ITSPmagazine, Sean Martin, Marco Ciappelli

Founded in 2015, ITSPmagazine began as a vision for a publication positioned at the critical intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. What started as a written publication has evolved into a comprehensive repository for all their content—podcasts, articles, event coverage, interviews, videos, panels, and everything they create. This is where Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli talk about cybersecurity, technology, society, music, storytelling, branding, conference coverage, and whatever

Show NotesJoe Raiola is President and Artistic Director of Theatre Within, the nonprofit behind the Annual John Lennon Tribute, which he has produced since shortly after Lennon's death in December 1980. What began as an informal community gathering of poets, storytellers, and musicians grieving a neighbor has grown into one of New York City's most significant annual benefit concerts, and the only ongoing John Lennon tribute in North America or Europe officially sanctioned by Yoko Ono.

2026/09/17

Show NotesThe argument over AI in music presents itself as a fight about authenticity. Josh Gilliland reads it as a fight about who holds the gate. The Founder of JG BeatsLab teaches musicians how to fold generative tools into real workflows, and he watches the platforms assemble a definition of legitimacy that has little to do with how a song actually gets made.That definition, as Gilliland describes it, rests on whether an artist tours, sells merchandise, and maintains a social presence.

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Something structural is shifting in how security work gets done. When anyone on a team can stand up a working tool in an afternoon, the constraint stops being capability and starts being coherence. John Linford, Security Portfolio Director at The Open Group, spends his time on exactly that problem, running the Security Forum, the Open Trusted Technology Forum, and the Assured Dependability Work Group, where practitioners from organizations of wildly different sizes argue their way

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥For a full year, agentic AI was the pitch. This year the conversation shifted to whether it holds up once it is actually running in production, against real work. Vendors came armed with customer-sourced numbers rather than concept demos — hours returned per analyst per week, percentages of alerts dispositioned without human review, agreement rates measured against human analyst judgment. Buyers arrived having spent the months since the previous major conference testing products and

2026/09/02

Matt Covington, Senior Vice President of Product at BlackCloak, walks through two features recently added to the member application. The first grew out of a question the concierge team fielded often. Members planning family travel to China or Eastern Europe wanted to know what to expect, how to protect their devices, and how to stay safe. That work now sits inside the app as a travel advisory page. A member types in a destination and the advisory breaks risk into the four categories the intel team

What a company is trying to reach is rarely a certificate. Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners, treats the destination as the opening question rather than the closing one, and the firm orders its own priorities to match. Business owners first, engineers second, compliance and security people third.What does a secure and compliant business actually look like? It looks like whatever lets that business do what it set out to do. For one company it means entering a regulated

Show Notes The premise sounds like a stunt. Five strangers, one room, six hours, one original song. Meanwhile the show's host sits at a keyboard with a text prompt and half an hour. Grégoire Gensollen, Producer and Chief Operating Officer at Tucker Tooley Entertainment, built that episode of Band of Strangers knowing he could not predict the outcome, which is precisely why he made it. Gensollen comes to this from the traditional side of the business. He grew up in Marseille, trained as an industrial

An attacker who wants to reach an executive often goes through the people around them. Family members, assistants, advisors, and caregivers all carry access and standing, and none of them sit inside the corporate directory. Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, describes digital executive protection as work that comes down to an individual and the circle around that individual. What does BlackCloak actually protect? Corporate executives, boards, the C-suite, and their families, across

Kevin Surace, Chief Executive Officer at TokenCore, opens with the attack path he says is doing the most damage right now. A phishing email carries a PDF and no links, so it clears the filters. The domain is one character off from the real one, the site is pixel perfect because AI built both the page and the message, and the employee approves an auth prompt they were already expecting. The code was real and the approval was real. Kevin Surace points out that auth apps and passkeys run over cellular

The company was named to Inc.'s Best Workplaces list in June, and in August it landed on the Inc. 5000 for a second consecutive year, at a higher position than the first. Founder and CEO Chris Pierson points both at the same two groups, the people who build BlackCloak and the clients and members who rely on it.What does a second Inc. 5000 ranking confirm?

The free download the company announced the week before had drawn a strong community reaction, and a hackathon was running alongside the conversation with people downloading Crogl, hacking on it, and competing in challenges.
