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.

We need to use AI to govern agentic workforces, says Rubrik
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Deploying AI agents is not a good idea if there is no governance. That's why Rubrik launched its Agent Cloud, which is powered by what it calls SAGE. This stands for Semantic AI Governance Engine. At RSAC 2026 Conference, we had the chance to speak to Devvret Rishi, GM for AI at Rubrik, to hear all about framework that uses small language models to provide real-time governance over agent operations.
According to Rishi, SAGE moves beyond static rules to semantic policy enforcement. This allows organizations to express intent in natural language like "AI should not give financial advice." The platform learns from human feedback, surfaces policy violations with reasoning, and runs efficiently enough to monitor every agent interaction. As agentic workforces emerge, it is important to learn why AI-powered security is the only scalable approach to governing non-deterministic systems.
Key takeaways:
• Why conventional identity infrastructure can't handle agent-to-agent interactions
• How SAGE uses semantic understanding to enforce complex policies in real-time
• The three pillars of agent management: visibility, governance, and efficiency
• Why small language models are crucial for low-latency policy enforcement
• How human-in-the-loop learning prevents false positives without causing alert fatigue
• Real-world examples of agents circumventing disabled connectors
• Deployment options from cloud-hosted to air-gapped environments
