Bruce is here, the garlic took the day off (too young to drink?), and we’re talking about something that’s not science fiction anymore — the idea that your digital self could outlive you.Yeah. Living forever. Or at least… being replicated forever.It starts with a hologram of Princess Leia and ends with people in Japan marrying bots. And in between? There’s a messy, fascinating, unsettling space filled with AI companions, algorithmic flattery, uncanny valley doppelgängers, and the very real possibility that we’re confusing memory with simulation.Bruce brings up Star Trek — of course he does — where Captain Kirk debates a machine version of a long-dead friend who insists he’s still the real deal. Spoiler: Kirk says no. And I get it. But what if that machine knows everything I’ve ever posted, recorded, written, liked, said, or searched? What if it feels like me?Would you want to talk to it?As always, our conversation doesn’t offer a final answer — we’re not here to draw lines in the philosophical sand. We’re here to hold up a mirror and ask: is that reflection still you if it’s built out of pixels and training data?This episode is personal and playful, but also incredibly relevant. Because we’re already building legacies we don’t fully understand. Every photo, every search, every rant, every laugh — it’s all on the record now. Our historical memory is no longer dusty boxes in the attic; it’s a neural net waiting to be queried.So yeah, one day, you might be sipping your espresso while a synthetic version of your late uncle offers you advice, cracks a joke, and asks if you still listen to that one podcast.Just remember what Captain Kirk said: that might look like him, sound like him, even think like him — but it’s not really him.Still… it’s a hell of a conversation.So join Bruce and me. Pull up a virtual stool. It’s Season 2, Episode 3. And no, that laugh you just heard isn’t AI-generated — not yet.⸻Keywords:digital immortality, AI relationships, uncanny valley, chatbot therapy, synthetic identity, Star Trek, brain uploading, holograms, emotional AI, algorithmic intimacy, digital clone, memory simulation, techno-sociology, posthumanism, virtual consciousness, AI ethics, social engineering, digital legacy, artificial friends, future of identitySee You Next TimeYou'll find links to connect with Bruce and explore his incredible contributions in journalism and medicine.

All Aboard the Innovation Express: RSAC 2025 On Track for Cybersecurity’s FutureLet’s face it—RSAC isn’t just a conference anymore. It’s a movement. A ritual. A block party for cybersecurity. And this year, it’s pulling into the station with more tracks than ever before—figuratively and literally.In this On Location episode, we reconnect with Cecilia Murtagh Marinier, Vice President of Innovation and Scholars at RSAC, to dive into what makes the 2025 edition a can’t-miss experience. And as always, Sean and Marco kick things off with a bit of improvisation, some travel jokes, and a whole lot of heart.From the 20th Anniversary of the Innovation Sandbox (with a massive $50M investment boost from Crosspoint Capital) to the growing Early Stage Expo, LaunchPad’s Shark-Tank-style sessions, and the new Investor & Entrepreneur track, RSAC continues to set the stage for cybersecurity’s next big thing.And this year, they’re going bigger—literally. The expansion into the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts brings with it a mind-blowing immersive experience: DARPA’s AI Cyber City, a physically interactive train ride through smart city scenarios, designed to show how cybersecurity touches everything—from water plants to hospitals, satellites to firmware.Add in eight hands-on villages, security scholars programs, coffee-fueled networking zones, and a renewed focus on inclusion, mentorship, and accessibility, and you’ve got something that feels less like an event and more like a living, breathing community.Cecilia also reminds us that RSAC is a place for everyone—from first-timers unsure where to begin to seasoned veterans ready to innovate and invest. It’s about showing up, making a plan (or not), and being open to the unexpected conversations that happen in hallways, lounges, or over espresso in the sandbox village.And if you can’t make it in person? RSAC has made sure that everything is accessible online—600 speakers, 600 vendors, and endless ways to engage, reflect, and be part of the global cybersecurity story.So whether you’re hopping in the car, boarding a flight, or—who knows—riding a miniature DARPA train through Northridge City, one thing’s for sure: RSAC 2025 is going full speed ahead—and we’re bringing you along for the ride.⸻ 📺 FULL VIDEO👉 https://youtu.be/59mW2XNz0CE🧭 EXPLORE RSAC COVERAGE👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac ⸻KEYWORDSRSAC 2025, cybersecurity innovation, DARPA Cyber City, AI in security, startup funding, Innovation Sandbox, LaunchPad, Early Stage Expo, cybersecurity community, security scholars, investor track, immersive tech experiences, smart cities, cyber education, cyber startup pitch, interactive cybersecurity, RSAC sandbox, CTFs, AI-powered defense, infosec industry trends__________________________________Guest: Cecilia Murtagh Marinier | Cybersecurity Advisor - Strategy, Innovation & Scholars at RSA ConferenceHosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverage____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society & Technology stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-and-technology-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, to unpack how the company is reshaping endpoint security through a unique, control-first approach. Rob shares how ThreatLocker is challenging long-held assumptions about trust, visibility, and control in enterprise environments—and why the traditional “trust but verify” model is no longer good enough.From Default Permit to Default DenyThreatLocker’s philosophy centers on a fundamental shift: moving from a default permit posture to a default deny stance. This approach, according to Rob, doesn’t hinder operations—it creates boundaries that allow organizations to function safely and efficiently. It’s not about locking systems down; it’s about granting permissions with precision, so users can operate without even noticing security is present.Product Innovation Driven by Real FeedbackThe conversation highlights how customer input—and CEO Danny Jenkins’ relentless presence at industry events—drives product development. New solutions like Web Control and Patch Management are designed as logical extensions of existing tools, allowing security teams to reduce risk without creating friction for end users. The addition of a software store, suggested by enterprise customers, gives users clarity on what’s approved while reducing IT support tickets.Insights and the Detect DashboardRob also explains how ThreatLocker is unlocking the value of big data. With billions of data points collected every hour, their new Insights platform aggregates and analyzes cross-customer trends to better inform security decisions. Combined with the Detect Dashboard, teams now gain not only visibility but actionable intelligence—supported by polished visuals and streamlined workflows.More Than Just Tech—It’s Peace of MindWhile the technology is impressive, Rob says the most rewarding feedback is simple: “ThreatLocker helps me sleep at night.” For many customers, that level of confidence is priceless. And in unexpected situations—like a blue-screen incident caused by third-party software—ThreatLocker has even been used to mitigate impacts in creative ways.Whether you’re leading a global IT team or managing a growing MSP, this episode will make you think differently about how security fits into your operational strategy. Tune in to hear how ThreatLocker is turning bold ideas into real-world control.Learn more about ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLockerOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/threatlockerrob/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ThreatLocker: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/threatlockerAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

🪐 From Myth to Machine: When Stories Shaped Our Journey to the StarsApril 9, 2025Before humanity launched rockets toward distant planets or placed satellites that quietly orbit our Earth, before telescopes pierced the cosmic veil to reveal distant galaxies, we looked to the night sky armed only with wonder. Beneath starlit skies, humans gathered around fires, weaving myths from scattered constellations. These celestial bodies became our companions—gods, heroes, tricksters—not simply pinpoints of distant light, but storytellers of destiny and reflection.Then came Galileo, a solitary figure who raised a simple tube of lenses skyward and irrevocably altered humanity’s story. His telescope shattered myths, replacing divine portraits with measurable landscapes. Mountains on the moon, moons around Jupiter—Galileo did not silence imagination; instead, he opened a door between wonder and reality, bridging storytelling and science.Yet, even as telescopes multiplied and humanity’s understanding deepened, our dreams kept pace, evolving into vibrant visions and audacious predictions. Writers began to sketch the future with an uncanny precision that blurred fiction and foresight. Jules Verne and H.G. Wells planted the seeds of possibility with lunar voyages and Martian encounters, not as mere entertainment, but as blueprints for what humanity could dare to achieve.As technology accelerated in the twentieth century, our visions became grander, more complex, filled with moral ambiguities and philosophical questions. Isaac Asimov imagined civilizations stretching across galaxies, bound by logic and law, but also warned of humanity’s fragile reliance on machines. Arthur C. Clarke envisioned not just interplanetary travel but the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence. Frank Herbert’s Dune intricately wove ecology, politics, and spirituality into a cosmic tapestry, urging readers to reflect deeply on humanity’s relationship with power and environment.Meanwhile, cinema transformed space narratives from pages to powerful collective experiences. George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry projected humanity’s oldest myths onto the widest canvas imaginable, framing space as a realm not just of exploration but of profound human drama. Star Wars and Star Trek—epics filled with heroism, redemption, and philosophical explorations—became cultural phenomena that informed and inspired generations, molding our collective hopes and cautions about life beyond our planet.Today, we find ourselves not in an imagined future, but in a tangible present shaped by these rich narratives. Private companies and national agencies alike are racing to build orbital stations, lunar outposts, and even laying plans for interplanetary commerce. Space is no longer distant fantasy—it is a critical infrastructure woven deeply into our digital, political, and economic lives.Yet crucial questions linger:What stories do we now tell ourselves about space?Are we still guided by the optimism and cautionary lessons learned from generations of dreamers?Or are we seduced by spectacle, distracted by the headlines, losing sight of the nuanced realities and responsibilities that accompany our cosmic ambitions?The stories we tell about space shape not only our visions of the future but our very journey toward it. Let’s make sure our next chapter is one worth writing.As always, let's keep thinking!— Marco _________________________________________________Join us at ITSPmagazine for a live webinar that separates hype from reality, examining what is achievable today, what remains decades away, and what might still be forever in the realm of fiction.

As the cybersecurity world gears up for RSAC 2025 in San Francisco, we hit the road again—this time with Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, for a pre-event chat packed with insight, community spirit, and some big news.Chris is no stranger to the RSA stage—this year marks his 21st year presenting—and he’s bringing his energy to two powerful sessions. The first, titled “Protecting What Matters: Your Family and Home,” kicks off bright and early on Monday, April 28. It’s not about blinky lights or enterprise networks—it’s about us. The cybersecurity community often talks about protecting organizations, but what about protecting ourselves and our families? Chris will explore how security pros can apply their skills at home, covering identity theft, scams, and home network safety. It’s a refreshing and much-needed call to action that connects the personal and professional.On Wednesday, Chris returns with co-presenter James Shreve for a two-hour Learning Lab, “When Things Go Boom: Supply Chain Risk.” This Chatham House Rule session dives deep into one of today’s most complex challenges: managing third-party risk without stopping the business in its tracks. Participants will step into different roles—board members, CISOs, legal, finance—to engage in a live, collaborative scenario that pushes them to think beyond checklists. Real talk. Real collaboration. And practical takeaways.But that’s not all. BlackCloak is also unveiling its new Digital Executive Protection Framework, designed to help organizations assess and strengthen protections for executives and their families. Chris teases that this framework includes 14 essential tenets that blend physical, digital, and organizational awareness—and he’ll be sitting down with us again at the event to go deeper.With 15–20 BlackCloak team members on site, a full schedule of meetings, events, and community conversations, this year is shaping up to be a milestone for BlackCloak at RSAC. If you’re attending, keep an eye on their LinkedIn page for updates, booking links, and suite details.As Chris says, it’s about lifting our heads, scanning the horizon, and showing up for our community—and our families.Keywords: RSAC2025, Chris Pierson, BlackCloak, cybersecurity, RSA Conference, digital protection, executive protection, supply chain risk, identity theft, privacy, home network security, third-party risk, CISOs, cybersecurity community, digital executive protection framework, GRC, threat intelligence, infosec, personal security, cybersecurity awareness______________________Guest: Chris Pierson, Founder & CEO of BLACKCLOAK | Digital Executive Protection | Concierge Cybersecurity & Privacy Protection . . . in their Personal Lives | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchristopherpierson/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBLACKCLOAK:https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageChris SessionsProtecting What Matters—Your Family & Home https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739369849404001eWtUWhen Things Go Boom!

🎙️✨ From Military-Grade Security to Everyday Protection: A Beachhead Solutions Brand StoryHow does a military-born cybersecurity solution empower MSPs and SMBs in today’s compliance-driven world? Here’s the Beachhead Solutions story.When it comes to cybersecurity, one thing is clear: the Wild West may have lost a “wild,” but it’s still lawless out there. In this ITSPmagazine Brand Story, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down with Cam Roberson of Beachhead Solutions—a company with deep roots in military-grade data protection and a forward-thinking approach to endpoint security.Cam shares how Beachhead Solutions began two decades ago, solving a very real problem for the military: how to instantly and securely destroy sensitive data on compromised devices like laptops in Humvees. Today, that same secure mindset powers a solution designed not just for high-risk environments, but also for businesses of all sizes that need to manage device security and compliance without locking down operations.What sets Beachhead apart? Their philosophy of “trust but verify.” Unlike rigid zero trust models that can frustrate users and slow productivity, Beachhead enables granular access control based on real-time risk conditions—automated and scalable. Their “Risk Responder” technology evaluates behavior and environment to enforce adaptive policies, ensuring protection without constant human oversight.Whether you’re a small business or an enterprise MSP, compliance is no longer optional. Cam discusses the increasing pressure from frameworks like NIST, HIPAA, CMMC, and the FTC Safeguards Rule—regulations that apply across industries and sizes. Beachhead’s cloud-native platform helps companies prepare, adapt, and prove compliance through detailed reporting and control over data access.What’s more, their MSP-first model isn’t just a reseller program. Partners get concierge onboarding, flexible monthly billing, and free internal use of the platform—because they’re part of the supply chain too. With Beachhead, MSPs aren’t just meeting regulatory checkboxes; they’re showing value to clients and securing new business opportunities in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.From USB-stolen “startup kits” to porch-tossed medical laptops, Cam’s anecdotes highlight the real-world chaos that their solution brings order to.Ready to move from wild to wise? Beachhead Solutions has your back.⸻Keywords:endpoint security, data protection, zero trust, risk responder, MSP, SMB security, device control, cybersecurity, compliance, NIST, HIPAA, FTC safeguards, CMMC, supply chain security, secure data wipe, remote access control, encryption, managed services, cloud-native security, Beachhead Solutions, adaptive securityLearn more about BeachHead Solutions : https://itspm.ag/beachhead-solutions-r49eNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more._______________________________________Guest: Cam Roberson 🔗 Cam Roberson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camroberson/ ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Beachhead Solutions: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/beach-head-solutions____________________________Are you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest and HostGuest: George Platsis (AKA DJ Zeus) | Website: https://www.djzeus.com/home.htmlHost: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesIn this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin is joined by George Platsis—known on stage and online as DJ Zeus—for a conversation about the art, the science, and the soul of DJing.DJ Zeus brings a unique perspective to the turntables, shaped by a classical music education, years performing in Toronto’s largest clubs, and a deep appreciation for music that tells a story. From early days making mixtapes on cassette to manipulating multiple turntables live, he shares how his journey started with rock, shifted into dance music, and eventually settled into a world of layered soundscapes and emotional storytelling.From Mixes to SoundtracksDJ Zeus doesn’t just play music—he creates moments. He explains that making a great mix isn’t about throwing popular songs together; it’s about reading the room, responding to energy, and creating a journey. Whether it’s a club performance or a recorded set in Ableton Live, each mix is built like a story—with dynamics, tension, release, and emotion.This philosophy carries through to how he uses technology. Instead of letting it do the work for him, Zeus uses tools like pitch shifting, EQ manipulation, and harmonic mixing to craft something that couldn’t exist without human touch. “If you’re not pushing the technology,” he says, “you’re not adding your own soul to it.”When Technology Meets FeelZeus shares how today’s tools can isolate vocals, remix tracks on the fly, and even keep beats perfectly aligned—but warns that without intuition, timing, and feel, you’re just making playlists. The difference between a DJ and a playlist? Emotion. Surprise. Humanity.He also reflects on two tracks that changed everything: Daft Punk’s One More Time and Cher’s Believe. One brought club music into mainstream pop; the other proved pop could crush in the clubs. Both used vocal manipulation in new ways and redefined the sound of their time.This episode isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about remembering why music matters. DJ Zeus reminds us that great DJing isn’t just what you hear—it’s what you feel.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or placing an ad in the podcast?Sponsorship 👉 https://itspm.ag/annual-sponsorshipAd Placement 👉 https://itspm.ag/podadplcResourcesDJ Zeus Website: https://www.djzeus.com/home.htmlMore From Sean Martin on ITSPmagazineMore from Music Evolves: https://www.seanmartin.com/music-evolves-podcastMusic Evolves on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTRJ5du7hFDXjiugu-uNPtWOn Location with Sean and Marco: https://www.itspmagazine.com/on-locationITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!

In a conversation that sets the tone for this year’s RSA Conference, Steve Wilson, shares a candid look at how AI is intersecting with cybersecurity in real and measurable ways. Wilson, who also leads the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Models project and recently authored a book published by O’Reilly on the topic, brings a multi-layered perspective to a discussion that blends strategy, technology, and organizational behavior.Wilson’s session title at RSA Conference—“Are the Machines Learning, or Are We?”—asks a timely question. Security teams are inundated with data, but without meaningful visibility—defined not just as seeing, but understanding and acting on what you see—confidence in defense capabilities may be misplaced. Wilson references a study conducted with IDC that highlights this very disconnect: organizations feel secure, yet admit they can’t see enough of their environment to justify that confidence.This episode tackles one of the core paradoxes of AI in cybersecurity: it offers the promise of enhanced detection, speed, and insight, but only if applied thoughtfully. Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) aren’t magical fixes, and they struggle with large datasets. But when layered atop refined systems like user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), they can help junior analysts punch above their weight—or even automate early-stage investigations.Wilson doesn’t stop at the tools. He zooms out to the business implications, where visibility, talent shortages, and tech complexity converge. He challenges security leaders to rethink what visibility truly means and to recognize the mounting noise problem. The industry is chasing 40% more CVEs year over year—an unsustainable growth curve that demands better signal-to-noise filtering.At its heart, the episode raises important strategic questions: Are businesses merely offloading thinking to machines?

In this episode, Sam and I talk about growing up in the Midwest, writing from lived experience, and eventually leaping into the rich, complex worlds of Renaissance Italy and 19th-century America.🔍 What makes a story authentic? Where’s the line between historical fact and narrative freedom? And how do you tell stories that resonate across generations, languages, and borders? Sam’s latest book Thy Mother Is A Lioness explores powerful women in a male-dominated world—from Florence to France—and it’s all unfolding exclusively on Substack.But this conversation isn’t just about the past—it’s about the process: What drives a writer to chase the “why”? Why is storytelling a purpose, not just a profession? And how is technology opening new doors for creatives, even those writing about centuries gone by? 👁️‍🗨️ This one goes beyond plotlines and timelines. It’s about identity, purpose, creative freedom—and the future of storytelling itself.__________________________________📝 Keywords: historical fiction, storytelling, Renaissance, Medici family, powerful women in history, writing process, Substack publishing, creative freedom, Midwest America, author interview, book launch_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQvnJ8eHUlVX8AuyhehtexAAre you interested in advertising your brand on ITSPmagazine?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
