    Navigating Cybersecurity and AI, with Brian Deitch, VP & CTO In Residence at Zscaler

    In this episode, GoTo's Mike Gutierrez, Senior Director, ITSG Strategy and Solutions Consulting talks with Brian Deitch, VP & CTO In Residence at Zscaler, about how AI is fundamentally transforming cybersecurity. Together, they dig into enterprise cybersecurity AI trends and how agentic AI poses new governance and data protection risks. Brian explains how uncontrolled AI tools can proliferate quickly without compliance, red teaming, and identity-based oversight, and how Zero Trust isolates access to a “network of one” to reduce attack surface. They discuss emerging threats like Anthropic's Claude Mythos-style vulnerability discovery, how AI is dramatically collapsing cybersecurity's time-to-exploit, and overlooked risks, emphasizing MFA and federated identity. Brian also shares guidance for managed service providers (MSPs) like elevating risk conversations to executives, phasing initiatives clearly, and treating AI as powerful but requiring human spot-checking to prevent hallucination-driven failures and unexpected costs.

    Healthcare IT, AI and Patient Experience with Christopher Kunney, FHIMSS, MSMOT

    In this episode, Malachi Threadgill, Head of Marketing for GoTo Connect, discusses healthcare digital transformation and patience experience with Christopher Kunney, TEDx speaker, HIMSS Changemaker, American College of Health Data Management Fellow, and managing partner and digital transformation strategist at IOTech Consulting. Christopher emphasizes that transformation is more than upgrading software—it requires rethinking care delivery with health equity at the forefront, so technology equitably serves patients, including underserved populations. They cover how healthcare’s best-of-breed, yet fragmented, systems impact workflows, provider burnout, and the patient experience. Christopher also discusses AI’s potential across administrative, predictive, and clinical decision-support use cases, while stressing human intervention, governance, interoperability, and high-quality data to avoid amplifying bias and creating errors. He argues the future must be designed around the hardest-to-reach patients, with people, process, and technology aligned.

    Unlocking AI's Potential in SMBs with Kevin Surace, Entrepreneur and Futurist

    Recorded during GoFurther 2026 at Comerica Park, this special Practically Tomorrow podcast episode explores how AI is reshaping SMB growth, customer experience,  IT strategy — and how SMBs and companies can use AI deliberately, aligning machine capability with human judgment, creativity, and accountability. Hosted by GoTo's Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Mahoney, this episode features Entrepreneur, Futurist, and GoFurther 2026 Guest Keynote Speaker, Kevin Surace. Named a Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, Kevin led the development of the first AI virtual assistant and built multiple startups to $1B+ valuations. With 94 patents under his belt, he brings a rare mix of real‑world AI innovation and high‑energy insight—equipping IT teams to move from hype to action and innovate boldly. In this episode, Kevin recounts the history of AI from early commercialization and incremental gains in the late ’90s—to today’s rapid GenAI advances. For SMBs, shrinking talent pipelines mean SMBs must use AI to make existing teams more productive while shifting humans to higher-value work. For example, for CX, AI has the potential to solve simple front-end requests letting agents focus on customer care issues that can strengthen the customer relationship. For companies implementing AI transformations, Kevin warns employee sabotage is actually more common than you might expect, and he recommends tiger teams, while advising IT leaders to rely on trusted secure vendors, especially for AI agents. A key takeaway for SMBs? Be AI-first. Commit to testing the AI tools, work the tools into your workflows, and focus on outcomes.

    Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for MSPs and IT Leaders in an Extortion-First Cyberthreats Era, with Acronis

    Mike Gutierrez of GoTo speaks with James Abercrombie, Acronis’ Global Community Lead, about business continuity and disaster preparedness, amidst the world’s most alarming cyberthreats facing MSPs and IT teams. Together, they dig into Acronis' latest Cyberthreats Report, which is based on telemetry from over 1M unique endpoints, highlighting ransomware’s move to extortion-first tactics, increased exploitation of legitimate tools for lateral movement, control plane vulnerabilities, and the increased operational integration of AI in cyber attacks. James emphasizes that cyber risk is now defined by more of a trust failure, and the need for business continuity planning to account for data exposure, regulatory impact, and reputational risk, not just system restoration. The conversation covers managed service providers as high-value targets due to RMM access, supply chain attacks, data classification, segmentation, and incident response that includes workflow automation to reduce human error.
