    Lost in Translation: Turning Cyber Risk Into Executive Action (Ep. 3)

    Cybersecurity doesn’t fail because of weak tools. It fails because of weak translation. When executives hear acronyms instead of impact, critical decisions stall. In this episode of Zero Trust Issues, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, sit down with seasoned CISO Lee Buttke to unpack one of the most overlooked risks in modern cybersecurity: the communication gap between technical teams and business leadership. Drawing from real-world incident experience, Lee shares how overly technical reporting during a breach created confusion at the executive level, and what security leaders should focus on instead. Key Takeaways: Why cyber acronyms like TTPs can derail executive understanding The difference between technical reporting and business impact reporting How to communicate containment, exposure, and operational disruption clearly Why cybersecurity maturity frameworks create alignment across leadership How assigning a monetary value to cyber risk drives smarter decisions The role of the CISO in elevating cybersecurity conversations to the board level Why resilience in 2026 depends on proactive communication, not reactive defense And more!

    Cyber Risk 2026: What Every Business Leader Should Be Paying Attention To (Ep. 2)

    When the lights stay on, most people assume everything is fine. But what if the real danger is unfolding quietly behind the scenes? In this episode, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, sits down with AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder Joe Marquette and Major General (Ret.) Ryan Heritage, former Director of Operations at U.S. Cyber Command. They unpack the evolving risks facing critical infrastructure and why modern cyber threats are more subtle, persistent, and strategic than ever. Key takeaways: Why critical infrastructure now extends far beyond traditional military targets How the cyber domain functions as both maneuver space and a weapons platform What “persistent engagement” means in today’s peer-to-peer cyber competition Why AI currently provides asymmetric advantages to attackers The importance of constantly challenging security assumptions at the executive level And more!

    Who the Hack Is AgileBlue? (Ep. 1)

    A deal fell apart at the worst possible moment, and instead of ending the story, it sparked the idea that became AgileBlue. In Episode 1 of Zero-Trust Issues, the founders share how a setback at Black Hat helped shape their approach to cybersecurity, automation, and resilience. In this first episode of Zero-Trust Issues, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, sits down with co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, and Chief Technology Officer Stephen Smith to tell the company’s origin story and what it revealed about the cybersecurity market. The conversation begins in August 2019 at Black Hat in Las Vegas, when the team learned they’d lost what they believed would be their first major deal—sparking an immediate “are we done?” moment. From there, they unpack what it takes to build a security business that can scale without simply adding more headcount. They also discuss why visibility matters when communicating cyber risk to executives and boards, and why “AI-native” security is quickly becoming table stakes as attackers adopt the same tools. Key takeaways: How resilience after a setback can become a competitive advantage Why scaling security operations requires automation—not just more people What “AI vs. AI” means in practice, and why AI-native defense is no longer optional How to make cyber risk visible and understandable for CEOs and boards The real-world pain points in legacy security models that led AgileBlue to build differently And more!
