Send us a textThe landscape of cloud security is rapidly evolving as AWS flexes its muscles with a suite of new native security offerings unveiled at AWS re:Inforce. From enhanced threat correlation capabilities in AWS Security Hub to seamless Transit Gateway integration for Network Firewall, these announcements signal Amazon's strategic expansion into territory traditionally dominated by third-party security vendors.We dive deep into the HPE-Juniper acquisition that finally received regulatory approval, but with interesting conditions – including the requirement to license parts of the coveted Mist AI technology. This could potentially open doors for competitors to leverage the same technology that made Juniper so attractive to HPE in the first place, creating a fascinating dynamic in the networking market.The most compelling theme emerging from AWS re:Inforce centers around Amazon's continued investment in native security tooling. New offerings like AWS Shield Network Security Director and IAM Access Analyzer directly challenge third-party CSPM providers, while improvements to existing services reduce the friction and complexity of implementing robust security controls. For organizations already invested in the AWS ecosystem, these integrated solutions offer compelling advantages – but they also raise important questions about vendor lock-in and multi-cloud strategies.Security vendors without a strong moat or differentiated value proposition should be concerned. As cloud service providers continue to enhance their native security capabilities, the pressure on third-party tools will only intensify. This trend follows closely on the heels of Google's acquisition of Wiz, suggesting that cloud security is becoming an increasingly strategic battleground for the major providers.For security professionals navigating these waters, the proliferation of overlapping security services presents both opportunities and challenges. While AWS continues to simplify implementation, the growing catalog of similar-sounding services can create confusion about which tools to use in which scenarios. As we discuss on the podcast, this appears to reflect AWS's organizational structure as much as customer needs – shipping the org chart rather than truly differentiated services.What's your security strategy in this evolving landscape? Are you embracing native cloud security tools or maintaining investments in third-party solutions? The answers may vary widely depending on your organization's cloud adoption strategy, but one thing is clear – the security vendor ecosystem is transforming before our eyes.Purchase Chris and Tim's new book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Fortnightly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

Podcast with Chris McHenry, VP at Aviatrix, and Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News “Wiz detects. We react and enforce.” — Chris McHenry, Aviatrix In this timely conversation, Doug Green of Technology Reseller News sits down with Chris McHenry, Vice President at Aviatrix, to explore the company's groundbreaking partnership with Wiz—and how the two are working together to solve one of the most urgent problems in enterprise IT: cloud security. Aviatrix is focused on reinventing network security for the cloud era, helping enterprises regain the controls they've lost in the transition from traditional data centers to cloud-native architectures. “CISOs consistently tell us their cloud environments feel less secure than their data centers,” McHenry notes. That's where Aviatrix steps in—by delivering Zero Trust security at the network layer, with cloud-native tools that provide perimeter protection, lateral movement control, and runtime enforcement. The conversation zeroes in on the company's recent integration with Wiz, the cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that recently made headlines with its massive $30 billion acquisition by Google. According to McHenry, the partnership is more than strategic—it's foundational. “They detect attacks, we stop them,” he says, describing a “closed-loop” response system where Wiz identifies high-risk incidents and Aviatrix's Cloud Native Security Fabric automatically reacts in real time, quarantining threats and blocking malicious activity. As AI rapidly redefines the modern enterprise, McHenry explains how Aviatrix is evolving to meet the dual challenge: using AI to both secure cloud environments and enhance the performance of security operations. From custom AI-powered risk analysis to integrations with Microsoft Copilot for Security, the company is pushing innovation at both ends of the spectrum. And for the reseller community, there's even more upside. Aviatrix is proudly channel-first. “We sell almost entirely through the channel,” says McHenry, inviting partners—especially those already working with Wiz—to expand their practices with Aviatrix's complementary offerings. “This is a big opportunity to help your customers modernize cloud security without lifting and shifting legacy firewalls.” The stakes are rising, and this partnership is gaining attention for good reason. “Google's acquisition of Wiz validates just how critical cloud security is,” says McHenry. “And our integration gives organizations an immediate path to both detect and respond to threats—at scale.” This podcast is the first of a two-part series. Stay tuned for part two, where Aviatrix CEO Doug Merritt will dive deeper into the strategic vision shaping the next decade of secure cloud infrastructure. Learn more at: www.aviatrix.com

GDP Script/ Top Stories for June 28th Publish Date: June 28th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, June 28th and Happy Birthday to Toby Maguire I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fireball, possible meteor spotted in sky over Georgia Aurora Theatre, city revamp operational structure of Lawrenceville Arts Center Sonny's BBQ reopening Lawrenceville restaurant damaged by lightning All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fireball, possible meteor spotted in sky over Georgia A fireball streaked across the southeastern sky Thursday, likely a meteorite that fell near Blacksville, Georgia, according to NASA. The event, detected by sensors and satellites, sparked over 100 reports from residents across Georgia, Tennessee, and neighboring states. Witnesses in Cobb County described a bright flash with a smoke trail, and some reported hearing a sonic boom and feeling shaking. The National Weather Service confirmed the fireball was detected on their Global Lightning Mapper, with more data expected. A dashcam photo from South Carolina captured the phenomenon, fueling excitement and curiosity across the region. STORY 2: Aurora Theatre, city revamp operational structure of Lawrenceville Arts Center The Lawrenceville City Council has approved a new agreement with the Aurora Theatre, shifting facility operations of the Lawrenceville Arts Center to the city while keeping Aurora as the creative anchor. Starting July 1, the city will manage rentals and events, easing financial pressure on Aurora, which will focus on productions and education. Aurora will remain the sole tenant, paying discounted rent and maintaining box office and technical services. The partnership aims to boost efficiency, expand programming, and ensure Aurora’s long-term success as it enters its 30th season, featuring productions like *The Wiz* and *In the Heights*. STORY 3: Sonny's BBQ reopening Lawrenceville restaurant damaged by lightning Sonny's BBQ in Lawrenceville is re-opened Thursday, over a year after a lightning strike caused significant fire damage. The ribbon-cutting event at 11 a.m. will honored firefighters from stations 31, 15, 20, and 8 for their efforts in extinguishing the June 2024 fire. The first 68 guests will received free BBQ sauce, and special meal deals, including $19.99 All You Can Eat St. Louis Ribs, was offered to celebrate the grand re-opening. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: DOT's HERO program to resume full service The Georgia Department of Transportation's HERO program will resume 24/7 patrols across metro Atlanta's nearly 400 miles of interstates starting July 1, after reducing hours in 2023 due to staffing shortages. With full staffing restored, HEROs will provide around-the-clock traffic incident clearance, free roadside assistance, and emergency preparedness. Launched in 1994, the program aims to enhance safety and reduce delays. Residents can request HERO assistance via the 511GA app, website, or by dialing 511 hands-free. STORY 5: Rainbow Village Gala Gets New Venue And A Tailgate Twist Rainbow Village, a Duluth nonprofit aiding homeless families for 34 years, is expanding with its "Building Homes, Building Hope" campaign, adding two apartment buildings to house 36 more families by year-end. This fall, its largest fundraiser, the "We Are Family" Gala, is reimagined as the "Tailgate to Tackle Homelessness" Benefit Gala on Oct. 4 at Formetco in Duluth. The casual, football-themed event will feature popular elements like a wine wall, alumni testimonials, and a live auction, alongside new experiences. Sponsorships are available, with Northside Hospital as the presenting sponsor. Break 3: STORY 6: Peachtree Corners launches AI website chat assistant Peachtree Corners has introduced "CurioCity," an AI-powered web chat assistant, to enhance customer service and streamline communication between residents and city staff. Developed in partnership with Citibot, the tool allows residents to access information, report issues, and connect with city departments via the city's website, available 24/7 on desktop and mobile. City officials aim to improve accessibility and transparency, making government services easier to navigate. Peachtree Corners joins five other Georgia cities and several major U.S. cities in adopting Citibot’s AI technology for resident engagement. STORY 7: Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2026 Announced Leadership Gwinnett has announced its Class of 2026, a diverse group of professionals embarking on a nine-month program starting August 2025. For 40 years, Leadership Gwinnett has developed community leaders equipped to address local challenges and drive positive change.

By graduation in May 2026, they’ll be prepared to make a meaningful impact in their communities.

In this episode of Great Leaders UK, we sit down with Alice Carlisle, VP UK&I at Wiz, to uncover how she rose from first-line leader to one of the most sought-after roles in the cybersecurity industry. From taking a struggling ZScaler team and transforming it in under three quarters, to embodying Wiz's values of confidence and humility, Alice's journey is proof that authenticity and unrelenting work ethic drive lasting impact. She delves into the hard lessons of leading through fear-based tactics early in her career, learning the Force Management Playbook at AppDynamics, and then applying it to close LogicMonitor's largest deal ever. Ultimately, we focus on how Alice builds culture, leading by example, caring genuinely for people, and creating internal champions, so that teams win together, not just as individuals. Whether you're scaling a hyper-growth sales org, building a new culture, or simply looking to be a better human in leadership, Alice's playbook is packed with actionable insights on driving growth through customer success and winning with authenticity.
