea-Really-Create-Startup/dp/1541705270 Julia is a seasoned operator who has served in leadership roles at several scaled technology companies like Akamai, VMware, and DigitalOcean. She has also advised hundreds of founders and startups. In this new book, which I believe will become a new staple in the entrepreneurial startup circles, she helps entrepreneurs navigate the complexities and challenges of building a startup like important matters around product, people, operations, and more. What I also appreciate the most about this book is the fact that it is very comprehensive, yet easy to understand and implement. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * A quick run through Julia's background - check out Episode 30 for the deeper dive. * How Julia became a member of the faculty at Harvard Business School and the impact of The Startup Operations course that she created. * The inside look at what it's like to write a book. * How proper discovery can help avoid false positives. * Why entrepreneurs don't always need a co-founder. * The importance of ABR - that being Always Be Recruiting - for founders. * The difference between Founders & Joiners * Comparing the Boston and NYC startup ecosystems. * And so much more.

Chatbots : pas toujours l'option LLM la plus intuitive ou la moins perturbatrice. Préconisation : IA directement dans les applications pour plus d'intelligence et d'utilité naturelle. Exemples d'intégration transparente : résumés des conversations Gmail et chat, web clipper Obsidian qui résume et taggue, complétion de code LLM. Meilleure UX IA : intégrée, contextuelle, sans “boutons IA” ou fenêtres de chat dédiées.

Technique d'attaque sophistiquée : les packages volent les identifiants utilisateur, récupèrent un payload chiffré depuis des serveurs contrôlés par les pirates, puis remplacent le fichier main.js de Cursor. Persistance assurée en désactivant les mises à jour automatiques de Cursor et en redémarrant l'application avec le code malveillant intégré. Nouvelle méthode de compromission : au lieu d'injecter directement du malware, les attaquants publient des packages qui modifient des logiciels légitimes déjà installés sur le système. Persistance même après suppression : le malware reste actif même si les packages npm malveillants sont supprimés, nécessitant une réinstallation complète de Cursor. Exploitation de la confiance : en s'exécutant dans le contexte d'une application légitime (IDE), le code malveillant hérite de tous ses privilèges et accès. Package “rand-user-agent” compromis : un package légitime populaire a été infiltré pour déployer un cheval de Troie d'accès distant (RAT) dans certaines versions. Recommandations de sécurité : surveiller les packages exécutant des scripts post-installation, modifiant des fichiers hors node_modules, ou initiant des appels réseau inattendus, avec monitoring d'intégrité des fichiers. Loi, société et organisation Le drama OpenRewrite (automatisation de refactoring sur de larges bases de code) est passé en mode propriétaire https://medium.com/@jonathan.leitschuh/when-open-source-isnt-how-openrewrite-lost-its-way-642053be287d Faits Clés : Moderne, Inc. a re-licencié silencieusement du code OpenRewrite (dont rewrite-java-security) de la licence Apache 2.0 à une licence propriétaire (MPL) sans consultation des contributeurs. Ce re-licenciement rend le code inaccessible et non modifiable pour les contributeurs originaux. Moderne s'est retiré de la Commonhaus Foundation (dédiée à l'open source) juste avant ces changements. La justification de Moderne est la crainte que de grandes entreprises utilisent OpenRewrite sans contribuer, créant une concurrence. Des contributions communautaires importantes (VMware, AliBaba) sous Apache 2.0 ont été re-licenciées sans leur consentement. La légalité de ce re-licenciement est incertaine sans CLA des contributeurs. Cette action crée un précédent dangereux pour les futurs contributeurs et nuit à la confiance dans l'écosystème OpenRewrite. Corrections de Moderne (Suite aux réactions) : Les dépôts Apache originaux ont été restaurés et archivés. Des versions majeures ont été utilisées pour signaler les changements de licence. Des espaces de noms distincts (org.openrewrite vs. io.moderne) ont été créés pour différencier les modules. Suggestions de Correction de l'Auteur : Annuler les changements de licence sur toutes les recettes communautaires. S'engager dans le dialogue et communiquer publiquement les changements majeurs. Respecter le versionnement sémantique (versions majeures pour les changements de licence).

Send us a textWhat happens when a leader embraces the role of team coach? In this episode, we sit down with Harvey Smith, VP Partners, who shares his experience leading partner teams across EMEA through his natural team coaching approach.  Harvey opens up about the delicate balance between authority and humility that defines great team coaching leadership. Drawing on his extensive experience at DocuSign, Salesforce, Tableau, and VMware, Harvey reveals how he transformed disparate teams into cohesive units through simple but powerful approaches.His mantra? “If you've got 27 priorities, you haven't got any.” By focusing on no more than three clearly ranked objectives, Harvey empowered his team to stay aligned, and say no to distractions. The phrase “Harvey says no” became a cultural shorthand for protecting priorities and staying on mission. We delve into how genuine trust is built within teams. Harvey shares his belief in vulnerability and accessibility, implementing skip-level meetings where team members could speak freely and career development sessions that demonstrated his commitment to their growth. This created psychological safety that allowed honest communication to flourish.Harvey's innovative approaches to breaking down silos include his "pod model" for cross-functional collaboration and strategic use of "stretch projects" that deliberately positioned team members to connect teams.When it comes to conflict, Harvey doesn't shy away. His take? “Partners are like a car accident – everyone slows down to look but no one wants to get involved.” His solution? Proactive education, clear communication channels, and shared understanding of roles and responsibilities.Book PicksRebel Ideas by Matthew Syed – on the power of diverse thinkingThe Culture Map by Erin Meyer – a must-read for navigating global teams.Whether you're managing partners, leading through change, or simply trying to create more effective teams, this episode offers practical wisdom for balancing the human element with unwavering focus on business outcomes.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

In this May 2025 episode AJ Witt, Martin Thompson, and Kelly Yip explore the stories making waves across cybersecurity, licensing, and sustainability. Stories discussed this month: Cybersecurity breaches hit UK retailers M&S and the Co-op — what ITAM can learn from the fallout Social engineering tactics and the growing risk to asset and security management Broadcom's aggressive VMware licensing audits — what they mean for your estate The rise of the secondary software market and what's driving its momentum How ITAM and FinOps collaboration can strengthen organisational resilience and efficiency

New data reveals a significant divide in the managed service provider (MSP) landscape, with AI and infrastructure maturity emerging as key factors distinguishing high-growth MSPs from their lower-growth counterparts. A report from JumpCloud indicates that while 89% of MSPs saw revenue growth in 2024, only 22% achieved high growth, defined as an increase of over 20%. Successful providers are characterized by their willingness to adopt new technologies and integrate artificial intelligence into their operations, which enhances efficiency and customer support. The managed services market is experiencing a surge, driven by advancements in AI and a wave of mergers and acquisitions, with over 100 deals surpassing $1 billion in disclosed value in the first quarter of 2025.The U.S. Department of Commerce has renamed its AI Safety Institute to the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, shifting its focus towards national security and international AI standards. This change reflects a broader strategy to accelerate the growth of American AI companies while addressing risks such as cybersecurity and foreign influence. Meanwhile, the FDA has launched a generative AI tool named ELSA to streamline its regulatory processes, marking a significant step in integrating AI into government operations. Additionally, Texas is poised to join other states in implementing right to repair laws, promoting sustainability in electronics by mandating manufacturers to provide spare parts and manuals.OpenAI has announced updates to ChatGPT, enhancing its functionality for professionals with features that allow integration with tools like email and cloud storage. These updates position ChatGPT as a more versatile option in a competitive landscape, while Anthropic has open-sourced a circuit tracing tool to improve understanding and control of large language models. Coro, a cybersecurity platform, has launched a new partner program aimed at enhancing partner profitability and growth, emphasizing a streamlined experience for small and medium-sized businesses.Broadcom has made significant changes to its VMware Partner Program, reducing the number of authorized partners and restructuring tiers to focus on monetization and control rather than modernization. This shift raises concerns for partners who may find themselves at risk of being sidelined as Broadcom consolidates its market control. The evolving landscape underscores the importance for IT service providers to adapt to these changes, prioritize AI integration, and ensure that their offerings align with emerging regulatory frameworks and market demands.  Four things to know today00:00 What Sets Top MSPs Apart in 2025?

Steven Dickens sees Broadcom (AVGO) as a "more balanced business" with an expanding A.I. runway. He points to its VMware acquisition and growing list of partnerships with companies like Alphabet (GOOGL) as tailwinds. He notes a correlation with Broadcom and Nvidia (NVDA), but sees that correlation diverging with Broadcom's software exposure.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

  In this episode of Trending, host Jim Love discusses several major tech stories. Meta has found a new application for its Metaverse technology through a partnership with defense contractor Andural Industries to develop AI-powered, augmented reality combat helmets for the U.S. military. Apple is rumored to be making its upcoming iPhone 17 Air the first completely port-less iPhone, relying entirely on wireless charging and technology. Broadcom is restructuring VMware's partner program, cutting the lowest tier of partners, and focusing on higher-tier partners with capabilities for VMware Cloud Foundation. In legal news, Shopify wins a significant privacy battle against the Canada Revenue Agency, which was ordered to pay $90,000 in legal costs for overreaching demands for merchant data. 00:00 Introduction and Headlines 00:32 Meta's Military Metaverse 03:50 Apple's Wireless Future 06:39 Broadcom's VMware Shakeup 10:32 Shopify's Legal Victory 12:08 Conclusion and Sign-Off

I recently came across an excellent blog by William Lam, which discussed how to set up VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x on a single box for home labs. William created a Github page that goes over the whole process, and provided all the tweaks and scripts needed to get it done. I wanted to discuss this process with William, as I believe many folks in the VMware/Broadcom community will be interested in deploying this at home, or at work, to go through that full VCF experience but without needing a larger lab environment. Thanks William, for a fantastic episode.Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions shared in this podcast are our own/guest(s), and not necessarily those of Broadcom, VMware by Broadcom, or SAP.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Glen Shok, VP of Product Marketing at Panzura, for a detailed look into how the company is rethinking hybrid cloud storage with the release of CloudFS 8.5 Adapt. CloudFS 8.5 isn't just another update. Built in direct response to customer feedback, it introduces powerful new features like Instant Node and Regional Store that redefine performance, availability, and business continuity. Instant Node allows failed systems to be replaced or migrated in under five minutes.  Regional Store brings high-speed data access closer to end users around the world while reducing latency and cloud egress costs. As Glen explains, the latest release meets the growing demand for flexibility in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, rising cloud costs, and evolving IT infrastructure. Panzura is helping organizations maintain uptime, protect data, and adapt quickly, whether moving away from VMware or modernizing a global IT footprint. CloudFS 8.5 Adapt enables this without forcing customers to compromise on control, performance, or security. We also explore how Panzura's vision for autonomic data infrastructure is becoming a reality. With every CloudFS node sharing full configuration metadata, new nodes can spin up almost instantly. AI plays a central role here too. Through Panzura Data Services, AI tracks behavioral anomalies to detect early signs of data exfiltration, ransomware, or internal threats. This provides not just alerts, but the ability to interdict and isolate risky behavior in real time. Looking ahead, Glen shares how Panzura is preparing to support AI workloads directly where unstructured data lives. Instead of migrating terabytes to external platforms, organizations can train language models in place, reducing cost and complexity. With features like enhanced RBAC, native Entra ID support, and a virtual data lake model on the horizon, Panzura is clearly positioning itself at the intersection of enterprise storage and AI innovation. If you work in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data governance, or AI deployment, this episode offers practical insights into the challenges IT teams face today and the technologies that are solving them.

Charter Communications has announced its acquisition of Cox Communications for $34.5 billion, a significant move that will merge two of the largest internet service providers in the United States. This merger is expected to require approval from the Federal Communications Commission due to Cox's critical operational licenses. The combined entity plans to adopt the Cox Communications name, with Spectrum serving as the consumer-facing brand in areas previously served by Cox. This merger could potentially impact service quality for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that rely on Cox as their provider, especially during the integration phase.In another major development, Proofpoint has revealed its plans to acquire Hornet Security for $1 billion, aiming to enhance its cybersecurity offerings and expand its presence in the cloud security market. Hornet Security specializes in Microsoft 365 solutions and has shown impressive growth, reporting over $160 million in annual recurring revenue. This acquisition may alienate Hornet Security's managed service provider (MSP) partners if there are changes in pricing, support models, or access to services, creating an opportunity for competitors to attract disaffected partners.Arm is rebranding its system-on-a-chip product designs to focus on power savings for artificial intelligence workloads, targeting sectors like automotive and cloud computing.
