There is “no one way” to start and stay in the field of cyber security. Whether you are involved from the military, law enforcement, consulting, or IT services, it doesn’t matter. I have had countless discussions for years with other professionals online, at conferences, or over drinks, which have changed the way I think about cyber security. That is where this podcast comes in. What if I can capture those moments and frank discussions? I want to share the stories from other cyber security leaders and influencers so everyone can learn from their respective journeys and challenges. Why did they take the path they did? Who were their mentors? How did they tackle some of their biggest career challenges? By hearing how the industry leaders and influencers got to where they are and how they overcame some of the problems they faced, I hope to shed light on the path for other professionals. I will discover what motivates them, explore their journey in cyber security, and discuss where they think the industry is going.

Great podcast

I am newer to the industry and sometimes the lingo can go over my head which is fine. The best thing about the show is all the advice and different aspects of security from all over the field that are talked about. I look forward to hearing more.

SPEAK LOUDER

Interesting topics but there are times when I am listening and can’t hear the host. Please speak into the mic or speak louder.

More Woke, Less Security

I found very little actual security talk but plenty of woke talking points. If these talking heads worried half as much about race and privates as they do about security we’d have nice things.
