I'll be at #infosecurityeurope2026 in London this year for the first time in June, our #Cytidel squad has a stand.
London is good for a rave I hear
Still the weekend, playing some music 🎸 🎶 and...
...still tinking about Infosecurity Europe 😉
So, yesterday I posted about the editorial conversations I'm already booking for #InfosecurityEurope2026 — and the response has been wonderful. Pitches landing, ideas flowing, the kind of corridor energy that makes me love this work.
Here's the other side of what we do at the show:
Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine has covered Infosec since 2018, and we'll be on the ground again with Sean Martin and me June 2–4 at ExCeL London. If your company has a story worth telling — a launch, a piece of research, a perspective that moves past the usual vendor narrative — we have three ways to tell it:
🎤 Event Coverage Sponsorship — full on-location partnership across the three days, with editorial, video, and audience reach
🎙️ On Location Brand Briefing — a focused recorded conversation at the show
🎧 Brand Highlight — a short, 5-minute conversation that gets your story in front of our audience without the long-form commitment
We keep editorial and brand storytelling separate — that's why both work. The editorial conversations stay editorial. The brand stories get told with the same craft, the same care, and the same on-location production quality you'd expect from a media partner who's been doing this for the better part of a decade.
See what that looks like in practice — RSAC 2026 coverage just wrapped, Black Hat is getting busy, and Infosec is already taking shape.

82% of enterprises are running AI agents they don't know about.
That number came out of #RSAC Conference 2026 — and it wasn't the most alarming stat on the table.
Sean Martin sat back down with Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, to unpack what he heard walking the show floor and what the CSA data now makes impossible to ignore: 65% of organizations have already had an AI agent-related incident in the last twelve months. 82% found agents in their environment that nobody authorized. Only 21% have any formal process to retire an agent when it's done.
Discovery alone is not governance. Intent-based enforcement is. That's where this conversation lands — and it's worth your time.
A huge thank you to the team at Token Security for joining Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli on this journey — both on the floor at #RSAC2026 and in the recap. We loved sharing your story and we're looking forward to many more conversations ahead. 🙌
📍 Where are we headed next? Glad you asked: Infosecurity Europe and Black Hat USA — see you there.

After #RSAC Conference 2026, the vendors were louder, the booths were bigger, and the AI claims were everywhere.
So Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli reconnected with Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners, to ask what was actually happening beneath all that noise — and where the conversations that actually matter were taking place.
Mike's read from the floor is simple: the "fog of more" is winning. Not because the technology is bad, but because every vendor is saying nearly the same thing and CISOs are running out of ways to tell them apart.
The real conversations? Not in the keynote halls. They're happening in hallways, at dinners, in closed-door rooms where buyers can finally speak honestly.

Your private AWS VPC isn’t as safe as you think. ☁️🔓
We just released the full recording of our live workshop from Infosecurity Europe 2025.
In this session, our CEO Adrian Furtună and Product Manager Dragoş Sandu bypass the "safety" of a private network to compromise a mock healthcare infrastructure ("SynaptiCare") live on stage.
The attack chain:
1️⃣ Tunneling: Using a VPN Agent to breach the private IP range.
2️⃣ RCE: Escaping a Redis sandbox to get root access.
3️⃣ Exfiltration: Bypassing Next.js auth to dump .env keys.
4️⃣ Compliance: Automating the fix for SOC 2 evidence.
It’s a practical look at automating vulnerability validation behind firewalls.

William Lyne of the UK’s National Crime Agency joins us live at Infosecurity Europe to talk ransomware, AI threats, and the future of cybercrime disruption.
Some of our colleagues were toddlers when Infosecurity Europe first happened - 30 years ago! 😲 But that didn't stop us from celebrating their anniversary with them! 🥳 👇
Both in London and at our HQ, we took this opportunity to relish the feeling of community and purpose.
Information Security Buzz added even more gratitude and excitement by including us in their "Top 10 Coolest Startups at #InfosecurityEurope 2025" article: https://informationsecuritybuzz.com/top-10-coolest-startups-at-infosecurity-europe-2025/
Saying our product has "democratized red teaming, delivered from the cloud" was *beyond* nice! 🤩
A big kudos to the founders, organizers, and everyone we met at the event! This is an experience to which everyone contributes.
