In this episode, we dive into the seven key cybersecurity predictions for 2025—insights that will define the next era of digital defense. As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, integrate AI-driven security solutions, and navigate increasingly complex supply chains, the cyber threat landscape is evolving unprecedentedly.Q&A1:37Q1Now you're coming to us not as a CSO, but with a unique perspective. Why don't you share that with the audience? 2:16Q2What role do you see Gen AI playing in cyber threats? What do you see and hear?3:56Q3How do you go about helping provide policies and protection for something that's brand new? How do you even start? 6:02Prediction 1:The influence of Gen AI and Cybersecurity is on the rise. Gen AI is transforming organizational operations but it is also exploited by cybercriminals.9:20Prediction 2:Cloud Security is crucial as Cloud Computing adoption continues to accelerate. Organizations need to implement strong security protocols like encryption access controls and continuous monitoring.11:58Prediction 3:Elastic Supply Chains will be relevant for operational integrity. So, in 2025 organizations will need flexible resilient supply chains due to changing geopolitics and partner ecosystems.16:09Prediction 4:Emerging business models will underscore the need to be secure by design at a time when digital technologies, io2 capabilities, and advanced connectivity are driving all kinds of new business models, organizations must secure their value chains to ensure these businesses are safe by design. 20:20Prediction 5:Cyber Security mesh architecture will pave the way for zero trust security. So, organizations are moving from these traditional security models to zero trust architectures. 22:22Prediction 6:CSOs will adopt an automation-first approach to manage detection and response. So, do you see people moving towards that automation-first approach?25:00Prediction 7:Cyber Resilience will be essential for business security. A Cyber–Resilience Strategy is crucial for workers and organizations to handle unexpected cyber incidences.More about the TCS article: https://www.tcs.com/who-we-are/newsroom/news-alert/tcs-launches-2025-cybersecurity-outlook-gen-ai-cloud-security-zero-trust-remain-key-priorities-enterprises ///

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Aaron Dossey—a biochemist, biomedical scientist, and champion of entomophagy (the practice of eating insects)—takes us on a journey into the incredible potential of bugs as a sustainable, nutritious, and innovative resource for humanity. From breeding stick insects the size of an arm to creating insect-based taco meat and pioneering the genetic engineering of insects for space farming, Dr. Dossey’s work challenges our perceptions of the future of food, medicine, and even interplanetary living.Q&A2:42Q1Why were you breeding those? What was the project you were working on?4:16Q2I read that one of your favorite is an insect based taco meat. How did you
get into that?6:32Q3You have written that insects will inevitably be the major source of protein on the
food market. Why do you think that? Tell us about that. 8:01Q4Tell us a little bit about that process. What does it take to grow these bugs and then
process them into food grade material?10:06Q5What does it taste like, that particular product, and what does it smell like?11:37Q6Tell us about that. What you're thinking there and how hard would it be to grow bugs
as a source of protein in space?13:39Q7You've also said that DARPA has funded some of your work as well. Tell us about that. 14:47Q8DARPA, who we think about in the context of, weapon systems and the internet and all
and robots, they were aware of cricket viruses?17:03Q9Talk to us about the projects where you're looking at bugs in the context of vaccines.18:43Q10What were you doing there with bugs in the context of genome and genomics? 25:24Q11Now you've also said that this fascinating work that you're doing has also stirred up
trolls and conspiracy theorists. What's that all about? All Things Bugs: www.allthingsbugs.com

What's your gut feeling?11:43Q8Is that something that you think is reasonable to expect in the future, or am I just
talking about, you know, a fantasy world? 19:15Q9If you had AI trained as a board member on how to maximize the opportunity that
startups have and then keep everyone on task...wouldn’t that be powerful?21:22Q10So Gartner is famous for their Gartner hype cycle. Talk to us about where generative
AI is on there. You know, where is it on that hype cycle cycle today?///
