Mythos: The Emerging Threat Security Teams Can’t Ignore (Ep. 9)

What happens when AI starts finding vulnerabilities faster than security teams can respond? As AI becomes a force multiplier for both defenders and attackers, organizations face a new reality where speed, scale, and decision-making matter more than ever. In this episode, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, are joined by Andrew Desender, Senior Security Consultant at AgileBlue, and Dylan Marcoux, Founder and Principal Consultant at Aurora Cybersecurity. Together, they explore how emerging AI models are accelerating vulnerability discovery, changing how threat actors operate, and creating new leadership challenges for organizations trying to balance security, resilience, and operational continuity. Key Takeaways: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">AI is dramatically accelerating the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities, including weaknesses hidden in long-standing systems.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Threat actors are increasingly using AI for reconnaissance, social engineering, and exploit development, even when AI is not the primary attack driver.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Operational Technology (OT) environments face unique challenges because availability and safety often limit traditional patching approaches.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Organizations should focus on protecting their digital crown jewels through threat modeling and risk-based prioritization.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Security leaders must look beyond patching and build layered defenses through hardening, segmentation, governance, and human expertise.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">And more!</li> </ul> Connect with Tony Pietrocola: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://agileblue.com">AgileBlue</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/agileblue-secops/">LinkedIn: AgileBlue</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@agileblue">YouTube: @agileblue</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonypietrocola/">LinkedIn: Tony Pietrocola</a></li> </ul> Connect with Joe Marquette: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-marquette-1541445/">LinkedIn: Joe Marquette</a></li> </ul> Connect with Andrew Desender: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adesender/">LinkedIn: Andrew Desender</a></li> </ul> Connect with Dylan Marcoux: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://auroracyber.ca/">Aurora Cybersecurity</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmarc0/">LinkedIn: Dylan Marcoux</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-cybersecurity-inc/">LinkedIn: Aurora Cybersecurity</a></li> </ul>

The Business of Cyber Partnerships: How MSPs & MSSPs Can Scale & Stand Out ft. Jason Collins (Ep. 8)

Cybersecurity isn’t just something the IT department handles anymore; it’s become a business issue that leaders across the organization must consider every day. In this episode, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, sit down with Jason Collins, Chief Information Security Officer at Fit Technologies, a 100% employee-owned MSP based in Cleveland, Ohio. They talk about how cybersecurity has changed over the years, from a behind-the-scenes IT function to a major part of business operations and decision-making. Jason shares why MSPs need to be more intentional about how they grow their security capabilities, how AI is accelerating both threats and innovation, and why people still play such a big role in successful phishing attacks. He also talks about the importance of understanding your environment before adopting new AI tools, and why real partnerships matter far more than simply stacking vendors. Key takeaways: <ul> <li>Cybersecurity has shifted from an IT responsibility to a business-wide leadership priority</li> <li>The difference between a vendor and a true partner can completely change security outcomes</li> <li>MSPs must balance operational speed with thoughtful, risk-based security leadership</li> <li>AI is accelerating both cybersecurity innovation and cyber threats at an unprecedented pace</li> <li>Strong asset management and data visibility are foundational before adopting AI tools</li> <li>And more!</li> </ul> Connect with Tony Pietrocola: <ul> <li><a href="https://agileblue.com">AgileBlue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/agileblue-secops/">LinkedIn: AgileBlue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@agileblue">YouTube: @agileblue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonypietrocola/">LinkedIn: Tony Pietrocola</a></li> </ul> Connect with Joe Marquette: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-marquette-1541445/">LinkedIn: Joe Marquette</a></li> </ul> Connect with Jason Collins: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.fittechnologies.com/">FIT Technologies</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="http://linkedin.com/in/jacollin">LinkedIn: Jason Collins</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/fit-technologies/">LinkedIn: FIT Technologies</a></li> </ul>

Women Who Secure the World: Breaking Barriers and Building the Future of Cyber Leadership (Ep. 7)

Most cybersecurity conversations focus on tools and threats. The better ones focus on people, trust, and how leaders actually show up when things go sideways. In this episode, Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and Joe Marquette, CEO and Co-founder, sit down with Becky Cross, Vice President of Client Partnerships at FIT Technologies. They get into how cybersecurity leadership is shifting, what clients actually need in high-pressure moments, and why the way we communicate risk matters just as much as the technology behind it. Becky brings a perspective that’s grounded in real client experience. Less noise, more clarity. Less fear, more trust. And a clear argument for why different perspectives lead to better decisions when it matters most. Key takeaways: <ul> <li>What it looks like to lead with clarity when clients are under pressure</li> <li>How asking better questions changes the outcome of client relationships</li> <li>Where confidence and perception can get misaligned in leadership roles</li> <li>Why diverse teams tend to make stronger, more balanced decisions</li> <li>How representation continues to shape the future of cybersecurity</li> <li>And more!</li> </ul> Connect with Tony Pietrocola: <ul> <li><a href="https://agileblue.com">AgileBlue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/agileblue-secops/">LinkedIn: AgileBlue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@agileblue">YouTube: @agileblue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonypietrocola/">LinkedIn: Tony Pietrocola</a></li> </ul> Connect with Becky Cross: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.fittechnologies.com/">FIT Technologies</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-cross-30856a43/">LinkedIn: Becky Cross</a></li> <li><a href="http://linkedin.com/in/becky-cross-30856a43/">LinkedIn: FIT Technologies</a></li> </ul>
