Resilience, control, and sovereignty are moving to the center of enterprise strategy. Margaret Dawson of @SUSE joins @ashimmy to preview SUSE Con 2026 and explain how this year’s theme, “Shaping Your Resilient Future,” reflects growing demands around security, flexibility, and operational control amid AI disruption, cyber risk, and geopolitical pressure. The conversation also covers SUSE’s composable architecture, digital sovereignty, edge strategy, and upcoming AI announcements. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/29kupW7 #SUSECon #EnterpriseIT #AI

Massachusetts just ruled Section 230 doesn’t protect a platform’s own harmful design — only user content. Who’s liable when the design is the product? 🤔   We don’t just report the news; we tell you what it means. Techstrong Brief - LinkedIn Edition linkedin.com/pulse/techstro…

At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with Greg Clark of @OpenText about the governance gap in agentic AI and Ponemon findings showing compliance challenges are slowing adoption. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/PDodqHW #AI #AIGovernance #Cybersecurity

At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with @aamirlakhani of @Fortinet about zero time to exploit attacks and why defensive AI is becoming essential against AI-driven threats. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/caYK1pE #AI #Cybersecurity #ThreatIntelligence

At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with @eyalbd1 of @IRONSCALES about Phishing 3.0, AI-powered attacks, and why defenders need advanced AI to counter a new generation of breaches that compromise trust. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/wBd8MqE #AI #Cybersecurity #Phishing

Executive protection is becoming a critical part of cybersecurity. At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with @DrChrisPierson of @BlackCloakCyber about AI deepfakes, impersonation attacks, and protecting high-value targets. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/9ZiGiyH #Cybersecurity #AI #Deepfakes

Agentic AI adoption is creating new security blind spots across the enterprise. @ashimmy spoke with Amir Khayat, Co-founder and CEO of @VorlonSecurity, about the growing risk of data exfiltration in agentic AI ecosystems and why visibility into OAuth tokens, third-party integrations, and workflows is becoming critical. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/BiHjjjc #AI #Cybersecurity #AgenticAI

Our CEO @sravish sat down with @ashimmy at @TechstrongTV to talk about how AI is fundamentally reshaping governance, risk, and compliance — moving it from manual, "check-the-box" work to a continuous, automated engine that ties directly to business outcomes. GRC has long been treated as a necessary evil, a cost center that slows teams down and rarely shows up on a revenue slide. That's changing. A few things they dug into: → Why CISOs are finally able to quantify the ROI of security → How continuous control monitoring replaces point-in-time audits → What it looks like when compliance becomes a trust-building, revenue-driving asset, not a liability The organizations winning right now aren't the ones doing more compliance. They're the ones doing smarter compliance. Full interview here: techstrong.tv/videos/intervi… @TrustCloudAI #GRC #Cybersecurity #AI #Security #Trust #CISO

AI-generated code is changing where application security teams need to focus. At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with @StackHawk co-founders @joniklippert and @sgerlach about how the AppSec bottleneck has shifted from finding vulnerabilities to fixing them fast enough to keep pace with modern development. As code volume grows, the discussion centered on why auto-remediation inside the IDE is becoming increasingly important. They also explored how agentic testing can help engineering teams verify and remediate flaws without slowing the CI/CD pipeline. ▶️ Watch the full discussion: buff.ly/qrTmYUB #AppSec #AI #DevSecOps #SecureCoding #CI_CD

Security operations teams are under pressure to move faster while managing fragmented data and increasingly complex workflows. At RSAC 2026, @ashimmy spoke with @IamKKannan, CEO and Co-Founder of @Anvilogic_AISOC, about how the company’s new Blueprints release uses agentic AI to turn security knowledge into automated investigative playbooks. The conversation also explored how a data-agnostic approach can help teams detect, hunt, and remediate threats more efficiently across modern security environments. ▶️ Watch the full discussion: buff.ly/Q2ka2dQ #Cybersecurity #SecurityOperations #AI #ThreatDetection #RSAC

THE TECHSTRONG BRIEF — LINKEDIN EDITION The cyber arms race is over and offense won the code layer. But attackers are operationally lazy — their post-exploitation sequences are repeatable. Is behavioral detection the asymmetric advantage defenders have been ignoring? 🤔   We tackle this in today's Techstrong Brief.
