It is always nice to have a returning guest: Eric O'Neill
... and Sean Martin, CISSP sneaking into the recording session too 🤣 😂
Five years ago—circa—we interviewed Eric about his book "Gray Day: My Undercover Mission to Expose America's First #Cyber Spy," and when PR contacted me to have him on for his second book "Spies Lies and Cyber Crime," I couldn't reply with anything but "Yes, tell Eric I cannot wait!"
He is a very gifted storyteller, and you need to watch or listen to this episode... then get the book, of course.
Here's the short summary. Below are the links to the full episode and the highlights reel. Enjoy!
Former FBI counterintelligence specialist Eric O'Neill, who caught the most damaging spy in US history, reveals how cybercriminals 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.

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.

New Episode with guest Charlotte Henry and her new #book:
STREAMING WARS: How Getting Everything We Want Changed Entertainment Forever
We used to learn who someone was by looking at their record collection.
Walk into their home, scan the #vinyl on the shelves, and you'd know instantly— #Metallica fan, #jazz enthusiast, #Beatles completist.
Media was how we expressed ourselves without saying a word.
That's gone now.
You can't browse someone's #Netflix queue the way you could their DVD collection. Can't judge their #Kindle library like you could scan their bookshelf. Can't see their #Spotify playlist on a first date.
Journalist Charlotte Henry explores this shift—and so much more—in her new book "Streaming Wars: How Getting Everything We Want Changed Entertainment Forever."
In my latest Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast episode, Charlotte and I discuss:
📺 Why the 2023 #Hollywood strikes mark streaming's most symbolic moment 🔄 The paradox: we cut the cord, but we're recreating cable #TV bundles
📊 How Netflix's most-watched content isn't what you think (hint: it's background shows)
🎭 The real economic impact on writers, actors, and below-the-line workers
🤖 Why AI might actually INCREASE the value of human-made work
🎵 From Metallica vs. Napster to today's streaming economy
We're living through a massive media transformation. Charlotte captures this exact moment—before everything changes again.

#HappyWeekend — and happy thinking, too. 🤔 🤖
📚🎙️ The Hybrid Species — When Technology Becomes Human, and Humans Become Technology
A fresh transmission from my Musing On Society and Technology newsletter:
We used to build machines to serve us.
Now we build them to complete us.
So… what happens when the line between us and them disappears?
This is the follow-up to my Robbie piece — where #Asimov made us wonder if trust could be earned by a robot that didn’t even speak.
Well, now the machines do speak. They pretend to understand us. And we pretend they do, too.
But here’s the twist: maybe we’re not just surrounded by machines — maybe we’re slowly becoming one. Or better yet: when carbon and silicon don’t just coexist, but converge… maybe something new is emerging.
A hybrid species.
Not science fiction — just evolution, with a bit of attitude.
No panic. No utopia either. Just me thinking out loud, wondering what’s coming — and whether we’re wise enough to carry the best of ourselves into whatever comes next.
No time to read? Let my AI companion TAPE3 read it to you — it’s got a voice and just enough sass to make it weirdly charming.
👇 Newsletter link and audio version in the comments.
If you find these musings worth your time, share them with someone who likes to think sideways. And follow both my newsletter and podcast — there’s a lot more where this came from. 🤘😬✨
Cheers,
Marco

Virtual Coverage for Australian Information Security Association (AISA) #CyberCon2025 Melbourne | Episode 2: Amberley Brady on Food #Security & #Cybersecurity
"Everyone Is Protecting My Password, But Who Is Protecting My Toilet Paper?" 🤔
Sean Martin, CISSP and I continue our virtual coverage of #AISA #CyberConMelbourne with Amberley Brady, who's asking a question most cybersecurity professionals may have not considered much: who's protecting our #food supply?
Australia produces food for 70 million people. That food moves through autonomous tractors, sensor networks, and supply chain software—critical infrastructure that's largely unprotected. Farmers get paid 40 cents per kilo while consumers pay $2.50. The markup? Invisible. The vulnerabilities? Everywhere.
Amberley built a platform to expose pricing transparency and advocate for an "Essential Nine" in Australia's cybersecurity framework—adding the human firewall to the technical Essential Eight.
She's presenting twice at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17):
📅 "Don't Outsource Your Thinking"
📅 "Everyone is Protecting My #Password, But No One's Protecting My Toilet Paper"

From Broadcasting to AI Agents: Mark Smith on Technology’s 100-Year Evolution at IBC 2025 Amsterdam
An On Location Event Coverage Podcast | With Sean Martin, CISSP & me… actually, this one was just me 😅
🎙️ Preview: IBC - International Broadcasting Convention
I just had a fantastic conversation with Mark Smith from the IBC board. Getting the inside scoop before the September 12–15 event in Amsterdam was fascinating.
Did you know #IBC started in 1967 in Brighton? This year it’s celebrating #television’s 100th birthday — while showcasing the future with #AI and 5G innovation.
Highlights coming to IBC:
→ 1,350 exhibitors across 14 halls — from satellites to AI breakthroughs
→ Future Tech Hub (Hall 14): blockchain, virtual production, and Google’s first IBC Hackfest
→ Accelerator Program: ultra-low-latency streaming + content provenance solutionsWhat stood out most: this isn’t just another trade show. It’s where the media industry is actively redefining itself in our hybrid #Analog + #Digital #society.
On this topic... 📅 We’re also building our 2025–2026 event calendar and looking for exciting #technology + #cybersecurity conferences worldwide (in-person or remote).

🎯 FINAL POST FROM THE FLOOR: #BlackHatUSA 2025 Coverage!
Access Roulette: How to Stop Betting Your Security on Standing Privileges
This wraps up our on-location content from Las Vegas!
Next week we'll reconnect with our main event sponsors— BLACKCLOAK, Dropzone AI, Stellar Cyber, and Akamai Technologies—to bring you their post-event insights and feedback. Of course ThreatLocker's recap was already captured on the floor and published earlier today. Plus, watch for our closing reflection articles from me Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP!
Our final floor conversation comes thanks to our friends at Apono 🙏
Modern enterprises are gambling with security every day. Static permissions, manual approvals, and periodic audits create "privilege creep" that turns every over-privileged account into a potential breach waiting to happen.
At #BlackHat USA 2025, Ofir Stein from #Apono reveals how to break this dangerous cycle.
The stakes keep rising:
• Non-human identities (service accounts, #APIs, #AIagents) retain high-level privileges long after tasks complete
• Organizations discover risks during audits but lack scalable remediation
• #Business teams need rapid access while security teams battle expanding #attacksurfacesApono's Zero Standing Privilege model:
• Removes ALL permanent access by default
• Grants access dynamically based on business context
• Automatically revokes permissions when tasks complete
• Works for both human AND non-human identities
• Integrates with existing #identity providers—no rip and replaceKey capabilities:
• Context-based policy management aligned with business objectives
• Continuous discovery of identities, privileges
• Automated remediation of unnecessary privileges
• Real-time anomaly detection feeding #SOC workflows
• Scalable across centralized and decentralized environmentsThe result?
Engineers gain control over their access (building trust), security teams maintain tight governance, and organizations can finally stop betting their security on standing privileges.📺 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/ciBsH84PVQU

Lo-Fi Music and the Art of Imperfection — When Technical Limitations Become Creative Liberation
A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter
Reflections from Our Hybrid #Analog-Digital Society: For years on the Redefining Society and Technology Podcast, I've explored a central premise: we live in a hybrid -digital society where the line between physical and virtual has dissolved into something more complex, more nuanced, and infinitely more human than we often acknowledge.
Introducing a New Series: Analog Minds in a Digital World:
Part II: Lo-Fi #Music and the #Art of Imperfection — When Technical Limitations Become #Creative Liberation
"Today, in our age of infinite digital possibility, we see a curious phenomenon: young creators deliberately adding analog imperfections to their perfectly #digital recordings. They're simulating tape hiss, vinyl scratches, and tube saturation using software plugins. We have the #technology to create flawless audio, yet we choose to add flaws back in. What does this tell us about our relationship with technology and #authenticity?"

🎯 FINAL Pre-Event Interview Alert! Next Stop: Las Vegas!
This is it—our last #BlackHat USA 2025 conversation before we hit the road to Vegas (and who knows, maybe we'll broadcast from a desert pit stop along the way! 🚗)
But what a way to close out our pre-event coverage...
When Constitutional Law Meets #Cybersecurity: A Critical Conversation We All Need to Hear
What happens when we stop seeing government surveillance as a necessary evil and start recognizing it as a primary threat to privacy?
Jennifer Granick, ACLU's Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel, challenges us to rethink everything we assume about digital #privacy in her upcoming #BlackHatUSA 2025 keynote.
In this preview conversation with Marco Ciappelli, Jennifer makes a compelling case:
✅ The Fourth Amendment hasn't kept pace with technology
✅ Legal reform is too slow—so technologists must lead
✅ Privacy isn't just a legal problem—it's a design challenge
✅ We need a new #threatmodel that puts unchecked surveillance at the centerFrom defending hackers since #DEFCON 3 to fighting surveillance overreach at the ACLU, Jennifer brings decades of frontline experience to this critical discussion.
The key takeaway? While lawmakers debate, engineers and designers hold the power to protect civil liberties through encryption, data minimization, and privacy-first architecture.
This isn't just another privacy talk—it's a call to action for every technologist, policymaker, and privacy advocate.

🖍️ Mythology, empathy, and cartooning collide in this new episode of Audio Signals Podcast.
I mostly post about #Technology, #Society & #Cybersecurity — but by now, you probably know I’m also obsessively passionate about storytelling in every form.
So, here you go — a new episode from my Audio Signals Podcast, where I muse on #stories, #storytelling, and #storytellers.
🖍️ What happens when you mix mythological gods, emotional storytelling, and a #Peanuts illustrator who teaches empathy through comic strips?
You get #Mythtickle — and you get Justin Thompson, whom I’m honored to host on the podcast for the second time!
In this latest conversation, Justin returns to talk about his original comic strip, how he teaches compassion through art, and the creative freedom (and chaos) of building your own mythological universe.
We also touch on:
• Teaching kids in Brooklyn and Tanzania
• The upcoming Peanuts version of #Clue (yes, really)
• And how his book If I Gave the World My Blanket is being adapted into a musical play for children📺 Watch:

As you probably know by now, Sean Martin, CISSP and I are not going to be in Melbourne for #CyberCon with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) this year... which really sucks as we had a great time there in 2024 - We met amazing people, created great content, and truly miss sharing quality time with the #cybersecurity community Down Under!
But this isn't stopping us from being virtually there by reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones while covering the event remotely.
So here's my conversation with the one and only Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) talking about her upcoming session: "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online" at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17, 2025).
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 JJ wants to change that conversation entirely.
Watch the teaser, then dive into the full episode:

🎯 FINAL POST FROM THE FLOOR: #BlackHatUSA 2025 Coverage!
Access Roulette: How to Stop Betting Your Security on Standing Privileges
This wraps up our on-location content from Las Vegas!
Next week we'll reconnect with our main event sponsors— BLACKCLOAK, Dropzone AI, Stellar Cyber, and Akamai Technologies—to bring you their post-event insights and feedback. Of course ThreatLocker's recap was already captured on the floor and published earlier today. Plus, watch for our closing reflection articles from me Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP!
Our final floor conversation comes thanks to our friends at Apono 🙏
Modern enterprises are gambling with security every day. Static permissions, manual approvals, and periodic audits create "privilege creep" that turns every over-privileged account into a potential breach waiting to happen.
At #BlackHat USA 2025, Ofir Stein from #Apono reveals how to break this dangerous cycle.
The stakes keep rising:
• Non-human identities (service accounts, #APIs, #AIagents) retain high-level privileges long after tasks complete
• Organizations discover risks during audits but lack scalable remediation
• #Business teams need rapid access while security teams battle expanding #attacksurfacesApono's Zero Standing Privilege model:
• Removes ALL permanent access by default
• Grants access dynamically based on business context
• Automatically revokes permissions when tasks complete
• Works for both human AND non-human identities
• Integrates with existing #identity providers—no rip and replaceKey capabilities:
• Context-based policy management aligned with business objectives
• Continuous discovery of identities, privileges
• Automated remediation of unnecessary privileges
• Real-time anomaly detection feeding #SOC workflows
• Scalable across centralized and decentralized environmentsThe result?
Engineers gain control over their access (building trust), security teams maintain tight governance, and organizations can finally stop betting their security on standing privileges.📺 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/ciBsH84PVQU

Creative work is subjective and lacks fixed standards. The important lesson is to persist and always give your best. Embrace your unique style, be open to growth, and use each experience as a stepping stone in your creative journey.
This, below, is longer than a standard quote, but my friend Dr. Susan Birne-Stone PhD, LCSW shared it with me today and I want to share with all of you.
It will explain much better and in a more beautiful way what I wrote at the beginning of this post.
Enjoy it.
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me.
All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.
For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.
Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know it's normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.
And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met.
It’s gonna take awhile.
It’s normal to take awhile.
You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
― Ira Glass

Here is my new newsletter article! 🙂
Why the Transistor Radio Was Actually the First Smartphone (And What That Teaches Us About Digital Transformation)
Before we had smartphones creating personal media bubbles, teenagers in the 1950s were doing the exact same thing with transistor radios.
They'd escape to their bedrooms, tune into rock and roll (that parents hated), and discover pirate radio stations broadcasting rebellion from ships offshore.
Sound familiar?
This isn't just tech nostalgia. It's a pattern that reveals something crucial about how technologies actually evolve—and why our current AI fears might be missing the point.
Radio didn't kill newspapers. TV didn't kill radio. The internet didn't kill any of them. They all found new ways to matter.
As Marshall McLuhan said: "The medium is the message." To understand what's happening in our digital age, we need to understand the media themselves—not just the content they carry.
New newsletter exploring this pattern and what it means for our hybrid analog-digital future 👇
What do you think? Are we repeating history or writing something entirely new?

What's in the news this #weekend? This is! 😉
The #AgenticAI Myth in #Cybersecurity and the #Humanity We Risk When We Stop Deciding for Ourselves
Reflections from #BlackHat USA 2025 on the Latest #Tech Salvation Narrative
🤖 What happens to a society that delegates its judgment to machines?
Walking Black Hat this year, I was struck not by the #technology itself, but by the #mythology we're building around it. Agentic #AI promises to think for us, decide for us, act for us. The #marketing speaks of liberation from human fallibility.
But here's what the ancient Greeks understood that we seem to have forgotten: every artificial creation carries within it the seeds of its own limitations—and ours.
We're not just automating workflows. We're reshaping the fundamental social structures that define human competence and authority. When we delegate judgment itself to artificial agents, we risk creating social systems where human thinking becomes an anomaly rather than the norm.
E.M. Forster saw this coming in 1909. In "The Machine Stops," humanity becomes so dependent on automated systems that when the machine finally breaks down, civilization collapses because no one remembers how to function without it.
The question isn't whether these artificial agents can replace human decision-making—it's whether we want to live in a society where they do.
👉 Read my full article below and please share your opinions in the comments!
Are we evolving our humanity or automating it away? What's your take?
But wait—there's more. My next #BlackHat2025 piece is going to tackle something that's been eating at me for years: the absurd theater of #cybersecuritymarketing. The superhero costumes, the merch, the promises, the puppies, the cappuccino -- wait, that's actually ok! 😬 -- and the lies told with such confidence that you'd think #CISOs were born yesterday.
Spoiler alert: they weren't. And they're not buying it. 🤔
