Description

This is a solo episode between interviews.
I have been doing IT and security consulting for a long time. Over this time, I have noticed a few things that are worth noting when hiring a security consultant. In fact, I would say until you perform some basics and perform some due diligence on your own, don't hire me or any other security consultant. Yes, this seems a little counter intuitive for me to say, "Don't hire me," but there are many common elements I see in environment after environment both on the proactive and responsive engagements.
This episode will touch on some of these elements and is by no means all inclusive.
The take away is to get to know thy self and do your home work!

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.
