When we started recording podcasts, Sean Martin and I put writing on pause for a bit—but now it’s back, not just in our individual newsletters but also in our event coverage. I enjoy writing, and I plan to do even more with my Musings on Society & #Technology newsletter here on LinkedIn.

That said…

Here’s my final article (#4) from the ITSPmagazine Podcasts coverage of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust World 2025 (#ZTW25). In this piece, I reflect on the intersection of society, cybersecurity, innovation, and disruption, inspired by the final keynote from Reggie Fils-Aime, former President and COO of #Nintendo.

"The Disruptive Edge: Innovation, #Cybersecurity, and the Future of a #ZeroTrust Society."

Throughout our coverage, we tackled the evolution of cyber threats, the dark web, supply chain security, #cybercriminals tactics, and now, in this final piece, we turn our focus to the bigger picture.

From Reggie Fils-Aime’s insights on disciplined, disruptive innovation to Danny Jenkins’ closing words on embedding security into everything we build, the event left us with one key question: Is innovation moving too fast for security to keep up, or are we finally embedding security at the core of progress?

For centuries, innovation was slow. Then came the Industrial Revolution, and today, we live in an era of hyper-acceleration, where disruption isn’t a choice—it’s a given. #AI, #automation, and cybersecurity threats evolve faster than we can regulate or adapt. But is this pace making us stronger, or is security still an afterthought?

🔹 Are we innovating responsibly?
🔹 Are we embedding security into progress?
🔹 Are we disrupting for the right reasons?

Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for bringing us together in Orlando for these critical discussions and to the incredible speakers who shaped our coverage.

As Danny Jenkins put it best:
"Security isn’t a feature you add later—it’s the foundation of everything we build."

🚨 More #ZTW25 coverage from Orlando!

Ever think #ZeroTrust is like an 1800s cash register? A bar owner didn’t trust employees, so he tracked every cent.

#CyberSecurity #ZeroTrust #Tech

Remember 1969? Landing on the Moon, Woodstock, the Birth of the Internet—So Many Hopes and Dreams… And ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles Playing in the Background.

Well, we are talking about the internet and Supply Chain Security here 😅

Here we go:

From Trust to Zero Trust: How the Internet’s Original Vision Became a Global Security Risk

The #internet was built on #trust. The first message sent over ARPANET in 1969 linked #UCLA and #Stanford with the idea of open collaboration, a network designed to connect—not defend. That trust-based foundation worked when networks were small and closed. Today, it has become a critical vulnerability.

Supply chains are no longer just about moving goods—they are digital, global, and deeply embedded in every part of modern life. From the #software updates we install to the #infrastructure that keeps our world running, trust is now the attack surface. And the reality is simple: when trust is exploited, society pays the price.

At #ZeroTrustWorld2025 - aka #ztw25 organized by ThreatLocker - Sean Martin and I were on location to explore this shift. Bradford Bleier delivered a wake-up call on how supply chains have become a #cybersecurity battlegrounds, why trust relationships are the weakest link, and why #ZeroTrust isn’t just an #infsecurity framework—it’s a necessity for the world we live in.

🚨 When a pipeline attack disrupts fuel supply, a ransomware hit leaves grocery shelves empty, or a compromised vendor shuts down hospitals, this isn’t just a cybersecurity issue. It’s a societal issue.

🔍 In my latest article for ITSPmagazine Podcasts' Coverage, I break down how we got here, why trust-based #networks no longer work, and what this means for the future of society, technology, and security.

What do you think—can trust still exist in a hyperconnected world? Or is Zero Trust the only way forward?

“From Cyberpunk to Cybercrime: Rethinking the Evolution of #hacking Culture” — inspired by the #ZeroTrustWorld2025 keynote with Hector Monsegur & Chris Tarbell.

From hacking as a rebellious subculture to #cybercrime as organized business—how did we get here? This session made me reflect on how our relationship with the internet has changed, and not for the better.

BUT FIRST #ZTW25... HERE WE GO! 🤘🙂

Sean and I are On Location at Zero Trust World in Orlando, FL—covering the latest in #cybersecurity, #ShadowIT, #ZeroTrust, and a lot more of #infosec goodies. If you’re there, come say hi! If not follow us for the latest and cooles interviews and updates!

Now, let’s talk about the real risk of Shadow IT and why businesses of all sizes need to take it seriously. 🤔

In this Pre-Event episode, we sit down with Ryan Bowman, VP of Solutions Engineering at ThreatLocker, to break down how unauthorized applications are silently creating security gaps, compliance risks, and operational headaches.

From employees using unapproved tools to sensitive data slipping beyond company control, Shadow IT isn’t just an IT nuisance—it’s a serious security challenge.

Ryan shares real-world examples, risk mitigation strategies, and why adopting a Zero Trust approach can help organizations regain control—without killing productivity.
