A Crime Against Time | An Interview with Rik Ferguson | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026
PODCAST EPISODE | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026 On Location With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Adversaries are stealing encrypted data today that they cannot read yet, and storing it until a quantum computer can. Sean Martin sat down with Forescout’s Rik Ferguson to talk about “harvest now, decrypt later,” why Q-Day is closer than the comfortable timelines suggest, and what the decisions you make this year have to do with secrets you thought were safe forever. 📺 Watch | 🎙️ Listen | ITSPmagazine.com Somewhere there is a building full of secrets nobody can read yet. That is not a metaphor. The NSA reportedly keeps a facility for storing encrypted data it cannot currently crack, on the assumption that one day it will. It is patient. It is betting on the future. And it is not the only one placing that bet. When Sean Martin sat down with Rik Ferguson at InfoSecurity Europe, the subject was post-quantum cryptography, which sounds like a problem for physicists and a decade away. Ferguson, VP of Security Intelligence at Forescout and a quarter-century veteran of watching threats arrive ahead of schedule, was there to take that comfort away. His keynote title put it politely: post-quantum is a way off, we can wait, can’t we. The honest version is that we can’t. The attack has a name: harvest now, decrypt later. Adversaries steal encrypted data today, knowing it is useless to them, and store it. They are not waiting because they gave up. They are waiting for the key. When a quantum computer can break the encryption we currently trust, every stockpiled file opens at once. NIST pencils that day in around 2035. Google has suggested 2029. IBM’s first fault-tolerant quantum machine is slated for 2029. Pick any date in that window, then look at the equipment your organization is buying this year and ask how long it will still be running. What Ferguson is really describing is a crime against time. Every breach we know how to investigate has a shape. It happened on a date, the intruder moved through the network, and we trace the damage backward from there. Harvest now, decrypt later erases the date. There is no alarm when the data leaves, because nothing visibly breaks. Your first notice that you were robbed a decade ago is the day the contents are used against you. Sean, who likes to pull these conversations back to the business, named the right precedent: Y2K. We remember it as a joke, the planes that never fell out of the sky. It was a non-event precisely because a great many people did an enormous amount of unglamorous work. Ferguson’s warning is that the opposite is happening now. Few people are doing the work, and that is how a non-event turns into an event. There is an unglamorous question underneath all of this: which of your secrets will still matter in ten years? Encrypting everything harder is not the answer, because not everything is worth defending against a decade-late attack. Session tokens decrypted in 2035 are worthless. Clinical trial data, merger plans, sovereign debt strategy, the legal conversations everyone assumed were private forever, those keep their value, and they are worth a stranger’s patience. Ferguson calls the discipline quantum agility: build the systems now so you can swap the locks later. Easy enough in software. Nearly impossible in a medical device still running Windows XP while a regulator finishes signing off the last version. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry our secrets, whether we want to or not, into a future where the lock on them may not hold. What we have to leave behind is the comfortable belief that encrypted means safe, full stop, forever. Ferguson ends his keynote on an image of a stealth combine harvester, which the AI struggled to draw because nothing like it exists in the training data yet. That is the joke, and also the point. The thing coming for the data is quiet, built to gather, and we have barely pictured it. His next argument, a paper called Assume Autonomy, says it is time to stop assuming breach and start assuming the machines on both sides will run themselves. Sean has already booked the follow-up.

What Burnout Costs the Cybersecurity People Who Keep Us Safe | An Interview with Bronwyn Boyle | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli | From Infosecurity Europe 2026
PODCAST EPISODE | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026 On Location With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Bronwyn Boyle can talk about software vulnerabilities for hours. Talking about her own — the burnout she didn’t recognize until someone named it — turned out to be harder, and more important. We sat down at InfoSecurity Europe to talk about the human cost of guarding the machine, and whether our analog brains were ever built for this. 📺 Watch | 🎙️ Listen | marcociappelli.com I never planned to spend time in cybersecurity. My partner Sean dragged me in, and I arrived with a sociologist’s suspicion and a communication person’s questions, looking for the humans behind the firewalls. For years the field answered me in acronyms and threat charts. Then, at InfoSecurity Europe, Bronwyn Boyle said something that cut straight through all of it. We can talk about vulnerabilities for hours, she told me. We just can’t talk about vulnerability when it hits us. That sentence is the whole story. Bronwyn is the CISO of PPRO, a payments company, and a board member of Cybermindz, a non-profit that exists to look after the mental health of the people who guard everyone else’s. She came to security the long way around, through a degree in classics and philosophy, which may be why she still hears the human note in a room full of machines. A few years ago she was running CISO roles and quietly coming apart, and she had no word for it. She met Peter Coroneos, who founded Cybermindz, heard him describe the symptoms of burnout, and recognized herself in the list. The expert on resilience could not see her own exhaustion from the inside of it. This profession breaks people, and it is not only the hours. Defenders have to be right every time. The attacker needs to be right once. You live with that asymmetry the way you would live beside a fault line, and Bronwyn, the classicist, reaches for the oldest word for it: the Achilles heel, the single unguarded spot that undoes everything around it. Add constant alerts, a culture that treats stress as the cost of entry, and a quiet hero complex that makes asking for help feel like failure, and you build a workforce that is brilliant at protecting systems and hopeless at protecting itself. For years we filed all of that under the job description. This is what you signed up for. Bronwyn’s point, and mine, is that we were wrong, and the bill is finally arriving. Cybermindz has the numbers: most incident responders have reached for mental health support because of the work, and most security chiefs are watching good people walk away over stress. Burnout stopped being a private misfortune and became a line on the risk register. Their answer is almost stubbornly human. At its core is iRest, a protocol the US military built to bring traumatized soldiers back from the edge, now adapted for people who spend their days braced for the next breach. It teaches the nervous system how to climb down from fight-or-flight. Bronwyn calls it getting off the hamster wheel. I would call it remembering you have a body. We keep plugging our slow, analog brains into an always-on machine, then treating the strain as a personal weakness. Ask a human nervous system to run at server speed and it breaks down on schedule. We call that a failing. It is closer to physics. We scenario-test our systems for recovery, and we almost never scenario-test ourselves. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry the care, the thing that pulled most of these people into the work to begin with. We leave behind the lie that the care has to cost you yourself. As Bronwyn put it, you can’t pour from an empty jug. There is more to say about the framework, and I’ll get to it when I sit down with Peter Coroneos. For now, Bronwyn’s links and Cybermindz are below. If you want more of these conversations, the newsletter lives at marcociappelli.com.

When the Threat Moves Daily and the Law Moves in Years | An Interview with James Morris | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026
PODCAST EPISODE | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin — On Location at InfoSecurity Europe 2026 On Location With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli The UK’s threats change by the day. Its laws change over years. Sean Martin sat down with James Morris — former Member of Parliament, now Director of the CSBR — to ask how a government writes cyber policy fast enough to matter, and why “resilience” has quietly stopped being a technical word. 📺 Watch | 🎙️ Listen | https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosecurity-europe-2026-infosec-london-cybersecurity-event-coverage A threat that updates every morning. A legislative process that measures itself in years. Somewhere between those two clocks sits the whole problem of cyber policy, and most of the time we pretend the gap isn’t there. When Sean Martin sat down with James Morris at InfoSecurity Europe, that gap was the quiet subject under everything they discussed. This is Sean’s territory, the place where cybersecurity stops being a lab problem and becomes a business and a political one. Morris knows it as well as anyone. He spent fourteen years as a Member of the UK Parliament, fought five elections, served under five prime ministers, and chaired the cross-party group on cybersecurity before leaving to run the CSBR, an independent policy centre working at the seam between cyber and resilience. What struck me, listening back, is how little of their conversation was actually about technology. The UK has a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill moving through Parliament. It was introduced more than a year ago. It still won’t be operational for the better part of another year. Meanwhile the world it was written for has already moved: AI went mainstream, alliances shifted, and the head of GCHQ began saying out loud the kind of thing intelligence chiefs usually keep behind closed doors. You cannot legislate at that speed, so the government did the only thing a slow system can do when it fears the future. It gave itself the power to act later. More discretion, more designation, more reach from the top. Sensible, maybe. But Morris names the cost, and it is the part I keep turning over. A law written from the top down only works if the people at the bottom believe in it. Otherwise companies perform compliance instead of building resilience, gaming the enforcement regime rather than getting safer. The letter without the spirit. Then there is the word itself. Resilience used to mean power plants and railways, the critical national infrastructure everyone pictures. But when Marks & Spencer and Jaguar Land Rover were knocked sideways by breaches that wouldn’t even fall under the new bill, the definition cracked open. Resilience, Morris argues, is really about the underpinnings of an economy. And almost as an aside, he extends it to the resilience of the political system itself, a system that burns through leaders and demands answers by the next news cycle. That line belongs in a sociology seminar, not a cyber panel. Because the deepest vulnerability he describes is not a zero-day. It is an attention span. We have built institutions optimized for the short term and handed them a problem that only yields to patience. The threat is fast. The fix is slow. Our politics rewards fast. I grew up in a city that took more than a century to finish a single cathedral. Nobody who laid the first stone lived to stand under the dome. That kind of time has gone out of fashion, and cyber resilience is exactly the sort of thing that suffers for its absence. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? Morris offers the practical half of the answer to business owners: stop treating this as an IT task to delegate, move it into the boardroom, rehearse the breach before it happens, and plan for the day the press is on your lawn. The harder half is cultural. We have to relearn patience inside systems built to forget it. Sean’s full conversation with James Morris is linked below, along with the rest of our InfoSecurity Europe coverage. It is worth your time.

Connecting Secure Storage to the Bigger Security Picture | A Brand Highlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn
At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn, joins Sean Martin to reframe where secure storage fits in the security conversation. After roughly four decades building hardware-encrypted drives, Apricorn wants the market to treat storage as a security decision rather than a hardware afterthought. How does a storage device become a security control? Toma points to the device itself: no one reaches the data without the code. Access requires a PIN entered on the drive, and the encrypted vault stays closed to everyone else. The protection travels with the drive and does not depend on the host system. Apricorn builds to FIPS certification requirements, hardens against environmental stress down to the connector, and tests repeatedly so compliance arrives built in. Why does this matter at the macro scale? Toma joined Apricorn three months ago to expand the portfolio and connect storage to the broader security marketplace, from military, government, and aerospace settings to the enterprise. He also hints at new form factors still under wraps. Listen in to hear why Apricorn treats the business and operations behind the product as seriously as the product itself.

Sixty Products, One Engine | A Brand Highlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with VimalRaj Sampathkumar, Head of Technical Operations, UK & Ireland of ManageEngine
At Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, VimalRaj Sampathkumar, Head of Technical Operations for the UK and Ireland at ManageEngine, opens with a sharp observation: the market does not lack tools, it lacks tools that work together. After 16 years with the company, he has watched IT and security teams collect software faster than they can connect it. ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation, builds roughly 60 products across endpoint management, IT operations, service management, and identity and access management. The point is not the count. VimalRaj Sampathkumar explains how tight integration lets those products share data, run automations, and power workflows, so a process like joiner-mover-leaver can be shaped to how each organization actually works instead of forced into a template. That same logic carries into cybersecurity. Customers rarely ask for one feature; they ask how to strengthen their posture and reach resilience. ManageEngine answers with solutions that scale from a single tool to a full suite, backed by flexible licensing and an AI roadmap. It is a look at why consolidation, not collection, is becoming the smarter security strategy. This is a Brand Highlight.

Where Data Sovereignty and Always-On Security Operations Meet | A Brand Spotlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with Bill Peterson, Senior Director of Product Marketing of Sumo Logic
At Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Bill Peterson, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Sumo Logic, joins us to unpack a tension every regulated security team knows well. When an incident hits, the business has to keep running. At the same time, regulators expect sensitive data to stay in region. For a long time, those two demands have pulled in opposite directions. Sumo Logic has spent 15 years as a SaaS platform on AWS, processing roughly four exabytes of data a day for around 2,000 customers. The core promise is speed, driving mean time to resolve as low as possible. Peterson frames it in business terms, because the person signing the check wants to know the return, not the bits and bytes. The news from the show is Sumo Logic availability on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. EU organizations can keep their data in region, handled by EU staff, while still running the full platform for incident response. That turns a painful either/or into a checklist a regulated buyer can complete. Genesys is the first customer live in the sovereign cloud, with payment processor OpenPay preparing to follow. How does this play out for highly regulated industries? Sumo Logic is focused on finance, healthcare, telco, and government, the verticals feeling the most pressure. The path Peterson describes is simple: let Sumo Logic handle incident management, let AWS move and grow the data in region, and check the sovereignty box without giving up operational readiness. Underneath sits a full-featured SIEM and Dojo AI, the agentic approach Sumo Logic launched earlier this year. The goal is not to replace analysts but to keep a human in the loop while handing proven, repetitive work to an agent. Fix one server, confirm the solution, then let an agent patch the other 599 under oversight. A SOC Analyst Agent reaches general availability at Black Hat later this year, alongside an MCP server. On observability, the differentiator is reading both structured and unstructured data without normalizing it first. A zip code is structured; a cryptic web hook error is not. Sumo Logic reads both, which feeds directly into faster time to identify and faster time to resolve. For any leader weighing sovereignty against uptime, Bill Peterson makes a clear case that they can finally live in the same plan. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Measuring Risk Was Never the Point | A Brand Spotlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with Matt Middleton-Leal, Regional Vice President, Northern Europe of Qualys
At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Matt Middleton-Leal, Regional Vice President for Qualys across Northern Europe, joins Sean Martin inside the Risk Operations Center built into the Qualys booth. The premise is blunt: cybersecurity has spent years getting good at measuring risk and almost no time getting good at fixing it. The Risk Operations Center, or ROC, is the Qualys answer to that imbalance. So what is a ROC? It is not a product. Middleton-Leal describes it as an operating model that pulls scattered risk signals together, ranks them by business context and financial impact, and drives them toward remediation. If a SOC looks in the rearview mirror at what already happened, the ROC looks through the windshield at the risk ahead. Why now? Because risk moves at machine speed. In an AI-driven world of frontier models and autonomous agents, Middleton-Leal argues that remediation tied to service desk tickets is already too slow. He shares what happens when a client prepares to deploy tens of thousands of new agents before anyone knows what those agents touch or where their data goes. The example that lands hardest is a number: 62 million risk findings across one client's combined tooling. Middleton-Leal walks through how threat intelligence, business context, and safe exploitability testing collapse that figure to under one percent of fixes that genuinely reduce loss. It is a concrete look at how to prioritize remediation instead of drowning in dashboards. There is a quieter shift underneath it all: financial risk quantification, long reserved for the largest banks, reaching companies that never had the analysts to build it. Working with Richard Seiersen, Chief Risk Technology Officer at Qualys, the company is building ways to answer questions like what a ransomware event would likely cost a business in your sector and region. Middleton-Leal closes with the one place every organization should start, whether they use Qualys or not. This is a Brand Spotlight.

When the Boardroom Asks "Are We Okay?" | A Brand Spotlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with Ian Schenkel, VP Sales, EMEA & APAC of Intel 471
Something has changed at the board level. Recorded in the media room at Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Ian Schenkel, VP Sales, EMEA & APAC of Intel 471, describes directors who no longer take security on faith. After a year of headline breaches from Jaguar Land Rover to Marks and Spencer and the Co-op, leadership wants proof rather than promises. What does the board actually want to know? A straight answer to one question: are we okay? Ian Schenkel starts with geopolitics. Nation-state activity, supply chain exposure, and shifting global markets all shape whether a business can keep running. Threat intelligence becomes the early warning system leaders use to decide where to move and which actors have a history of targeting their industry. The next question gets personal. Does this affect us? Have we already been hit? This is where Intel 471 leans on retroactive threat detection. When new indicators of compromise surface, an analyst can build detection queries in seconds against a SIEM, SOAR tool, SentinelOne, Microsoft, or Palo Alto, then report back to the board with a clear answer. How does intelligence reach the board without getting lost in the weeds? It travels as a story the board can act on. Intel 471 pulls its three core areas, cyber threat intelligence, attack surface management, and threat hunting, into a single report that scales from an executive summary to a detailed account of what was found and neutralized. The stories make it real. During merger rumors, an attacker registered a look-alike domain and emailed employees from it. In another case, Intel 471 warned an organization it did not yet work with about a politically motivated actor that was openly discussing it. The value is the early signal, long before perimeter and endpoint defenses ever engage. Sometimes the right move is not technical at all. It might be briefing executives on targeted ransomware or reminding employees to stay alert against the email that has not arrived yet. The throughline, as Ian Schenkel frames it, is prevention over reaction, and a board finally asking the right questions. This is a Brand Spotlight.
