🎉 A new Brand Story is live — this time with eSentire!

We sat down with Dustin Hillard, CTO at #eSentire, for a powerful conversation about #AgenticAI and what it really means to reach human equivalency in security operations.

From decision-making to autonomous action, this isn’t just theory — it’s a real-world look at outcomes when AI is trained and tuned with purpose.

It's one of those rare moments in time when exposing the Yekaterinburg's based Plastika Recording Studio which is the primary advertising and marketing creative supplier for the Conti #Ransomware Gang is the right thing to do. Is it Никита Жаринов, Евгений Самсонов, Ice Costa or W8D8digital? We have it all named researched and properly sorted out.

Rethink, Don’t Just Optimize: A New Philosophy For Intelligent Detection And Response — An ITSPmagazine Webinar With Detecteam

Traditional detection and response is overdue for a rethink. This webinar explores the limits of optimization, the danger of misleading metrics, and a new approach focused on adaptability, behavior-driven signals, and speed. See how Detecteam’s REFLEX Platform helps teams turn weak signals into fast, actionable detections—before attackers have time to move.

Here we go, with another pre-RSAC 2025 Conference Coverage Brand Story!

#QuantumSecurity, Real Problems, and the Unifying Layer Behind It All
A Brand Story with Marc Manzano, General Manager, Cybersecurity Group at SandboxAQ

As we get ready for RSAC 2025, we’re kicking things off with some Brand Story conversation that sets the tone for what’s coming.

In this pre-event episode, SandboxAQ shares how their flagship platform, Active Guard, is reshaping #cybersecurity at the intersection of #AI and #quantum. From cryptographic asset management to non-human identity oversight and automated compliance, it’s all about solving real challenges and building a more secure, interoperable future.

ITSPmagazine's Co-founders Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP sat down with Marc Manzano for a first look at the #technology and thinking behind it — and what you can expect from their presence at RSA Conference 2025.

We’ll reconnect and record with SandboxAQ on location at #RSAC2025 for a deeper dive into this critical conversation.

A special thank you to SandboxAQ for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and supporting this exploration into the future of cybersecurity.
