    Sound Is a Force: Frequency, Healing, and the Physics of Music | A Music Evolves Conversation with Scott "Shagghie" Scheferman, Cybersecurity Strategist, Musician, and Researcher
    Mar 15 2026
    Show Notes Scott Scheferman -- known throughout the cybersecurity and music communities as Shagghie -- brings a rare combination of backgrounds to this conversation: classically trained on trumpet, a live techno producer since the late nineties, a student of synthesis at its lowest circuit level, and now a full-time researcher working on what he calls the Joy Protocol -- a frequency-based framework designed to produce measurable physiological and neurological benefits through sound and light. The conversation opens with Scott recounting his musical journey -- from blues trumpet in the Caribbean to losing his cherished instruments during a move to the United States, to a 25-year silence before his daughter convinced him to pick up the horn again. Then came the synthesizers. He describes performing live techno with six drum machines and synthesizer sequencers at a San Diego club, his parents in the crowd, sweating and dancing by 2:00 AM. For Scott, that was the moment of arrival -- not just as a performer, but as someone understood. From there, the conversation moves into the physics. Scott and Sean explore how frequency operates across the entire spectrum -- from the 7.83 hertz resonant frequency of the Earth itself to the quantum oscillations that defy measurement. Scott makes the case that sound is not merely an aesthetic experience but a literal force, one that operates on the body, mind, and cellular structure in ways now being confirmed by a new wave of scientific research. The Solfeggio scale, long dismissed by mainstream music as esoteric, turns out to have been built around frequencies that have specific, studied, physiological effects on the human body. The conversation doesn't shy from harder territory. Scott discusses directional sound weapons he witnessed firsthand at Booz Allen Hamilton, the documented Havana syndrome incidents, and how blue light frequencies are engineered into consumer electronics to trigger dopamine responses. These aren't conspiracy theories, he argues -- they are the same science, used from the opposite direction. The Joy Protocol is the inverse: taking those same mechanisms and applying them to produce healing, not harm. Even the 40-hertz frequency -- which Scott now seeks out on his wife's Power Plate machine at the gym -- produces a physical response he describes as immediately and unmistakably real. The episode closes on the question every musician, listener, and creator should be sitting with: if certain frequencies heal and others harm, if the A-440 tuning standard may have been a deliberate departure from something more resonant, and if the spaces between notes matter as much as the notes themselves -- then what does it mean to produce music intentionally? Scott points toward the guitar as a last frontier that AI cannot replicate: the harmonic overtones that physically manifest in wood when an instrument is tuned to a resonant frequency cannot be induced after the fact. That reality, he suggests, is both a challenge and an invitation.

  • Supply Chain Resilience and AI Risk in Healthcare | A Brand Spotlight Conversation with Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President, TPRM Customer Solutions of HITRUST

    Supply Chain Resilience and AI Risk in Healthcare | A Brand Spotlight Conversation with Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President, TPRM Customer Solutions of HITRUST
    Mar 15 2026

    Third-party-related breaches have doubled in the last 12 months. Ryan Patrick, Executive Vice President of TPRM Customer Solutions at HITRUST, is not surprised. As organizations outsource more to stay focused on core competencies, the vendor attack surface grows -- and malicious actors are exploiting it through a pattern Patrick calls "island hopping": land on a smaller vendor, secure a foothold, then move laterally toward the real target.

    The Stryker attack, which unfolded in real time during HIMSS 2026, made the stakes concrete. What began as a nation-state operation quickly became a supply chain crisis. Hospitals relying on Stryker products scrambled -- not because their own environments were breached, but because a critical supplier went down. Patrick argues that availability of services deserves equal weight to confidentiality, especially when a supplier outage directly impacts patient care and revenue.

    AI adds a new layer of urgency to vendor risk. Vendors are quietly adding AI capabilities to existing products -- sometimes without notifying customers. An EHR platform might add a clinical decision support model as a routine feature update. The health system consuming it may lack the leverage to audit what that model does with patient data. In agentic AI scenarios, where decisions happen without a human in the loop, the consequences are clinical, not just operational.

    Patrick's advice for managing AI risk: stop treating it as a fundamentally different category. Layer it into existing security programs, policies, and governance frameworks. The uniqueness lies in how you assess AI risk -- not in abandoning what already works. The industry, he observes, is finally moving past the wait-and-see phase.

    The data on HITRUST certification outcomes is compelling. One organization has gone seven to eight years without a security incident by requiring all vendors to achieve HITRUST certification. External vulnerability platforms like SecurityScorecard and RiskRecon independently confirm the pattern: HITRUST-certified vendors score measurably higher. Certified vendors mature over time. Non-certified vendors plateau.

  • Software Supply Chains, AI Risk, and the Transparency Gap | A Brand Spotlight with Daniel Bardenstein of Manifest | RSAC 2026

    Software Supply Chains, AI Risk, and the Transparency Gap | A Brand Spotlight with Daniel Bardenstein of Manifest | RSAC 2026
    Mar 14 2026
    As RSAC 2026 approaches, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Manifest, joins hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to unpack the growing disconnect between how security leaders perceive their AI and software supply chain posture and what practitioners on the ground actually experience. Drawing from Manifest's new research report — Beyond the Black Box — Bardenstein connects the dots between shadow AI, SBOM adoption gaps, and a dangerous pattern: history is repeating itself as organizations rush to adopt AI with the same disregard for security that characterized the early cloud era. In a wide-ranging pre-event conversation ahead of RSAC 2026, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Manifest, explores what it means to truly secure the software and AI supply chain — not just check the compliance box. Manifest's new research report, Beyond the Black Box, surveyed more than 300 security and AI leaders globally to understand the reality of AI adoption and software supply chain risk. One of the most striking findings was not a statistic, but a structural problem: a significant perception gap exists between how confident executive security leadership feels about their AI security posture and how unprepared frontline practitioners actually are. Where there is misalignment, Bardenstein notes, there is risk. The conversation draws a vivid parallel to the cloud adoption wave of a decade ago, when organizations rushed to SaaS and cloud infrastructure without thinking through security implications — and gave birth to entire new industries to clean up the mess. Today, the same dynamic is playing out with AI. Nearly two-thirds of the survey respondents reported encountering shadow AI within their organizations, as employees freely use tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or locally downloaded models without centralized governance. When that AI eventually gets embedded into software that organizations build, deploy, and sell, the blind spots compound. SBOMs — software bills of materials — represent a promising step toward supply chain transparency, and Bardenstein credits the US government's regulatory nudging for driving adoption. Manifest's research shows that roughly 60% of organizations are now generating SBOMs, a meaningful milestone. But generation is not governance. Too many organizations treat an SBOM as a compliance artifact — a JSON file on a hard drive — rather than an operational tool that could dramatically accelerate vulnerability response, regulatory compliance, and incident management. The prescription has been filled; it's just not being taken. To reframe the urgency, Bardenstein introduces the concept of the "transparency tax" — the hidden cost organizations pay in time, money, and risk when they build or buy opaque technology. Just as consumers demand ingredient labels on food, Carfax reports on used cars, and active ingredient disclosures on prescriptions, the technology sector needs to normalize the same transparency for software and AI. For organizations willing to do the math, the case for investing in supply chain visibility becomes not just a security argument, but a business one. Heading into RSAC 2026, Manifest will not have a booth but will be active across the conference floor, meeting with customers, partners, and prospects. Bardenstein will appear on an invite-only panel alongside leadership from Corridor Dev, 1Password, and Google to discuss secure software and secure AI. The team is also planning to announce new platform capabilities designed to close the governance gaps their research surfaced — helping organizations move fast without creating the kind of blind spots that make AI adoption a liability rather than an advantage. Tune in for this sharp, candid pre-event conversation — and look for the full on-location Brand Spotlight recorded live at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco. 🎙️ This story is part of the RSAC 2026 Coverage Series on ITSPmagazine, produced in partnership with Manifest.
