Security champions were meant to bridge dev and AppSec—but most programs measure attendance, not outcomes. In this episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin explains why awareness isn’t culture, what research shows about champion success, and how to rebuild AppSec programs that actually reduce risk.
Andrew Morgan joins Sean Martin to unpack the widening cybersecurity gap between large enterprises and resource-strapped organizations. He shares how collaboration, cultural alignment, and practical resilience strategies can help close that divide.
Cybersecurity marketing demands a different playbook. Gianna Whitver and Maria Velasquez, founders of the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, explain why emotional intelligence trumps technical specs when reaching stressed, elusive security buyers—and how CyberMarketingCon 2025 equips marketers with AI tools and timeless strategies for today's saturated market.
Cybercrime has become a full-scale global economy, forcing legitimate businesses to compete with criminals for survival. Former FBI operative and NeXasure National Security Strategist Eric O’Neill joins Sean Martin to explain how preparation, clear strategy, and strong communication can keep companies resilient when—not if—an attack comes.
Journalist Charlotte Henry reveals how streaming transformed entertainment in her new book "Streaming Wars: How Getting Everything We Want Changed Entertainment Forever." From Netflix's rise to the 2023 Hollywood strikes, she examines how we consume media, express ourselves, and the surprising return to "old-fashioned" weekly releases in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
Attackers don’t need to breach production—they’re owning the CI/CD pipeline long before code goes live. Sean Martin unpacks why cloud and build systems remain the weakest links, the data proving it, and what teams can do to restore delivery integrity.
Severino lived in the bell tower on the hill — the one next to the ancient Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.
Every evening, at sunset, he would lock the gate at the base of the entrance stairway and before climbing back up, he would pause to watch Florence color itself amber. And so he did today as well. The tourists had left. Time stopped and silence became sacred again. Through the rusted bars the city stood there motionless — perhaps since forever;with its red roofs, marble facades and the Arno flowing between its stones like a glittering silver ribbon.
Former FBI counterintelligence specialist Eric O'Neill, who caught the most damaging spy in US history, reveals how cyber criminals use traditional espionage techniques to attack us. In his new book "Spies Lies and Cyber Crime," he exposes the $14 trillion cybercrime industry and teaches us to recognize attacks in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
Can machines make music that feels human—without stealing from humans? In this episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli unpack the ethics, creativity, and emotional reality of AI-generated music, challenging each other (and listeners) to rethink what we call art.
Let's explores how generative AI is reshaping music — from training data scraped without permission to the tools being built to detect and defend creative ownership. This episode questions what we might lose when machines generate emotion at scale, and whether human-made music will soon be prized for its imperfection.
AI-driven automation with no-code tools is empowering business teams to move fast—but at what risk? In this episode, Walter Haydock, founder of StackAware, joins Sean Martin to outline the hidden dangers, governance gaps, and practical safeguards every organization needs to understand before letting no-code AI fly free.
Being a strong CISO requires more than technical expertise — it takes context, perspective, and trusted relationships built long before a crisis hits. This article explores what current and aspiring security leaders can do to prepare for the role in a way that truly supports the business.
Tim Brown's job changed overnight. December 11th, he was the CISO at SolarWinds managing security operations. December 12th, he was leading the response to one of the most scrutinized cybersecurity incidents in history.
Empty shelves trigger something primal in us now. We've lived through the panic, the uncertainty, the realization that our food supply isn't as secure as we thought. Amberley Brady hasn't forgotten that feeling, and she's turned it into action.
There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.
Security pioneer HD Moore joins ITSPmagazine at SecTor 2025 to break down which cybersecurity “rules” still matter—and which are dangerously outdated. From password policies to AI vulnerabilities and the hidden risks in our own firewalls, this keynote conversation challenges us to rethink what we take for granted.
Dr. Maya Ackerman, AI researcher and author of "Creative Machines: AI, Art, and Us," challenges our assumptions about artificial intelligence and creativity. She argues that ChatGPT is intentionally limited, that hallucinations are features not bugs, and that we must stop treating AI as an all-knowing oracle in our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.
What happens when systems are built by AI coding tools—but no one fully understands how they work, or what to do when something breaks? This article explores the growing reliance on tools like ChatGPT and Claude for software development, raising open questions about resilience, incident response, and security in a world where “vibe coding” is becoming the norm.

Pieter VanIperen, Chief Information Security and Technology Officer at AlphaSense, shares what it really means to simplify security by focusing on context, value, and relevance—not volume or complexity. This conversation challenges the assumptions vendors make and offers real-world principles that security leaders can use to make better decisions.
