Redefining Society and Technology Podcast
Marco Ciappelli, ITSPmagazine
Musing On Society, Technology, and Cybersecurity | Hosted by Marco Ciappelli
Let’s face it: the future is now. We live in a hybrid analog-digital society, and it’s time to stop ignoring the profound impact technology has on our lives.
The line between the physical and virtual worlds? It’s no longer real — just a figment of our imagination. We’re constantly juggling convenience, privacy, freedom, security, and even the future of humanity in a precarious balancing act.
There’s no better place than here, and no better time than now, to reflect on our relationship with technology — and redefine what society means in this new age.

They also explore how this AI system would interact and coordinate with human doctors in space."Welcome to the third episode of the High Alert Institute podcast series. In case you missed the previous episodes, we highly recommend that you catch up with them, as we've had some fascinating conversations on the work that the High Alert Institute is doing to help society. In this episode, Marco Ciappelli, Dr. Maurice Ramirez, Allison Sakara, and Sean Martin, will be discussing the work the Institute has been doing with NASA for space healthcare and AI medicine.Their work with NASA started many years ago when the High Alert Institute worked with the government agency for disaster preparedness planning and education. Over time, they were approached by International Space Law experts, who were involved with the International Space Court Foundation, to help with moot courts on space healthcare issues. The Institute's board members and experts were already fans of sci-fi, and this project was a fun and exciting challenge.As they dug deeper, they found that the regulations that have been in place for space healthcare over the last 60 years, based on cruise ship rules, won't work going forward, especially on the Moon or Mars, where there are no regulations or oversight of who is qualified to practice healthcare. They needed an autonomous AI system to provide the guidance and care needed in non-Earth civilizations and habitats.In this episode, Maurice, and Allison discuss their findings, including the need for an algorithmic framework for this AI system, which would be satellite-based and would help regulate and transfer data. They also discuss how this AI system would interact and coordinate with human doctors, who would need to be technical people, working the knobs and pulling the levers on the system as well as understanding how the human body functions.If you're interested in learning more about the relationship between technology and our modern society, we highly recommend that you subscribe to the Redefining Society podcast, hosted by Marco Ciappelli. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the High Alert Institute's work with NASA for space healthcare and AI medicine, and how they're preparing for the future._____________________________ResourcesHigh Alert Institute: highalertinstitute.org____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast_____________________________ResourcesHigh Alert Institute: highalertinstitute.org____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

In this episode, we talk about the Data Divide, which, just like the Digital Divide, has become a social phenomenon that puts underserved and marginalized categories in the unfortunate condition of not taking advance of the Digital Age as they should and could.But pay attention as it is different. So often, when we talk about Data, we discuss the fact that organizations, governments, and companies are taking WAY TOO MUCH DATA, and we need to stop them from doing so. But not all Data is the same. There is the one taken to spy, sell, market everything, and somehow control citizens — depending on where you live and who you are — and there is the “good” data, the one that can help you to stay healthy, get a job, get an education, and overall get you in the societal loop that we all need nowadays to thrive.So, divide, in this case, means that if you are on the wrong side of it, things are getting worst at the same rate that technology gets better. Well, you‘ll get what I mean in this episode of Redefining Society, where we talk about these topics and much more.Tune in, and listen up! _____________________________ResourcesClosing the Data Divide for a More Equitable U.S. Digital Economy: https://www2.datainnovation.org/2022-closing-data-divide.pdfCenter for Data Innovationhttps://datainnovation.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/center-for-data-innovation/https://twitter.com/DataInnovation____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

Walled Internets, Disinformation, Propaganda, And The Mouth Of Truth | A Conversation With Charity Wright | Redefining Society Podcast With Marco Ciappelli
What has become of the ideas and the vision of the World Wide Web? Well, many things have changed since "circa 1993", and amongst many good things, a plethora of unexpected consequences came in the same bag.In this episode of redefining society, we talk with our friend Charity Wright about what is the reality of the internet today when it comes to the many ways that social media have been utilized to spread ideologies, misinformation, propaganda, and, more often than not, lately, pure and unaltered lies. From walled internets controlled by authoritarian countries to the subtitle, and not so subtitle, way to change realities even in free democratic nations, we have gone a long way from that original vision of what the WWW could have been.We are still hopeful that the truth in our societies will ultimately prevail, even if we need to adjust the social contract for the digital age that we are already living. And if worst comes to worst, there is still The Mouth of Truth — see you in Rome!Enjoy! _____________________________GuestCharity WrightThreat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future [@recordedfuture]On Twitter | https://twitter.com/CharityW4CTIOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/cwillhoite/_____________________________Resources_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

Why Has Work-Related Burnout Become Such A Recurring Topic? We Look At Business Culture And The Changes That Could Help | A Follow-Up Conversation With Stacy Thayer Ph.D. | Redefining Society Podcast With Marco Ciappelli
Work is defined as “an activity involving mental or physical effort done to achieve a purpose or result.” Ok, but does it have to suck, being stressful, and burning people out? No! Let’s discuss this.Lately, at least in the cybersecurity and technology industry, talking about burnout has become a common topic. There are talks at conferences, some companies are addressing the issue, and plenty of articles in many newspapers and magazines.It certainly is not a new thing, but why do we talk more about it nowadays, and are we doing enough to address the issue?In this podcast, we welcome back Stacy Thayer and open the conversation to a societal view. It is not just one industry problem but is something that may have deep roots in our society.Join us and let us know your thoughts._____________________________________Here is the link to the first podcast published in the Redefining Cybersecurity Channel:https://redefining-cybersecurity.simplecast.com/episodes/trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-lets-talk-about-burnout-a-conversation-with-stacy-thayer-black-hat-2022-and-def-con-30-las-vegas-event-coverage-redefining-cybersecurity-podcast-with-sean-martin-and-marco-ciappelli About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.____________________________GuestStacy ThayerPh.D, Clinical and Organizational/Business Psychology, Norfolk State University [@Norfolkstate]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacythayer/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/DrStacyThayer____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________ResourcesPrevious Episode: https://itsprad.io/redefining-cybersecurity-74____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

The Growth Of Global Election Disinformation | Role & Method Of Government-Linked Cyber Actors And Its Overall Consequence On Society | A Conversation With Sandra Quincoses | Redefining Society Podcast With Marco Ciappelli
When you find a piece of news circulating on social media that looks suspicious, a bit weird, or even too good to be true, it would be good to refrain from sharing it. But, unfortunately, that is how misinformation goes around on the internet and how sometimes the consequences on our societies can be quite relevant and dangerous. Sharing and amplifying the messages reach is a powerful way to make positive changes happens in our society, but there is always the other side of the coin — misinformation uses the same media, and it may be even more powerful when knowledgeable criminals intentionally manipulate people.Fortunately, some experts are researching and studying this phenomenon, and there are solutions. Still, it requires education, there is not an easy tech button at the moment, and probably there never will be one.Listen to this eye-opening podcast with Dr. Sandra Quincoses and maybe next time, think twice before you share something that may be more than a pretty puppy._____________________________GuestSandra QuincosesSenior Intelligence Analyst - Nisos (@nisos)On Twitter | https://twitter.com/Dr_SandraQOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/sandra-q-284b52191_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcastResources___________________________________Resources:Black Hat USA 2022 Presentationhttps://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/index.html#the-growth-of-global-election-disinformation-the-role-and-methodology-of-government-linked-cyber-actors-27079Colombian Election Disinformation Campaign: The Role of Venezuelan Leftistshttps://nisos.com/blog/colombian-election-disinformation-venezuelan-leftists/____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcast
