  • Why AI Needs Context, Not Just Hype | A Conversation With Steve Schlarman, Senior Director, Product Management at Archer | An RSAC Conference 2025 Post-Event Brand Story

    Why AI Needs Context, Not Just Hype | A Conversation With Steve Schlarman, Senior Director, Product Management at Archer | An RSAC Conference 2025 Post-Event Brand Story
    May 21 2025

    In this post-RSAC 2025 Brand Story, Marco Ciappelli catches up with Steve Schlarman, Senior Director of Product Management at Archer, to discuss the evolving intersection of GRC, AI, and business value. From regulatory overload to AI-enhanced policy generation, this conversation explores how meaningful innovation—grounded in real customer needs—is shaping the future of risk and compliance.

    Not All AI Is Created Equal: The Archer Approach

    RSAC 2025 was buzzing with innovation, but for Steve Schlarman and the Archer team, it wasn’t about showing off shiny new toys—it was about proving that AI, when used with purpose and context, can truly enhance the risk and compliance function.

    Steve, Senior Director of Product Management at Archer, breaks down how Archer Evolve and the recent integration of Compliance.ai are helping organizations address regulatory change in a more holistic, automated, and scalable way. With silos still slowing down many companies, the need for tools that actually do something is more urgent than ever.

    From Policy Generation to Risk Narratives

    One of the most practical applications discussed? Using AI not just to detect risk, but to help write better risk statements, control documentation, and even policy language that actually communicates clearly. Steve explains how Archer is focused on closing the loop between data and business impact—translating technical risk outputs into narratives the business can actually act on.

    AI with a Human Touch

    As Marco notes, AI in cybersecurity has moved from hype to hesitation to strategy. Steve is candid: some customers are still on the fence. But when AI is delivered in a contextual way, backed by customer-driven innovation, it becomes a bridge—not a wedge—between people and process. The key is not AI for the sake of AI, but for solving real, grounded problems.

    What’s Next in Risk? Better Conversations

    Looking ahead, Schlarman sees a shift from “no, we can’t” to “yes, and here’s how.” With a better grasp on loss exposure and control costs, the business conversation is changing. AI-powered storytelling and smart interfaces might just help risk teams have their most effective conversations yet.

    From regulatory change to real-time translation of risk data, this is where tech meets trust.

    Building, Breaking, Defending: Inside a Global AppSec Movement | OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Pre-Event Conversation with Avi Douglen | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
    May 15 2025
    At OWASP AppSec Global in Barcelona, the focus is clear: building secure software with and for the community. But it’s not just about code or compliance. As Avi Douglen, OWASP Foundation board member, describes it, this gathering is a “hot tub” experience in contrast to the overwhelming scale of mega conferences. It’s warm, immersive, and welcoming—designed for people who want to contribute, connect, and create.OWASP is more than just another security organization. It’s a community-driven foundation that enables builders, breakers, defenders, and leaders to come together in pursuit of secure product development. This year’s conference reflects that same inclusive energy. Whether you’re a software engineer, architect, DevOps professional, security champion, or product manager, the sessions and networking spaces are built to meet you where you are—and help you grow.Beyond the BuzzwordsUnsurprisingly, AI will have a strong presence this year. But the conversations aren’t limited to hype. Two flagship OWASP projects now focus on AI and LLMs—one on securing applications that use AI, the other on building secure AI systems themselves. Talks will unpack familiar problems in new contexts, like prompt injection mirroring the dynamics of older injection vulnerabilities. In other words: the technology shifts, but the core principles remain relevant.Diverse Tracks, Real ConversationsAttendees can engage across five curated tracks: builders, breakers, defenders, managers & culture, and project showcases. Topics range from threat modeling and DevSecOps to scaling security programs and fostering team culture. A dedicated training program, including hands-on sessions in secure coding and security champions, ensures practical takeaways—not just theory.Plus, the event embraces connection. A newcomer orientation, Women in AppSec gathering, hallway chats, evening socials, and even speed mentoring sessions all contribute to a vibrant, accessible experience where everyone—from seasoned leaders to curious newcomers—can find their place.A Truly Global CommunityWith participants flying in from all corners of the world, OWASP AppSec Global lives up to its name. The conversations, relationships, and tools that emerge from this event ripple far beyond Barcelona. If you build, secure, or manage software, this is one conference where showing up matters—not just for what you’ll learn, but for who you’ll meet.__________________________________Guest: Avi Douglen | Global Board of Directors at OWASP Foundation & Founder and CEO at Bounce Securityhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/avidouglen/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 SponsorsManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8i____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spain____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

  • From Isolation to Collaboration: Rethinking Cyber Resilience for the Real World of Small and Medium Enterprise | Infosecurity Europe 2025 Pre-Event Conversation with Steven Furnell | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

    From Isolation to Collaboration: Rethinking Cyber Resilience for the Real World of Small and Medium Enterprise | Infosecurity Europe 2025 Pre-Event Conversation with Steven Furnell | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
    May 15 2025

    Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to be at a disadvantage when it comes to cybersecurity—not because the risks are unclear, but because the means to address them remain out of reach for many. In this episode, Professor Steven Furnell of the University of Nottingham highlights the real barriers SMEs face and shares the thinking behind a new approach: creating cybersecurity communities of support.

    The research behind this project, supported by the University and its partners, explores how different types of SMEs—micro, small, and medium-sized—struggle with limited time, budget, and expertise. Many rely on third-party service providers, but often don’t have enough cybersecurity knowledge to evaluate what “good” looks like. It’s not just a resource problem—it’s a visibility and literacy problem.

    Furnell emphasizes the potential of automation to lift some of the burden, from automated updates to scheduled malware scans. But he also makes it clear that automated tools can’t fully replace the need for human judgment, especially in scenarios like phishing or social engineering attacks. People still need cybersecurity literacy to recognize and resist threats.

    That’s where the idea of communities of support comes in. Rather than each SME navigating cybersecurity alone, the goal is to create local or sector-based communities where businesses and cybersecurity practitioners can engage in open, non-commercial conversations. These communities would offer SMEs a space to ask questions, share challenges, and exchange practical advice—without pressure, cost, or fear of judgment.

    The initiative isn’t about replacing regulation or mandating compliance. It’s about raising the baseline first. Communities of support can serve as a step toward greater awareness and capability—something that’s especially critical in a world where supply chains are interconnected, and security failures in one small link can ripple outward.

    The message is clear: cybersecurity isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a social one. And it starts by creating room for dialogue, connection, and shared responsibility. Want to know what this model could look like in your community? Tune in to find out.

    The Future Is a Place We Visit, But Never StayMay 9, 2025A Post-RSAC 2025 Reflection on the Kinda Funny and Pretty Weird Ways Society, Technology, and Cybersecurity Intersect, Interact, and Often Simply Ignore Each Other.By Marco Ciappelli | Musing on Society and TechnologyHere we are — once again, back from RSAC. Back from the future. Or at least the version of the future that fits inside a conference badge, a branded tote bag, and a hotel bill that makes you wonder if your wallet just got hacked.San Francisco is still buzzing with innovation — or at least that’s what the hundreds of self-driving cars swarming the city would have you believe. It’s hard to feel like you’re floating into a Jetsons-style future when your shuttle ride is bouncing through potholes that feel more 1984 than 2049.I have to admit, there’s something oddly poetic about hosting a massive cybersecurity event in a city where most attendees would probably rather not be — and yet, here we are. Not for the scenery. Not for the affordability. But because, somehow, for a few intense days, this becomes the place where the future lives.And yes, it sometimes looks like a carnival. There are goats. There are puppies. There are LED-lit booths that could double as rave stages. Is this how cybersecurity sells the feeling of safety now? Warm fuzzies and swag you’ll never use? I’m not sure.But again: here we are.There’s a certain beauty in it. Even the ridiculous bits. Especially the ridiculous bits.Personally, I’m grateful for my press badge — it’s not just a backstage pass; it’s a magical talisman that wards off the pitch-slingers. The power of not having a budget is strong with this one.But let’s set aside the Frankensteins in the expo hall for a moment.Because underneath the spectacle — behind the snacks, the popcorns, the scanners and the sales demos — there is something deeply valuable happening. Something that matters to me. Something that has kept me coming back, year after year, not for the products but for the people. Not for the tech, but for the stories.What RSAC Conference gives us — what all good conferences give us — is a window. A quick glimpse through the curtain at what might be.And sometimes, if you’re lucky and paying attention, that glimpse stays with you long after the lights go down.We have quantum startups talking about cryptographic agility while schools are still banning phones. We have generative AI writing software — code that writes code — while lawmakers print bills that read like they were faxed in from 1992. We have cybersecurity vendors pitching zero trust to rooms full of people still clinging to the fantasy of perimeter defense — not just in networks, but in their thinking.We’re trying to build the future on top of a mindset that refuses to update.That’s the real threat. Not AI and quantum. Not ransomware. Not the next zero-day.It’s the human operating system. It hasn’t been patched in a while.And so I ask myself — what are these conferences for, really?Because yes, of course, they matter.Of course I believe in them — otherwise I wouldn’t be there, recording stories, chasing conversations, sharing a couch and a mic with whoever is bold enough to speak not just about how we fix things, but why we should care at all.But I’m also starting to believe that unless we do something more — unless we act on what we learn, build on what we imagine, challenge what we assume — these gatherings will become time capsules. Beautiful, well-produced, highly caffeinated, blinking, noisy time capsules.We don’t need more predictions. We need more decisions.One of the most compelling conversations I had wasn’t about tech at all. It was about behavior. Human behavior.Dr. Jason Nurse reminded us that most people are not just confused by cybersecurity — they’re afraid of it.They’re tired.They’re overwhelmed.And in their confusion, they become unpredictable. Vulnerable.Not because they don’t care — but because we haven’t built a system that makes it easy to care.That’s a design flaw.Elsewhere, I heard the term “AI security debt.” That one stayed with me.Because it’s not just technical debt anymore. It’s existential.We are creating systems that evolve faster than our ability to understand them — and we’re doing it with the same blind trust we used to install browser toolbars in the ‘90s.“Sure, it seems useful. Click accept.”We’ve never needed collective wisdom more than we do right now.And yet, most of what we build is designed for speed, not wisdom.So what do we do?We pause. We reflect. We resist the urge to just “move on” to the next conference, the next buzzword, the next promised fix.Because the real value of RSAC isn’t in the badge or the swag or the keynotes.It’s in the aftershock.It’s in what we carry forward, what we refuse to forget, what we dare to question even when the conference is over, the blinking booths ...

  • Why We Can’t Completely Trust the Intern (Even If It’s AI) | An RSAC Conference 2025 Conversation with Alex Kreilein and John Sapp Jr. | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

    Why We Can’t Completely Trust the Intern (Even If It’s AI) | An RSAC Conference 2025 Conversation with Alex Kreilein and John Sapp Jr. | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
    May 8 2025
    When artificial intelligence can generate code, write tests, and even simulate threat models, how do we still ensure security? That’s the question John Sapp Jr. and Alex Kreilein examine in this energizing conversation about trust, risk management, and the future of application security.The conversation opens with a critical concern: not just how to adopt AI securely, but how to use it responsibly. Alex underscores the importance of asking a simple question often overlooked—why do you trust this output? That mindset, he argues, is fundamental to building responsible systems, especially when models are generating code or influencing decisions at scale.Their conversation surfaces an emerging gap between automation and assurance. AI tools promise speed and performance, but that speed introduces risk if teams are too quick to assume accuracy or ignore validation. John and Alex discuss this trust gap and how the zero trust mindset—so common in network security—must now apply to AI models and agents, too.They share a key concern: technical debt is back, this time in the form of “AI security debt”—risk accumulating faster than most teams can keep up with. But it’s not all gloom. They highlight real opportunities for security and development teams to reprioritize: moving away from chasing every CVE and toward higher-value work like architecture reviews and resiliency planning.The conversation then shifts to the foundation of true resilience. For Alex, resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about recovery and response. He pushes for embedding threat modeling into unit testing, not just as an afterthought but as part of modern development. John emphasizes traceability and governance across the organization: ensuring the top understands what’s at stake at the bottom, and vice versa.One message is clear: context matters. CVSS scores, AI outputs, scanner alerts—all of it must be interpreted through the lens of business impact. That’s the art of security today.Ready to challenge your assumptions about secure AI and modern AppSec? This episode will make you question what you trust—and how you build.___________Guests: Alex Kreilein, Vice President of Product Security, Qualys | https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexkreilein/John Sapp Jr., Vice President, Information Security & CISO, Texas Mutual Insurance Company | https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbsappjr/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode 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-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesJP Morgan Chase Open Letter: An open letter to third-party suppliers: https://www.jpmorgan.com/technology/technology-blog/open-letter-to-our-suppliersLearn 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-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

  • The Hidden Cost of Closing the Door on Innovation | An RSAC Conference 2025 Conversation with Phillip Miller | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

    The Hidden Cost of Closing the Door on Innovation | An RSAC Conference 2025 Conversation with Phillip Miller | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
    May 7 2025
    In this episode of On Location at RSAC Conference 2025, Phillip Miller—Chief Information Security Officer and founder of Corporal—offers a candid and practical look at the current realities of cybersecurity leadership, innovation ecosystems, and the business-first mindset required to drive effective security outcomes.With a unique background that blends enterprise cybersecurity leadership and hands-on work on his Virginia farm, Miller brings a grounded perspective to the CISO role. Over the past 18 months, he stepped away from a traditional enterprise seat to work directly with startups through his company, advising them on how to align their offerings with the real needs of security teams. His return to a full-time CISO position follows that immersive experience, giving him a renewed sense of what enterprise security leaders are missing when they close themselves off from emerging technology vendors.Shifting the Buying ConversationOne of Miller’s strongest messages is that buying decisions should start with the security team—not just the CISO. Too often, tools are purchased at the top and handed down without enough input from those who will actually use them. Miller stresses that founders who are selling into the enterprise need to solve real problems with real people—and CISOs should invite that dialogue rather than block it.He also encourages CISOs to think beyond the big names. While legacy providers are often the default, marketplace ecosystems (like AWS or GCP) and accelerator programs (such as those run by CrowdStrike) offer curated, credible entry points to newer solutions. These platforms can streamline the validation process while introducing fresh capabilities that legacy tools may lack.Lead With the Business, Not the TechFor Miller, the CISO’s most valuable contribution is helping business leaders understand their own risks—especially the ones they don’t associate with cybersecurity. By starting with “What are your biggest non-cyber risks?” Miller helps organizations connect the dots between core operations and digital exposure.Whether working in manufacturing, retail, or financial services, his approach remains consistent: understand how the business creates value, then align security programs and tooling accordingly. The tech, he reminds us, comes second.Catch the full conversation to hear more on third-party risk, building high-functioning teams, and why peer conversations at conferences like RSAC are essential to the health of the cybersecurity community.___________Guest: Phillip Miller, CISO and founder of Qurple | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pemiller/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode 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-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________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-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

  • Fixing the Detection Disconnect and Rethinking Detection: From Static Rules to Living Signals | A Brand Story with Fred Wilmot from Detecteam | An On Location RSAC Conference 2025 Brand Story

    Fixing the Detection Disconnect and Rethinking Detection: From Static Rules to Living Signals | A Brand Story with Fred Wilmot from Detecteam | An On Location RSAC Conference 2025 Brand Story
    May 7 2025

    Fred Wilmot, CEO and co-founder of Detecteam, and Sebastien Tricaud, CTO and co-founder, bring a candid and critical take on cybersecurity’s detection and response problem. Drawing on their collective experience—from roles at Splunk, Devo, and time spent in defense and offensive operations—they raise a core question: does any of the content, detections, or tooling security teams deploy actually work?

    The Detecteam founders challenge the industry’s obsession with metrics like mean time to detect or respond, pointing out that these often measure operational efficiency—not true risk readiness. Instead, they propose a shift in thinking: stop optimizing broken processes and start creating better ones.

    At the heart of their work is a new approach to detection engineering—one that continuously generates and validates detections based on actual behavior, environmental context, and adversary tactics. It’s about moving away from one-size-fits-all IOCs toward purpose-built, context-aware detections that evolve as threats do.

    Sebastien highlights the absurdity of relying on static, signature-based detection in a world of dynamic threats. Adversaries constantly change tactics, yet detection rules often sit unchanged for months. The platform they’ve built breaks detection down into a testable, iterative process—closing the gap between intel, engineering, and operations. Teams no longer need to rely on hope or external content packs—they can build, test, and validate detections in minutes.

    Fred explains the benefit in terms any CISO can understand: this isn’t just detection—it’s readiness. If a team can build a working detection in under 15 minutes, they beat the average breakout time of many attackers. That’s a tangible advantage, especially when operating with limited personnel.

    This conversation isn’t about a silver bullet or more noise—it’s about clarity. What’s working? What’s not? And how do you know? For organizations seeking real impact in their security operations—not just activity—this episode explores a path forward that’s faster, smarter, and grounded in reality.

  • Simplifying Cybersecurity Operations at Scale: Automation with a Human Touch | A Brand Story with Subo Guha from Stellar Cyber | An On Location RSAC Conference 2025 Brand Story

    Simplifying Cybersecurity Operations at Scale: Automation with a Human Touch | A Brand Story with Subo Guha from Stellar Cyber | An On Location RSAC Conference 2025 Brand Story
    May 7 2025

    In this episode, Subo Guha, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, shares how the company is reshaping cybersecurity operations for managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers. Stellar Cyber’s mission is to simplify security without compromising depth—making advanced cybersecurity capabilities accessible to organizations without enterprise-level resources.

    Subo walks through the foundations of their open XDR platform, which allows customers to retain the endpoint and network tools they already use—such as CrowdStrike or SentinelOne—without being locked into a single ecosystem. This flexibility proves especially valuable to MSSPs managing dozens or hundreds of customers with diverse toolsets, including those that have grown through acquisitions. The platform’s modular sensor technology supports IT, OT, and hybrid environments, offering deep packet inspection, network detection, and even user behavior analytics to flag potential lateral movement or anomalous activity.

    One of the most compelling updates from the conversation is the introduction of their autonomous SOC capability. Subo emphasizes this is not about replacing humans but amplifying their efforts. The platform groups alerts into actionable cases, reducing noise and allowing analysts to respond faster. Built-in machine learning and threat intelligence feeds enrich data as it enters the system, helping determine if something is benign or a real threat.

    The episode also highlights new program launches like Infinity, which enhances business development and peer collaboration for MSSP partners, and their Cybersecurity Alliance, which deepens integration across a wide variety of security tools. These efforts reflect Stellar Cyber’s strong commitment to ecosystem support and customer-centric growth.

    Subo closes by reinforcing the importance of scalability and affordability. Stellar Cyber offers a single platform with unified licensing to help MSSPs grow without adding complexity or cost. It’s a clear statement: powerful security doesn’t need to be out of reach for smaller teams or companies.

    This episode offers a practical view into what it takes to operationalize cybersecurity across diverse environments—and why automation with human collaboration is the path forward.
