Jumping into a time machine.

This week, Ben Yelin discusses the new California Opt Me Out Act that requires web browsers to offer a one-click “opt-out” setting that stops companies from selling or sharing your data. Dave Bittner bring the story about the Supreme Court of the United States weighing whether internet service providers must cut off users who repeatedly pirate content — a ruling that could transform how online piracy is policed and overhaul liability for ISPs. Ben and Dave are joined by ⁠Daniel Woods⁠, Principal Security Researcher at ⁠Coalition⁠, to discuss the rise of cyber insurance exclusions and the consequences of this trend.

Episode 1: ManageEngine - Live interviews from ManageEngine Userconf in Las Vegas, NV

We took the podcast on the road for this one. Gianna spent two days roaming the ManageEngine User Conference in Las Vegas, mic in hand, slightly over-caffeinated, talking with the people who actually keep this massive IT management ecosystem running. This episode brings together conversations with the CMO, the team leading North America operations and partnerships, and one of ManageEngine’s longtime global channel partners. Different roles, different vantage points, but everyone came back to the same theme: trust. Not the buzzword version, the real kind, where meeting someone face-to-face finally puts a human behind the support ticket. And yes, Part 2 is on the way. We’ve got more interviews from the conference floor, including late-night influencer conversations and a studio-recorded session with the VP of Product. Think of this episode as the first half of the full story.
