The response to our first LastWatchdog Strategic Reel has been energizing — and telling.

The appetite for crisp, credible insight is alive and well. As the LinkedIn algo picked up steam and auto-captioning kicked in, it became clear that this short-form format resonates. Not just because it’s fast — but because it respects the intelligence of the audience.

This second-day snapshot continues where we left off: amplifying frontline voices from RSAC 2025. What’s most striking is the consistency of message across these interviews. Whether from Fortinet or ESET, Corelight or Anomali, the theme is clear: GenAI is no longer theoretical. It’s here — and it’s already influencing how SOC teams operate, triage, and respond.

Each voice captured in this reel isn’t reading from a script. These are compressed bursts of clarity from senior technologists who live this reality every day.

The goal with Strategic Reels is simple: create a format that works at the speed of LinkedIn but doesn’t sacrifice substance. The result? A tool that helps thought leaders cut through the noise — and stay top of mind.

If this approach resonates with your team or client, reach out. There’s room in this series for more real voices, more credible takes — and more relevance, exactly when it’s needed.

Watch the embedded reel, and follow me on LinkedIn for upcoming drops. For sponsorship opportunities, I’m happy to discuss what’s possible.
