I finally got around to writing a follow-up to my previous blog post that was triggered by Patrick Opet's open letter, regarding the tradeoff organizations make: sacrificing foundational security for business velocity.

In this post, fueled by conversations I had at Identiverse, I explore how we can change that, by trying to answer the real question: Why aren’t we building secure-by-design systems, even when we know how? Spoiler: It's about incentives.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Always a pleasure spending time with Rob Allen and the whole ThreatLocker team - virtually or in person (better!!!) 😬

🎙️✨ Why Simplicity Might Be the Missing Ingredient in Your #ZeroTrust Strategy | An ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Rob Allen from ThreatLocker | #RSAC2025

At #RSAC Conference 2025, the ThreatLocker booth didn’t need flashing lights or gimmicks. Just a live PowerShell attack, a rubber ducky, and a crowd watching real protection in action. That’s how you cut through the noise.

In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli talk with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, about why Zero Trust doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective. Instead of piling on tools, Rob explains why proactive control, vendor consolidation, and human connection are the real differentiators.

🙌 Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for sponsoring our RSA Conference 2025 coverage and supporting meaningful conversations like this one.

🎙️✨ Why #Community Could Be the Strongest Defense in #Cybersecurity
An ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Rob Clyde from ISACA | #RSAC2025

In the rush to cover #AI, #cryptography, and quantum threats, it’s easy to forget that the cybersecurity profession is—above all else—human. That’s exactly why this conversation with Rob Clyde, Board Director at ISACA, stood out during Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli's post-event reflections from #RSAC Conference 2025.

This Brand Story goes beyond the headlines, diving into the real issues affecting our industry: burnout, mental health, the shrinking sense of community, and the looming threat of quantum risk. Rob shares why ISACA continues to prioritize connection, education, and support at every stage of a professional’s journey.

🙌 A big thank you to ISACA for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage. Your support helped make conversations like this possible.
