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.

Runtime security and the CISO challenge in the AI era
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Techzine TV from RSAC 2026 Conference, Conor Sherman, CISO in Residence at Sysdig, discusses the evolving role of security leaders in the age of AI and cloud-native infrastructure. Sherman shares insights on how CISOs are adapting to rapidly changing threat landscapes where attackers can compromise cloud environments in as little as eight minutes.
Key takeaways:
• The time from vulnerability disclosure to exploitation has collapsed to under 20 hours
• Runtime security has become critical as traditional posture management alone is insufficient
• Security leaders must balance dual mandates: transforming their own organizations while advising the business on AI adoption
• Threat actors are leveraging AI to accelerate attacks, requiring active defense mechanisms at the kernel level
• CISOs should demand proof from vendors through independent testing like Atomic Red Team
