🎯 How to Lose a CISO in 10 Words (or Less) | Straight Talk, Not Spin: Black Hat’s Hard Truths | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli

#BlackHat USA 2025 has officially wrapped.

The lights are dimmed. The expo floor is empty.

But Sean and I are still here — standing in front of the iconic Black Hat sign, recording one last session while the hum of the week fades behind us.

This isn’t just a recap. It’s a reflection.

After countless conversations with #CISOs, vendors, and industry leaders, one message stood out:

👉 They’re done with buzzwords.

👉 They’re craving clarity.

👉 They want real solutions — not spin.

In this final podcast (which is also the first we publish so stay tune for all of them next week,) we break down what we heard, what we felt, and what it all means for vendors, marketers, and the #cybersecurity industry at large. We also look ahead to what’s next — including our new Transatlantic Broadcast series ( Rob Black ) and future stops around the world.

The booths are gone. The buzz has quieted. But the stories?

We’re just getting started.

🔍 When #Democracy Meets Data Exploitation: An ITSPmagazine's #BlackHat USA 2025 Pre-Event Coverage Conversation!

How vulnerable is your personal information when you engage with political campaigns? Virginia Tech researchers Alan Michaels and Jared Byers spent five years finding out—and their discoveries should concern every citizen who values #privacy.

🎙️ In this pre-event coverage from Black Hat USA 2025, Sean Martin, CISSP and I explore groundbreaking research that exposes the hidden data economy behind political engagement. Using thousands of fake digital identities across 1,400 real campaigns, this study reveals how personal information flows through political networks—often without your knowledge or consent.

Key revelations include:
Cross-party data sharing that transcends political boundaries
AI-powered persona creation for targeted manipulation
Security vulnerabilities exposing citizen data
The real cost of political participation in the digital age

This isn't about politics—it's about the intersection of #technology, #society, and fundamental privacy rights. As our democratic processes become increasingly digitized, understanding these data practices becomes essential for every citizen.

The research maintains strict political neutrality, letting the data expose uncomfortable truths about how campaigns treat personal information regardless of party affiliation.

NEW by me:

Plastic surgeons often store nude photos of patients with their identity information. When would we call that “negligent?”

Defense counsel for Hankins & Sohn claims that the attack they experienced in February 2023 was "unforeseeable." Was it really?
