Techzine Talks on TourThe browser is the next security frontier: how do we secure it?Browsers have become an endpoint, and have also become an attack vector for attackers. The problem is that your EDR isn't keeping up. In this conversation with Vivek Ramachandran, founder and CEO of SquareX, we dive deep into the emerging world of Browser Detection and Response (BDR) and why it matters for modern security teams.Drawing from his 24 years in cybersecurity, Ramachandran explains why traditional security approaches are failing to protect the browser. The browser has effectively become an application platform rather than just a simple web viewer, so it is important to protect it.

In this conversation with Erik van Buggenhout, responsible for managed security services at NVISO, we delve into the practical challenges that have made outsourcing security operations a necessity rather than just an option for many businesses.Erik shares an analogy that illustrates how we should think about cybersecurity: "It's like the brakes on your Ferrari. It gives you the confidence to accelerate because you know you can stop when needed." This perspective shifts...2025-07-0238 minTechzine TalksHPE en Juniper schikken met Amerikaanse overheid, maar wie is de winnaar?Begin 2024 kondigde HPE de overname van Juniper aan voor 14 miljard dollar. De Amerikaanse Justitie (DoJ) blokkeerde deze deal echter met een rechtszaak. Nu is er een schikking bereikt, maar wie komt er als winnaar uit de bus? HPE moet namelijk InstantOn afsplitsen en verkopen, en de broncode van Juniper Mist moet aan twee partijen onder licentie worden verkocht.In deze aflevering van Techzine Talks bespreken Coen en Sander de overname van Juniper die nu eindelijk lijkt door te gaan. Het enige wat nog nodig is, is goedkeuring van de rechter.

There's the convergence of IT and OT, and the security challenges that brings. In recent years we've seen Private 5G coming up, at least as a topic of conversation if not in actual adoption. Finally, the edge environments of those factories recently fell under the spell of AI too. At Mobile World Congress earlier this year, we talked to Parm Sandhu, Group Vice President of Enterprise Products and Services at NTT Data, about all of these topics. What does Edge AI bring us and is private 5G finally delivering on y...2025-06-2324 minTechzine Talks on TourBehind Cisco's billion-dollar AI investment strategyA little bit of a change of pace this week, as we talk about how big technology companies invest in other companies and what underpins their acquisition strategy. During Cisco Live we had the opportunity to sit down with Derek Idemoto, SVP of Corporate Development and Cisco Investments.

Their input becomes more important. That's good news for CISOs. Or is it? Security leaders haven long been judged and consulted along the technical axis. The (rapid) rise of AI means that dynamic had to change, Curry says. It had and still has an effect on cybersecurity in general that we haven't seen before, according to him. CISOs contribute to strategic discussions more and m...2025-05-1628 minTechzine Talks on TourAI agents have an identity too: how do we secure them?The security landscape is transforming rapidly as AI agents join our workforce, creating an urgent need to rethink how we approach identity protection. When 80% of breaches already stem from compromised identities, how do we secure virtual employees who can't use traditional multi-factor authentication?We sat down with David Bradbury, Chief Security Officer at Okta, to discuss this topic. This is a very important discussion to have, because traditional security approaches fall short when protecting non-human identities. We ask Bradbury what organizations need to do to protect and secure their modern environments better from a...2025-05-1325 minTechzine Talks on TourCyber resilience needs to move beyond 'not if, but when'What if our fundamental approach to security needs rethinking? In this conversation with Tia Hopkins, Chief Cyber Resilience Officer at eSentire, we explore why resilience has become the industry's latest buzzword—and why it demands more than just lip service.One of the mantras Hopkins doesn't particularly care for when it comes to cyber resilience is the "not if, but when" mentality that dominates security discussions every now and again. Her suggestion is to shift more from mere acceptance to acknowledgment. This may sound like a subtle distinction, but is still very powerful. It keeps teams vigilant ra...2025-05-0726 minTechzine Talks on TourCisco wants to use AI to defend AI at machine scaleCisco made a swath of announcements at RSAC 2025 Conference. Unsurprisingly, several of them had something to do with AI. We sat down with Cisco's Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel to have a conversation about where he and Cisco thinks things are going.When we spoke to Patel last year, he was quite optimistic. The use of AI in security solutions was going to mean that the defenders would, at least temporarily, get the upper hand. Between last year and now, a lot has happened, especially in the field of AI. The big question n...2025-05-0125 minTechzine Talks on TourHumans aren't the weakest link, they're a critical security layerSecurity awareness is a thing of the past. Rather, the term and what it stands for are things of the past. It just doesn't cover the actual challenge organizations need to address. We need to be talking about Human Risk. At least, that's what Perry Carpenter, Chief Human Risk Management Strategist at KnowBe4, thinks we should do. We were happy to oblige and learn more about it and ask him all kinds of questions about it too. When Carpenter says "awareness doesn't change behavior," he's not being controversial.
