Tripod? Nope!
Who is excited for the #lunareclipse tonight?
I walked through #Florence once and the whole city felt like an argument I couldn't counter.
It's built from sustainable materials. It's still standing after 2,000 years. And it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Nobody sacrificed comfort or beauty to build it. They just built with what the land could support and what time could hold.
Tom Chi — Google X founding member, inventor of 77 patents, and now a venture capitalist betting on a regenerative economy — had the same experience. It became the seed of his new book, #Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future.
We spent an hour talking about what that means in practice. A few things that stayed with me: 90% of the cost structure of physical businesses already aligns economic and ecological goals. Less material used = lower costs + less extraction. Less energy = lower processing costs + fewer emissions. The economy and the planet are already pointing the same direction. The 5% that isn't aligned is what the lobbyists fight about — which is why that's all we ever hear.
And then the phrase I can't shake: cognitive despoiling. We spent the 20th century strip mining the physical resources of the planet. Tom thinks we're spending the 21st century strip mining the cognitive resources of humanity — burning through attention, trust, and clear thinking the same way we burned through forests and rivers. The damage is invisible. But it compounds.
This is not a doom-and-gloom conversation. It's a design conversation. And the design problem, Tom argues, is solvable.

Sean Martin, CISSP & Marco Ciappelli will be #rsac2026 to cover the event!
Will you be there? 😉
Let's talk about this.
Gartner predicts that by 2027, mass adoption of public LLMs as a replacement for traditional search will drive a 2x increase in PR and "earned media" budgets.
I'm not surprised. And here's why.
Since the invention of the radio, the model never really changed. Free and quality never lived on the same planet.
The brands that understood this early — the ones that invested in real storytelling, authentic voices, and content that actually means something — are about to see that bet pay off in a big way.
LLMs don't run on press releases and keyword stuffing. They run on substance. On context. On the kind of content that takes craft, curiosity, and a genuine point of view to produce.
That's exactly what quality #contentmarketing has always been about. Not chasing algorithms. Not filling space. Telling stories worth telling — and worth finding.
At Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine, Sean Martin, CISSP and I have been doing this for years. The intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society isn't a niche — it's the conversation the world is finally catching up to.
So yes — double those budgets. Just make sure you're spending them on content that actually deserves to be found.
Let's chat https://www.studioc60.com/
- or drop a DM if you wish to schedule a call with us.
See you at the next Event Coverage or anytime you need some real quality content!

There's a particular kind of clarity you get when you talk to someone who spends their days breaking into things for a living. Not with malice — with purpose. John Steigerwald, known to most in the industry simply as "Stigs," co-founded White Knight Labs in 2016 with a mission that sounds almost disarmingly simple: build the best penetration testing team anyone has ever seen, and actually deliver results. Nearly a decade later, the company has grown to 40 people, gone international, and is busier than ever. The question worth asking is: why?
The uncomfortable answer, according to Stigs, is that the fundamental problems haven't changed. At all.
"Honestly, it's still 2015," he said during our most recent conversation on ITSPmagazine's Brand Story series. Not as a metaphor. As a diagnosis. The same misconfigurations, the same weak identity policies, the same unlocked back doors that red teamers were exploiting a decade ago are still wide open today. The apps built in a COVID-era frenzy — pushed out fast, tested never — are now running critical business infrastructure. And the organizations using them are only finding out when something breaks.
What's changed is the surface area. Cloud, AI, Microsoft 365, vibe-coded production apps — each new layer of technology gets adopted at speed, and each one arrives carrying the same original sin: no one turned on the basics. Stigs used Microsoft 365 as a pointed example. Millions of businesses are running on it with DMARC turned off, default configurations untouched, Copilot layered on top, and not a single CIS Benchmark policy applied. "Every client is vulnerable," he said. "Not just 10% of clients. Every client."
That's a striking statement. It's also, if you've been paying attention to breach headlines, not a surprising one.
The AI angle adds a new and almost darkly comedic wrinkle. Vibe coding — the practice of using AI tools like Cursor or Claude to generate production-ready code at speed — has given entry-level developers intermediate-level output. Which sounds great, until you realize that the AI models many of them leaned on were trained on outdated, sometimes vulnerable data. Stigs described visiting multiple clients with nearly identical security weaknesses, all tracing back to the same ChatGPT-generated setup instructions. "You and your neighbor did the same thing," he told one client. That's not just a funny anecdote. It's a warning about what happens when an entire industry bootstraps its infrastructure from the same flawed source.
And yet, Stigs isn't anti-AI. He uses it every day. He just sees it with the clarity of someone who also finds the holes it leaves behind. His prediction for the near future: a massive wave of secure code review requests, as companies start reckoning with the vibe-coded backlog they've been quietly accumulating. AppSec is about to have a very good year.
Looking forward, White Knight Labs is watching the growing intersection of private sector expertise and government infrastructure testing with particular interest. Critical infrastructure in America, long overdue for rigorous physical and embedded testing, is starting to receive that attention. Stigs and his team are already in the room.
What makes White Knight Labs different isn't just technical skill — it's the ability to communicate what they find in language that actually lands. In an industry full of reports that gather dust, that matters. The best penetration test in the world is useless if no one acts on it.
The door is open. It's been open for years. The question is who you call to finally lock it.

Mamma papera aveva due figlie e con loro amava fare viaggi in posti lontani. Le due paperelle avevano pochi amici, ma andavano spesso in giro. Giocavano nell'aia facendo finta di essere un gruppo e persino il giorno del loro compleanno, la grossa torta se la mangiarono tutta da sole.

Agade: The AI-Powered Wearable Robots That Protect Workers, Not Replace Them
There's something poetic about a technology born to help people with muscular dystrophy finding its second life on factory floors and logistics warehouses.
That's the story of AGADE, an Italian deeptech startup that began as a research project at Politecnico di Milano and evolved into something far more ambitious: a mission to preserve human craftsmanship in an age of automation.
On this Brand Highlight Marco Ciappelli sat down with Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agade, to talk about their journey from healthcare innovation to industrial exoskeletons—and what it was like showcasing their latest product at #CES2026.
Video and Podacast available in the Newlestter Article.
