What Makes A City Smart? The Technology Or The People? | RSA Conference 2020 | With Remi Cohen And Lan Jenson

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Remi Cohen And Lan Jenson

If you are old enough or enjoy "vintage" cartoons, you may be familiar with The Jetsons—a 1960s/1980s TV show about a family living in a futuristic place called Orbit City. The architecture is Googie style, technology is absolutely everywhere, and all homes and businesses are high up in the sky supported by very tall columns. No need, in this conversation, to dig into the possible environmental or societal catastrophe that may have forced this solution. And, let's keep it as a joke about how that, in the year 2020, there is no such city; and why we are not living that life?

There isn’t a single answer, as this is—just like with every other technological topic—both a global conversation that has the common thread of development and well-being of humanity…and a local conversation with as many different angles that are defined by the cultural diversities, various needs, and short/medium-term goals we may find in different parts of the globe.

In this session, we spoke about surveillance, privacy, safety, IoT, resilient ecosystems, education, and the roles of individuals, communities, nonprofit groups, governments, businesses, and all decision-makers that must come together to drive this change. All of this in the interest of those that will ultimately either be damaged or could benefit from the present and future smart city transformation: the citizens.

Diversity's Impact On Security Strategies | With Angel Grant and Chloé Messdaghi.png
Diversity And Inclusion's Impact On Businesses And Security Strategies | RSA Conference 2020 | With Angel Grant And Chloé Messdaghi

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Angel Grant And Chloé Messdaghi

Does your business and security strategy include diversity and inclusion? No? It might be time to go back to the drawing board.

If you are reading this, I am assuming you are human. As a human being, I am also going to think that we share many traits—both physical and behavioral. I am also going to assume that we are very, very different people.

One thing that we tend to forget is that what makes humanity so special is the incredible diversity of which it is made.

In this conversation, we are going to focus on the value of diversity for our industry—cybersecurity—and we will leave the anthropological, sociological, and philosophical discussions for another time, and another place.

Chloé Messdaghi and Angel Grant joined us during RSA Conference to discuss the value of diversity and inclusion as a means to build strong teams, products, and solutions—and to attempt to understand why, at the same time, it represents such a big problem for so many.

If you are interested in understanding why diversity and inclusion are one of the most significant values for your company and your team, how you can make it part of your hiring process, how to leverage it in your day-to-day operations, then this is going to be a conversation worth your time. If you're not interested, you may not get the results otherwise possible.

Either way, stay open-minded and enjoy it.

State of Cyber Education Awareness | With Angel Grant and Andrew Woodward.png
State of Cyber Education Awareness | RSA Conference 2020 | With Angel Grant And Andrew Woodward

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Angel Grant And Andrew Woodward

In this conversation, we discuss the role of education in building the next generation of the workforce for the cybersecurity field and how companies and universities can work together to achieve the same goal. Ultimately with better results.

“Companies are made of people” is an old saying that too often we tend to forget, just as we forget that people also build the technology and are ultimately responsible for the future of this and the CyberSecurity industry. As the Digital Revolution keeps moving forward at an oft-restless pace, the roles are becoming more interconnected and so new careers, new educational programs, and new work backgrounds must include skills not even considered relevant a few years ago.

The talent gap is real but is not just an industry gap; it is also an educational institution gap that can be filled with being creative, open-minded, practical, diversity-oriented programs; educating new generations with a mindset of lifelong learning attitude will also prove valuable.

We discuss this and much more, with our guests. And, as it often happens at ITSPmagazine, this conversation starts and ends with the human element. If you are human, we invite you to listen up, and enjoy!

When Humans and Robots Co-Exist | With Sara Boddy and Jason Elrod.png
When Humans and Robots Co-Exist | RSA Conference 2020 | With Sara Boddy and Jason Elrod

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Sara Boddy and Jason Elrod

Fortunately, for this chat, we have a wide range of experience and wisdom from our guests—Sara Boddy and Jason Elrod—as we can look at the capabilities and risks these technologies bring to the table, coupled with how we will need to adapt to a world where we will share tasks—and associated responsibilities—with things that are not human.

Where do we end up in 5 years? Ten years? Beyond that?

This is not about a robot that can clean the floor; this is about moving towards a society where robotics and AI will enable us to extend our humanity beyond the limits of our current human capabilities. A full-scale deployment is not to close, but robotics and AI are among us as we type, and the big revolution may happen sooner than we are ready.

This is why we need these conversations—many of them.

Intrigued? Yeah, me too—and I was there.

Enjoy.

Who Needs Hackers' Rights? | With Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, Jeff Boothby.png
Who Needs Hackers' Rights? | RSA Conference 2020 | With Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, Jeff Boothby

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, and Jeff Boothby

In today's conversation, we are joined by Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, and Jeff Boothby as we take a direct view into the role and the impact that current laws and a lack of understanding outside of the InfoSec industry can have—and does have—on the ethical hackers' lives… and, ultimately, in our society.

We must recognize that ethical hackers aren't cybercriminals—the work that they do matters. As we look for ways to protect our homes, our cars, the stores where we shop—and we want to have a safe Internet as well—we must come to terms with the reality that hackers are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Not convinced? Have a listen and decide for yourself.

What Do CISOs Dream About | RSA Conference 2020 | With Laz, Deborah Blyth, Nils Puhlmann

Hosts: Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guests: Laz, Deborah Blyth, and Nils Puhlmann

This is a conversation I’ve been dreaming about having for quite a while myself. My dream finally came true as Laz, Deborah Blyth, and Nils Puhlmann—current and former CISOs—joined us to look at the role, their teams, their processes, their technologies, the culture, and so much more.

CISOs are humans too—and they dream just like the rest of us. The question is: what do they dream about? Let’s find out.

As part of our RSA Conference USA 2020 coverage, we hit the road—Marco and Sean made their way to San Francisco to connect with a number of the RSAC organizers, keynote speakers, presenters, panelists, and more. This time by plane.

During these conversations, we got a sneak peek into what they planned to share at the conference as well as a glimpse into their backgrounds and some additional insight on the topics they are passionate about as cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance professionals.

These are the chats — enjoy!

Chats On The Road To RSA Conference USA 2020 | The State Of Affairs In Our Cyber Society | A Conversation With Juliette Kayyem

By Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli

As the former Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, our guest today, Juliette Kayyem, has probably seen some things that most people and organizations would have serious nightmares about. And, to open up our conversation, she tells that she thinks about really scary stuff all the time and now tries to help others identify and reduce the risk of the bad things happening.

If you listen carefully, you will realize that your InfoSec journey doesn’t have to feel like an old, run-down rollercoaster. Listen to this podcast with Juliette to get some insights on what it takes to protect ourselves, our businesses, and our society, as she prepares to take the keynote stage at RSA Conference 2020 with Admiral James Stavridis.

The theme for this year’s RSA Conference, which our podcast guests are going to tell us all about, is one that's right up our alley here on ITSPmagazine—The Human Element.
