  • From the HIMSS 2026 Floor: How Zebra Technologies Is Putting Intelligence in the Hands of Healthcare's Frontline | A Brand Spotlight with Chris Sullivan | HIMSS 2026
    Mar 16 2026
    Summary: Recorded live from the floor of HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, this Brand Spotlight conversation with Chris Sullivan, Global Healthcare Practice Lead at Zebra Technologies, explores how technology — from RFID drug tracking to AI-powered frontline devices — is reshaping the way hospitals deliver care, reduce waste, and protect patients. From a groundbreaking pharmacy innovation at Texas Children's Hospital to Zebra's vision for ambient intelligence at the point of care, this is a candid look at what it means to build technology for the people who actually do the work. At HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, the conversation keeps circling back to the same question: how can technology help healthcare workers spend more time with patients and less time chasing information? For Chris Sullivan, Global Healthcare Practice Lead at Zebra Technologies, that question is not hypothetical — it's the work. In this Brand Spotlight, Marco Ciappelli connects with Chris from the conference floor to talk about what's actually happening in healthcare technology right now. Zebra Technologies, a 55-year-old company with over 10,000 employees and more than 300 healthcare-specific products, has built its reputation by designing tools not for the corner office, but for the frontline worker — the nurse, the pharmacist, the care team member who needs the right information at exactly the right moment. One of the most compelling stories Chris shares is Zebra's partnership with Texas Children's Hospital, a world leader in pediatric oncology. The challenge: high-cost cancer medications — some exceeding a million dollars per treatment — were being lost, duplicated, or expiring before reaching patients. The solution was an RFID-based drug management system, built in partnership with a Texas software company, that now tracks medications throughout the pharmacy supply chain. The result? Millions of dollars in annual inventory savings, improved patient safety, and a model that Texas Children's is now actively sharing with hospitals in Amsterdam and beyond. But the RFID story is just one piece of a larger picture. What Zebra calls healthcare workflow orchestration — the coordination of people, assets, and information across a complex hospital environment — is the bigger ambition. Chris describes a three-part framework: asset visibility (digitizing wheelchairs, pumps, medications, and supplies), real-time information for caregivers (through mobile computers and hands-free wearables), and operational automation (like the pharmacy RFID system). Together, these elements are designed to remove friction from the care delivery process and give clinicians back the one thing they most want: presence with their patients. And then there's AI. Zebra has been building sensor-rich devices for years, and now those sensors — over 15 per device, capturing voice, video, and environmental data — are becoming the foundation for an AI platform built specifically for frontline workers. Chris draws a sharp distinction between AI for knowledge workers and AI for frontline workers, arguing that the needs, rules, and structures are fundamentally different. Zebra's approach is to pre-extract sensor intelligence into an open SDK with over 21 AI enablers, then package those into industry-specific blueprints that can be deployed in months rather than years. The conversation ends where it began: with people. Chris is both a technology provider and a healthcare board member, which gives him a perspective that's rare in this industry. He understands what it means when a caregiver is interrupted. He knows that a nurse who has to stop and look something up is a nurse who isn't holding a patient's hand. That's the problem Zebra is trying to solve — not with a flashy pitch, but with 55 years of frontline experience and a clear-eyed view of what the work actually looks like.

  • Sound Is a Force: Frequency, Healing, and the Physics of Music | A Music Evolves Conversation with Scott "Shagghie" Scheferman, Cybersecurity Strategist, Musician, and Researcher
    Mar 15 2026
    Show Notes Scott Scheferman -- known throughout the cybersecurity and music communities as Shagghie -- brings a rare combination of backgrounds to this conversation: classically trained on trumpet, a live techno producer since the late nineties, a student of synthesis at its lowest circuit level, and now a full-time researcher working on what he calls the Joy Protocol -- a frequency-based framework designed to produce measurable physiological and neurological benefits through sound and light. The conversation opens with Scott recounting his musical journey -- from blues trumpet in the Caribbean to losing his cherished instruments during a move to the United States, to a 25-year silence before his daughter convinced him to pick up the horn again. Then came the synthesizers. He describes performing live techno with six drum machines and synthesizer sequencers at a San Diego club, his parents in the crowd, sweating and dancing by 2:00 AM. For Scott, that was the moment of arrival -- not just as a performer, but as someone understood. From there, the conversation moves into the physics. Scott and Sean explore how frequency operates across the entire spectrum -- from the 7.83 hertz resonant frequency of the Earth itself to the quantum oscillations that defy measurement. Scott makes the case that sound is not merely an aesthetic experience but a literal force, one that operates on the body, mind, and cellular structure in ways now being confirmed by a new wave of scientific research. The Solfeggio scale, long dismissed by mainstream music as esoteric, turns out to have been built around frequencies that have specific, studied, physiological effects on the human body. The conversation doesn't shy from harder territory. Scott discusses directional sound weapons he witnessed firsthand at Booz Allen Hamilton, the documented Havana syndrome incidents, and how blue light frequencies are engineered into consumer electronics to trigger dopamine responses. These aren't conspiracy theories, he argues -- they are the same science, used from the opposite direction. The Joy Protocol is the inverse: taking those same mechanisms and applying them to produce healing, not harm. Even the 40-hertz frequency -- which Scott now seeks out on his wife's Power Plate machine at the gym -- produces a physical response he describes as immediately and unmistakably real. The episode closes on the question every musician, listener, and creator should be sitting with: if certain frequencies heal and others harm, if the A-440 tuning standard may have been a deliberate departure from something more resonant, and if the spaces between notes matter as much as the notes themselves -- then what does it mean to produce music intentionally? Scott points toward the guitar as a last frontier that AI cannot replicate: the harmonic overtones that physically manifest in wood when an instrument is tuned to a resonant frequency cannot be induced after the fact. That reality, he suggests, is both a challenge and an invitation.

  • Supply Chain Resilience and AI Risk in Healthcare | A Brand Spotlight Conversation with Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President, TPRM Customer Solutions of HITRUST
    Mar 15 2026

    Third-party-related breaches have doubled in the last 12 months. Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President of TPRM Customer Solutions at HITRUST, is not surprised. As organizations outsource more to stay focused on core competencies, the vendor attack surface grows -- and malicious actors are exploiting it through a pattern Patrick calls "island hopping": land on a smaller vendor, secure a foothold, then move laterally toward the real target.

    The Stryker attack, which unfolded in real time during HIMSS 2026, made the stakes concrete. What began as a nation-state operation quickly became a supply chain crisis. Hospitals relying on Stryker products scrambled -- not because their own environments were breached, but because a critical supplier went down. Patrick argues that availability of services deserves equal weight to confidentiality, especially when a supplier outage directly impacts patient care and revenue.

    AI adds a new layer of urgency to vendor risk. Vendors are quietly adding AI capabilities to existing products -- sometimes without notifying customers. An EHR platform might add a clinical decision support model as a routine feature update. The health system consuming it may lack the leverage to audit what that model does with patient data. In agentic AI scenarios, where decisions happen without a human in the loop, the consequences are clinical, not just operational.

    Patrick's advice for managing AI risk: stop treating it as a fundamentally different category. Layer it into existing security programs, policies, and governance frameworks. The uniqueness lies in how you assess AI risk -- not in abandoning what already works. The industry, he observes, is finally moving past the wait-and-see phase.

    The data on HITRUST certification outcomes is compelling. One organization has gone seven to eight years without a security incident by requiring all vendors to achieve HITRUST certification. External vulnerability platforms like SecurityScorecard and RiskRecon independently confirm the pattern: HITRUST-certified vendors score measurably higher. Certified vendors mature over time. Non-certified vendors plateau.

  • Software Supply Chains, AI Risk, and the Transparency Gap | A Brand Spotlight with Daniel Bardenstein of Manifest | RSAC 2026
    Mar 14 2026
    As RSAC 2026 approaches, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Manifest, joins hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to unpack the growing disconnect between how security leaders perceive their AI and software supply chain posture and what practitioners on the ground actually experience. Drawing from Manifest's new research report — Beyond the Black Box — Bardenstein connects the dots between shadow AI, SBOM adoption gaps, and a dangerous pattern: history is repeating itself as organizations rush to adopt AI with the same disregard for security that characterized the early cloud era. In a wide-ranging pre-event conversation ahead of RSAC 2026, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Manifest, explores what it means to truly secure the software and AI supply chain — not just check the compliance box. Manifest's new research report, Beyond the Black Box, surveyed more than 300 security and AI leaders globally to understand the reality of AI adoption and software supply chain risk. One of the most striking findings was not a statistic, but a structural problem: a significant perception gap exists between how confident executive security leadership feels about their AI security posture and how unprepared frontline practitioners actually are. Where there is misalignment, Bardenstein notes, there is risk. The conversation draws a vivid parallel to the cloud adoption wave of a decade ago, when organizations rushed to SaaS and cloud infrastructure without thinking through security implications — and gave birth to entire new industries to clean up the mess. Today, the same dynamic is playing out with AI. Nearly two-thirds of the survey respondents reported encountering shadow AI within their organizations, as employees freely use tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or locally downloaded models without centralized governance. When that AI eventually gets embedded into software that organizations build, deploy, and sell, the blind spots compound. SBOMs — software bills of materials — represent a promising step toward supply chain transparency, and Bardenstein credits the US government's regulatory nudging for driving adoption. Manifest's research shows that roughly 60% of organizations are now generating SBOMs, a meaningful milestone. But generation is not governance. Too many organizations treat an SBOM as a compliance artifact — a JSON file on a hard drive — rather than an operational tool that could dramatically accelerate vulnerability response, regulatory compliance, and incident management. The prescription has been filled; it's just not being taken. To reframe the urgency, Bardenstein introduces the concept of the "transparency tax" — the hidden cost organizations pay in time, money, and risk when they build or buy opaque technology. Just as consumers demand ingredient labels on food, Carfax reports on used cars, and active ingredient disclosures on prescriptions, the technology sector needs to normalize the same transparency for software and AI. For organizations willing to do the math, the case for investing in supply chain visibility becomes not just a security argument, but a business one. Heading into RSAC 2026, Manifest will not have a booth but will be active across the conference floor, meeting with customers, partners, and prospects. Bardenstein will appear on an invite-only panel alongside leadership from Corridor Dev, 1Password, and Google to discuss secure software and secure AI. The team is also planning to announce new platform capabilities designed to close the governance gaps their research surfaced — helping organizations move fast without creating the kind of blind spots that make AI adoption a liability rather than an advantage. Tune in for this sharp, candid pre-event conversation — and look for the full on-location Brand Spotlight recorded live at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco. 🎙️ This story is part of the RSAC 2026 Coverage Series on ITSPmagazine, produced in partnership with Manifest.

  • The Business of Trust: What Steel Patriot Partners Is Watching at RSAC 2026 | A Brand Spotlight with Michael Parisi
    Mar 14 2026

    As RSAC 2026 approaches, Michael Parisi of Steel Patriot Partners sits down with Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin to talk about what it means to show up to the world's largest cybersecurity conference with a business-first mindset. For Parisi — a 20-plus year veteran of professional services, federal compliance, and cybersecurity — RSA is less about the show floor and more about the quiet corners where real conversations happen.

    Steel Patriot Partners operates on a simple but powerful premise: business owners first, engineers second, compliance professionals third. That philosophy shapes everything from how they engage clients to how they show up at industry events. At RSAC, Parisi's calendar is already full — and intentionally so. The value isn't in the booths. It's in the bilateral trust that forms between peers who cut through the noise to share what's actually working.

    And the noise, this year, is particularly loud. AI dominates the conversation in ways that create as much anxiety as excitement — especially for federal cybersecurity professionals whose institutional knowledge feels suddenly uncertain. Parisi addresses this head-on: the question isn't just whether AI will replace jobs, it's whether leaders are having honest conversations with their teams about what's changing and why. The fog of marketing has thickened into what he calls a "fog of truth" — a marketplace where it's increasingly hard to know who actually delivers versus who just pitches well.

    This conversation is a preview of what Steel Patriot Partners will be listening for, talking about, and connecting around at RSAC 2026 — from retaining trusted people amid AI disruption, to whether tried-and-true solutions still hold their own against the wave of AI-native platforms. Parisi and the SPP team will also be sitting down with Marco and Sean live on the floor for a deeper follow-up conversation.

  • Adapting to the Speed of Risk: Why GRC Programs Must Move with the Business | A Brand Highlight Conversation with Steve Schlarman, Senior Director of Archer
    Mar 12 2026

    Archer is redefining what it means to manage governance, risk, and compliance in an environment defined by constant change. Steve Schlarman, Senior Director at Archer, has spent nearly two decades helping organizations understand why their traditional GRC approaches are falling short and what it takes to close the gap.

    The forces challenging organizations today are well known: velocity of change, volume of change, and the uncertainty that compounds both. What makes the problem acute is timing. Annual audit cycles and quarterly risk assessments produce reports that reflect a reality that has already shifted by the time decision makers see them. The result is drift between what GRC functions can see and what leadership actually needs to know, and every gap in that visibility carries potential exposure.

    Schlarman explains that this reactive posture is exactly what Archer is working to change. Rather than treating risk and compliance as periodic checkboxes, the goal is to build a program that runs continuously, projecting forward as the business expands into new jurisdictions, launches new products, or encounters emerging risks. What are the compliance obligations? How does exposure shift? Archer Evolv is designed to answer those questions in real time, keeping GRC moving alongside the business rather than scrambling to catch up.

    Central to Archer's strategy is AI applied with intention. Rather than deploying generic agents, Archer is building what Schlarman calls AI operators: focused, guardrailed tools designed specifically to solve GRC problems. That distinction matters because the complexity of risk and compliance work demands precision, not just automation.

  • Tackling Third-Party Risk and AI Security in Healthcare | A Brand Spotlight Conversation with Jason Kor, Principal of HITRUST | HIMSS 2026 Event Coverage
    Mar 9 2026
    Third-party risk is no longer a background concern for healthcare organizations -- it is a frontline challenge. Jason Kor, Principal at HITRUST, works on the company's third-party risk management team, helping enterprises understand the security risk embedded in their supply chains. The numbers tell a stark story: according to Security Scorecard, 99% of the world's 2,000 largest companies are actively connected to a vendor that has experienced a breach in the past 18 months. And Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report shows that the share of breaches tied to a third party has doubled year over year. HITRUST exists precisely to help organizations move from awareness to action. HITRUST will be at HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, March 9-12, at Booth 11307. Stop playing whack-a-mole with vendor risk -- step into the VR challenge and win prizes. For organizations already holding a HITRUST certification, the team has something else waiting: a trophy recognizing the commitment to independent, external audits and rigorous security standards. For those exploring certification for the first time, the booth is a chance to understand how HITRUST compares to alternatives like SOC 2 questionnaires -- and why scalability and risk reduction make it the stronger choice for supply chain assurance. Kor puts it plainly: the audits are time-consuming and expensive because they are effective. And at the end of the process, someone reads that report and makes real business decisions based on what it contains. Two major themes converge at this year's event: supply chain risk and AI. HITRUST has already launched an AI security assessment offering, and new CSF releases are on the horizon, including a report center feature enabling online review of assessments for anti-fraud and continuous monitoring purposes. On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 11:10 AM to 11:30 AM, Kor will deliver a 20-minute session titled "Understanding AI Security Risk -- The New Blind Spot in TPRM and Supply Chain Resilience." The session addresses a rapidly evolving challenge: as organizations build their own generative AI tooling -- or work with third parties that have integrated AI into their products -- questions around data sovereignty, input handling, and model provenance become critical, especially in healthcare where electronic health information is at stake. Also on the HIMSS 2026 agenda from HITRUST: Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President of TPRM Customer Solutions, joins John P. Houston of UPMC and Chuck Christian of Franciscan Health for a Brunch Briefing titled "Building Secure, Compliant, and Resilient Healthcare Systems Together" on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM at Level 1, Casanova 505. The session offers practical strategies, frameworks, and real-world lessons for organizations looking to reduce risk, enhance protection, and advance trust in an evolving threat and regulatory landscape.

  • Task by Task: The Workflows We're Handing to AI — One Decision at a Time | Lens Four by Sean Martin | Read by TAPE9
    Mar 10 2026
    Nobody decided to build a human-optional workflow — they just kept making reasonable procurement decisions, task by task, until the human became optional across hiring, contracting, finance, and security operations. Sean Martin traces what organizations have actually assembled, where accountability lives when it goes wrong, and why the regulatory window for getting ahead of it is closing faster than most leaders realize. In this edition of Lens Four, Sean Martin looks at the agentic AI landscape through three lenses — programs, innovation, and messaging — to connect the signals that matter. 🔍 In this episode: Why organizations are building human-optional workflows one procurement decision at a time — without ever deciding toThe five-task AI hiring pipeline and five-task AI legal contracting pipeline — real tools, real companies, real outcome data375+ agentic AI vendors claiming the space, but only ~130 delivering genuine capability — and what that gap means for buyersWhy "augment, not replace" is a strategy, not a description — and what the accountability gap it creates looks like when something goes wrongThe agentic orchestration platform emerging from Nintex and Microsoft — and why it splits outcomes between deliberate orgs and accumulatorsThe regulatory window that is open right now — and why it won't stay that way Fourth Lens: The vendors knew what they were building. The buyers didn't ask the right questions. The auditors haven't arrived yet. The organizations that use the remaining window to map what they've assembled — and make explicit decisions about what requires human judgment — will be positioned when the frameworks arrive. The ones that don't will discover that the workflow they built by default is not the workflow they would have chosen under scrutiny. 📖 Read the full Lens Four analysis on seanmartin.com: https://www.seanmartin.com/lens-four/task-by-task-workflows-handing-to-ai-one-decision-at-a-time 🎧 Listen to the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast conversation with Edward Wu of Dropzone AI at Black Hat USA 2025: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-stories/dropzone-ai-brings-agentic-automation-to-black-hat-usa-2025-a-drop-zone-ai-pre-event-coverage-of-black-hat-usa-2025-las-vegas-brand-story-with-edward-wu-founder/ceo-at-dropzone-ai 🎧 Listen to the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast conversation with Subo Guha of Stellar Cyber at RSAC 2025: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-stories/simplifying-cybersecurity-operations-at-scale-automation-with-a-human-touch-a-brand-story-with-subo-guha-from-stellar-cyber-an-on-location-rsac-conference-2025-brand-story 🎧 Listen to the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast conversation with Subo Guha of Stellar Cyber at Black Hat 2025: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-stories/stellar-cyber-revolutionizes-soc-cybersecurity-operations-with-human-augmented-autonomous-platform-at-black-hat-2025a-stellar-cyber-event-coverage-of-black-hat-usa-2025-las-vegas 🎧 Listen to the Random and Unscripted episode — "We're Becoming Dumb and Numb" — with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli: https://randomandunscripted.com/episodes/were-becoming-dumb-and-numb-why-black-hat-2025s-ai-hype-is-killing-cybersecurity-and-our-ability-to-think-random-and-unscripted-weekly-update-with-sean-martin-and-marco-ciappelli | 🎬 Watch on YouTube 🔔 Subscribe to the Future of Cybersecurity newsletter on LinkedIn: https://itspm.ag/future-of-cybersecurity This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.
