    CMMC, NIST, and FedRAMP: What You’re Really Signing Up For with Cybersecurity Expert Lori Crooks -Ep21`

    In this episode, cybersecurity auditing expert Lori Crooks joins Glen to break down CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) and why it’s about to become unavoidable for thousands of organizations connected to the Defense Industrial Base. They explore what CMMC actually requires, how Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) drives compliance scope, and why small subcontractors and “subs of subs” are often the most at risk. Lori walks through readiness assessments, audits, incident response requirements, and the real costs of getting compliant, including tooling, documentation, and third-party auditors. The conversation also covers FedRAMP, NIST frameworks, AI governance risks, cloud security, and why even printers, mobile devices, and ticketing systems can become cybersecurity liabilities. If your organization works with the DoD, government agencies, or sensitive data, this episode offers a clear, real-world look at what compliance actually takes and why waiting may cost you future contracts.

    The Case for Digital Twins in an AI-First World with AI expert Manuj Aggarwal - Ep20

    In this episode of Data and Confused, Manuj Aggarwal joins Glen Kendell for a wide-ranging conversation on why AI adoption feels chaotic, dangerous, and transformative all at once. Manuj, a 30-year technology veteran with multiple AI patents, explains why artificial intelligence is fundamentally different from every technology that came before it. Unlike tools that enhanced physical labor, AI enhances human cognition, and that changes everything. They explore why most organizations are deploying AI without strategy or oversight, how uncontrolled AI agents create data chaos, and why traditional software systems like CRMs and ERPs may not survive the next five years. The conversation dives deep into Manuj’s concept of a “digital twin” an AI reflection of the human mind that helps individuals and teams use AI safely, purposefully, and at scale. This episode goes beyond prompts and productivity hacks to ask bigger questions about identity, purpose, data ownership, and what it means to stay human in an AI-driven world.

    The Future of Economic Fraud with Banking Expert Walt Postlewait - Ep18

    In this episode, commercial banking veteran Walt Postlewait joins Glen to break down how modern banking actually works and why trust, relationships, and human judgment still matter in an AI-driven world. From the real causes of the 2008 financial crisis to the rise of community banks and CDFIs, Walt explains how money moves behind the scenes and why small businesses often get squeezed by the system. They also explore how AI is reshaping lending, fraud detection, and risk management... along with the growing threat of deepfakes, large-scale scams, and financial fraud targeting the elderly.

    The AI Mistakes That Could Cost Your Company Millions with AI governance expert Rock Lambros - Ep16

    In this episode, fractional CISO and AI governance expert Rock Lambros joins Glen to break down why traditional AI governance is officially dead and what organizations must do before they get burned. From real world LLM mishaps like production databases being wiped, to the rise of agentic AI capable of taking real world actions, Rock explains how the risks are evolving faster than most companies can keep up. They also dig into how data governance has become a mandatory foundation for AI adoption, why prompt injection remains the “new SQL injection,” and how over reliance on AI is already causing harm in healthcare, mental health, and critical decision making. Rock also shares how token costs can spiral out of control, what to know about MCP plugins, and why the EU AI Act is becoming the global gold standard for regulation.

    Deepfakes and the AI Arms Race with Trey Blalock -Ep15

    In Part 2, Glen and cybersecurity expert Trey Blalock go deeper into how AI is reshaping the next generation of cyberattacks—and what defenders can still do to fight back. Trey reveals how attackers are using LLMs for fuzzing and vulnerability discovery, enabling a surge of zero-day exploits. He shares chilling examples of deepfake-based fraud, fake Zoom meetings, and AI-assisted phishing that blur the line between real and synthetic interactions. They also discuss the new risks of the public cloud era—where tools like “AWS Nuke” can wipe entire environments in seconds, and how attackers now clone and ransom your data inside the same cloud you trust. This episode dives into the architecture, psychology, and policy gaps that keep organizations exposed—and why the solution isn’t more AI, but better fundamentals.

    Weaponized AI and the End of Attribution with Cybersecurity Expert Trey Blalock -Ep14

    In this episode, cybersecurity expert Trey Blalock joins Glen to unpack how attackers are weaponizing AI to create new zero-days, bypass MFA, and overwhelm defenders faster than ever before. From China’s use of “org networks” that break traditional attribution, to the rise of dark markets selling live browser sessions, Trey explains how the balance of power online is shifting. They also explore how nation-state actors, ransomware cartels, and social engineering operations are converging into a global cybercrime economy—and why most companies still underestimate how vulnerable they really are. Whether you work in IT, risk management, or simply want to understand how AI is changing the threat landscape, this conversation reveals how quickly the ground beneath cybersecurity is moving.
