Daniel Kahneman is a Nobel prize-winning psychologist and economist and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, a landmark book that decodes human decision-making. Yann LeCun is the chief AI scientist at Meta (Facebook) and a pioneer in the field of deep learning, which the cutting edge of AI is based on today. The two come together on Big Technology Podcast this week to discuss how machines and humans learn, whether there are parallels, and what each field can learn from each other.

Ilan Peleg is 29 years old, and has been a long time middle distance runner. He previously ran the 800 meters, and served int he Israeli Army as a professional athlete. At the age of 21, he retired and started his tech career. He said that there are many who would correlate their Israeli service area of their professional success. He just recently got engaged. He proposed to his fiancé outside of Tel Aviv, on a cliff, in the same spot where they had their first kiss. Generally, he enjoys sports and athletics, and sees it has a positive effect on how he manages his team at Lighten. He also likes to travel, and stay educated on the topics he follows.

Ilan and his co-founder were developers in many different types of companies - startups, enterprises, etc. It seemed to them that it was easy to debut and troubleshoot applications in development, but found it very difficult to observe applications in production. They realized that most developers were not equipped with the right tooling to troubleshoot and understand live applications in the wild.

This is the creation story of Lighten.

In December 2020, Microsoft began sharing information with the cybersecurity industry on a group of Russia-based hackers who gained access to multiple enterprises through vulnerable software code, stolen passwords, compromised on-premises servers, and minted SAML tokens. In this supply chain attack, hackers could access the SolarWinds code, slip malicious code into a piece of the software, and use the vendor’s legitimate software updates to spread malware to customer systems.   

Security Unlocked is excited to share with you, Decoding NOBELIUM. The docuseries gives you an inside look into the NOBELIUM incident, now viewed as one of the most advanced nation-state and supply chain attacks in history, with stories from the frontline defenders who tracked and responded to the attackers.

Bruno Demuro is first and foremost, a father of 2 children. He says this is the single most awesome thing, and yet at the same time, the most challenging thing. He has a background in industrial engineering and design, but considers himself a generalist and a relentless problem solver (which he admits, can be hard on this wife). He loves all thing tech - hardware, software, you name it. But beyond tech, he loves working on and restoring classic cars, along with surfing on a long board.

Earlier in Bruno's life, his mother had to undergo surgery to have a brain tumor removed. Though the surgery went WELL, in order to remove a tumor the size of a penny, the doctor's had to make an opening the size of a grapefruit. When Bruno asked why, the Doctor said that it was the only way they could be sure that the tumor would be accessible. Bruno found this answer to be unacceptable.

This “Trojan source” bug (get it?) could threaten the security of all code.

In its annual report on its user community, GitHub found that developers appreciate automation, reusing code, and remote work. (No surprises there.) 

Ceora explains how automation and code reuse are game changers for independent developers and how this logic is spreading to big tech companies, too.

GitHub’s first Chief Security Officer has the company focused on keeping your repo secure.

GDPR  makes you legally responsible for data someone else shares with you. That’s just one of the reasons it’s not a good idea to solicit personal information through a form and then read those secrets on TikTok.

Dr. Joe Perez, Senior IT Lead at North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and Chief Technology Officer at Solontek joins the show to discuss how data is changing the landscape in government and ways for leaders to support a culture change around information. We also have a conversation about why is it so challenging for government to roll out technology as quick as the private sector, predictions on how data will continue to change government, and what challenges keep a CTO up at night in this new normal.
