It is always an incredibly energizing experience to step away from the executive boardroom and spend time with the next generation of technologists. Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with the students of the Network Engineering Technology Society (NETS) at San Jose State University to talk about the realities of building a career in cybersecurity. Having spent years in the trenches as a healthcare technology and security executive—navigating the complexities of hi

It’s currently 12:00 PM, I am on my cup of coffee, and my terminal is lighting up with successful API calls. I’m writing this directly from a beanbag chair at STAK Space in Oakland, completely immersed in the chaos and brilliance of ClawCamp 2026. I’ve been to a lot of tech workshops, but the energy here today is different. There are no long-winded keynote presentations or theoretical slide decks. The ClawCamp Community and Fetch.ai Innovation Lab folks made the rules clear

#AI  is compressing decades into years—rewriting how companies are built, scaled, and attacked in real time. The early signals are already here: one-person companies generating real $$$, small teams reaching massive scale, and soon, Fortune 100s running with single-digit cybersecurity teams. Cyber unicorns won’t need hundreds of employees... they’ll be built by fewer than ten. As capability compounds, so does risk. The gap between attack velocity and defensive prioritization

The Cyberstarts yearly report synthesizes intelligence from major global research bodies—including Verizon, IBM, Microsoft, and Gartner—alongside a direct survey of 84 senior security leaders to project the threat landscape and enterprise priorities for 2025–2027. The overarching conclusion is that cybersecurity is fundamentally shifting from episodic, human-driven attacks to continuous, machine-speed conflict fueled by artificial intelligence. The Evolving Threat Landscape T

I’ve had a few weeks to digest everything since wrapping up the 35th annual RSA Conference at the Moscone Center, and the insights are still settling in. If the past few years were about bracing for the impact of AI, RSAC 2026 showed us that the dust has settled—and we are now actively building the future on top of it. The official theme this year was "Power of Community,"  and it couldn't have been more fitting. With AI accelerating both cyber risk and cyber defense, it's cl

Just unpacked from an incredible week at the Moscone Center for RSAC 2025. This year’s theme, "Many Voices. One Community." —inspired by the poet Rumi’s quote, "Lamps are different, but light is the same"—perfectly captured the industry's current mood. We are facing an increasingly complex threat landscape fueled by GenAI, and isolated, siloed defenses are officially a liability. Here is what dominated the conversations on the expo floor and in the sandbox: 1. Identity is the

Just landed back home and finally decompressed after a massive week at Moscone for RSAC 2024. If there was one inescapable reality on the expo floor this year, it’s that we are living in the era of the Generative AI arms race. The official theme was "The Art of Possible,"  but it honestly felt more like "The Art of Figuring Out What AI is Actually Doing to Our Networks." Between the endless swag and the sea of vendor pitches, here are my top three takeaways for the year ahead

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, with healthcare and finance being at the forefront of this technological revolution. While the potential benefits of AI integration are immense, so are the risks associated with its implementation. As organizations strive to harness the power of AI, ensuring security and compliance becomes paramount. This blog post explores the critical aspects of securing AI integration in healthcare and finance, providing

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a transformative force across various sectors. However, the adoption of AI in regulated industries, such as healthcare, finance, and pharmaceuticals, presents unique challenges and opportunities. This blog post explores how organizations can effectively navigate these complexities to harness the power of AI while ensuring compliance and ethical standards. Understanding the Landscap

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, legacy businesses face a significant challenge: how to adapt and thrive in an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI). Many established companies, built on traditional models, struggle to integrate modern technologies into their operations. However, embracing AI can lead to remarkable transformations, enhancing efficiency, improving customer experiences, and driving innovation. This blog post explores how legacy busin
