Techzine TV podcast
In the Techzine TV podcast we analyze B2B IT solutions, strategies, and trends. IT companies are happy to invite us to talk about what they are working on and what they are going to bring to market. We visit them all around the world, and in some cases, they visit us in our office.
We have a good understanding of how technologies work, or how they should work. We also hear a lot from the market about what companies need or where things go wrong. This gives us the ability to have really in-depth conversations on technology, strategies, and products, but we always try to keep it practical and easy to understand.
We explain innovations, interpret new IT concepts, and use practical examples to make complex technology understandable for everyone. Where necessary, we bring in experts to clarify matters further. The goal is to help IT professionals, decision makers, and other listeners better understand IT developments, but also to help them in their search for new solutions for their business and not get stuck on buzzwords and one-liners.
The Techzine TV podcast is an evolution of the previous Techzine Talks on Tour series. We still bring a lot of conversations and interviews from events to this series. We record so many video interviews nowadays, so we can select the best ones for this podcast series.
The topics still vary greatly, as Coen and Sander attend a total of 50 to 60 events each year, ranging from open-source events like KubeCon to events hosted by Cisco, IBM, Salesforce and ServiceNow, to name only a few. With a lot of experience in many walks of IT life, Coen and Sander always manage to produce an engaging, in-depth discussion on general trends, but also on technology itself.
So follow the Techzine TV podcast and stay in the know. We might just tell you a thing or two you didn't know yet, but which might be very important for your next project or for your organization in general. Stay tuned and follow Techzine TV.

In this episode of Techzine TV, recorded at Wiz's London Wizdom event, we explore the evolving landscape of cloud security with Amitai Cohen, responsible for threat research at Wiz. The discussion reveals why cloud security has become synonymous with all security practices and examines the most common misconfigurations organizations face.
Cohen explains how the responsibility for security is shared between vendors and customers, and why default configurations hold immense power in determining security postures. The conversation delves into supply chain security across package registries like npm and PyPI, open source maintainer responsibilities, and the emerging challenges of AI-powered attacks.
Key takeaways:
• Why IMDSv1 vs v2 in AWS represents typical cloud misconfiguration patterns
• How AI tooling built for labs is being deployed in production environments
• The rise of vibe coding and its security implications
• How attackers are using AI CLIs on developer machines
• Why runtime detection is becoming more critical than static malware analysis
• The importance of opinionated security defaults from vendors
• Supply chain security differences between major package registries
