Early Morning Byte: Wednesday, June 11, 2025
š¶š Dataās Gone to the Dogs

Good Morning, š©āš»šØāš»
Happy Wednesday. Weāre halfway through the week, so hereās the question: are you stepping in or stepping up?
At this weekās TNCR LIVE!, leaders are digging into one of the most underrated drivers of cybersecurity: people. Building a strong risk culture isnāt just about having the right tools, itās about shaping behavior. That message rang loud at the Gartner Security & Risk Summit, where experts emphasized that real resilience starts by bridging silos and leading with intention.
Yes, systems matter, but how your teams take ownership? Thatās the real unlock.
Leadership isnāt about waiting. Itās about stepping forward, especially when itās inconvenient.
š” Hereās whatās catching our eye midweek:
Cracker Barrelās Tech Glow-Up: Old-school brand, new-school stack. Turns out biscuits and backend can coexist.
Pet Tech Boom: BARK and Petco are using data to lead the next evolution in the pet economy.
Amazonās New Bet on PA: A new tech hub, fresh investment, and a ZIP code thatās getting a whole lot smarter.
Letās get into it.
