⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥What if the device quietly recording your daily commute could be turned against you in the time it takes to order a burger? That is not a hypothetical -- it is a demonstrated reality. Alina Tan, Security Architect and Co-Founder of HE&T Security Labs, and George Chen, Security Architect for a large global company, have spent years dissecting the attack surface of connected vehicle peripherals. Their research -- presented at SecTor and Black Hat Asia 2025 -- introduces a novel attack

If you walked RSAC Conference 2026 expecting incremental updates, you left with something very different. Thyaga Vasudevan, EVP, Product at Skyhigh Security, describes this year as unlike any prior conference -- not because of a single announcement, but because the customers asking how to secure agentic AI were the same customers already building and deploying it. The urgency was real, immediate, and universal across organization sizes. The defining theme was agentic security. Vasudevan frames it

**About this episode**What if everything you've been spending on digital marketing isn't an investment — but a tax? Nick Richtsmeier, founder of CultureCraft, joins Marco Ciappelli for a Brand Highlight that cuts straight to the root of why so many organizations feel stuck: not a marketing problem, but an alignment problem. Nick introduces the concept of the Silicon Valley tax — the ongoing cost most organizations pay to platforms that have no real incentive to show them what's working. He

Anthony Cusimano, Director of Solutions Marketing at Object First, joined Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli for a post-RSAC Conference 2026 recap -- and his observations from the show floor offer a window into how the security industry is evolving. One of the most telling details came from just outside the Moscone Center, where a company had set up an AI-free zone: a place for attendees to catch their breath from the wall-to-wall AI messaging dominating the event.That detail points to something

When Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, the headline was the capability: an AI model that found a 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSD and a 17-year-old remote code execution vulnerability in FreeBSD — fully autonomously, no human in the loop after the initial prompt. But the story underneath the capability is a structural one about who gets early intelligence, who sets the disclosure timeline, and what happens to every organization that wasn't in the room.

Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli have been watching this pattern for more than a decade -- and in this short On Location conversation, they turn the camera on themselves and on the problem they built Studio C60 to solve.

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Sean Martin had barely finished his coffee when two separate conversations with CISOs at RSAC 2026 landed the same way: security is not how the business grows, it is how the business stays out of trouble. Compliance drives the tooling. The security team does its job. The business does its job. And the two rarely meet in the middle. That observation kicked off a quick but pointed exchange with Marco Ciappelli on the floor at RSAC, one that quickly moved from the conference center to

The security industry has spent years debating which tools to buy. Impetum is asking a different question: are the tools you already have actually working? Founded by incident responders who saw the same failures across hundreds of breaches, Impetum built the Persistent Purple Team platform to simulate advanced threat actors inside customer environments on a continuous monthly basis -- not as a one-time engagement, but as an ongoing relationship built around real data, custom TTPs, and a measurable

At RSAC Conference 2026, the floor at Moscone Center was buzzing with talk of AI -- but underneath the excitement, a sharper question was forming: are enterprises actually ready to secure the AI systems they are rushing to deploy? Ed Wright, VP of Product Marketing at Menlo Security, joined Sean Martin on-site to dig into exactly that question. With 85 percent of knowledge workers now operating primarily through a browser, Menlo Security has spent 13 years building the infrastructure to protect that

Most enterprise authentication today is still built on passwords or one-time codes -- and neither is phishing-resistant. Alexander Summerer explains that fraud remains the core challenge: attackers intercept credentials in the online channel, and users are burdened with complex password policies that slow them down without making them safer. Swissbit's answer is the iShield Key, a FIDO2-based hardware security key that is plug and play. No passwords to remember, no codes to intercept, and no chance

Most organizations are not cloud-only and, according to Thyaga Vasudevan, EVP, Product at Skyhigh Security, they are unlikely to become cloud-only anytime soon. Legacy on-prem applications, new AI workloads kept inside the firewall, and the growing cost of routing all enterprise traffic through a cloud proxy are pushing organizations toward a hybrid security architecture -- one that needs to enforce consistent policy regardless of where the traffic goes or where the data lives.Skyhigh Security

In the middle of a major incident, security teams face a brutal paradox: the faster things move, the harder it becomes to capture what's actually happening. Cydarm Technologies was built to solve exactly that. Vaughan Shanks, Co-Founder and CEO, describes the platform as a system of record for the SOC -- a purpose-built case management tool that captures who knew what, when, and why, in real time, throughout the lifecycle of an incident. Most of Cydarm's customers sit in government, defense, and

Today, at RSAC Conference 2026, the conversation has shifted to agentic AI -- autonomous systems that browse, click, and transact on behalf of users. For Gosschalk, the Founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, the technology has changed but the challenge is familiar: how do you tell the difference between a legitimate automated actor and a malicious one?Gosschalk explains that the vast

The cybersecurity industry is good at finding problems. What it has struggled with -- for decades -- is fixing them. Sunil Gottumukkala, CEO and Co-Founder of Averlon, calls this the exposure window: the gap between when a vulnerability is discovered and when it is actually resolved. That gap is where real risk lives, and closing it is the founding mission of Averlon. Speaking on location at RSAC Conference 2026, Gottumukkala draws on his experience as a security executive at Salesforce to explain

Security teams have more data than ever -- and less confidence in it. Angelos Kottas, VP of Product and Corporate Marketing at Axonius, opens by sharing a striking finding from the Axonius Actionability Report: 55% of CISOs still run their environments off spreadsheets, and fewer than 20% have daily updates to their asset data. The result is a gap between what organizations think they know and what is actually happening across their digital real estate. Axonius was founded in 2017 after its

Infinidat is a high-end enterprise storage company serving global Fortune 500 organizations and mid-range managed service providers -- and Herzog argues that leaving storage out of a corporate cybersecurity strategy means leaving the largest concentration of enterprise data exposed.
