50 minutes

This week Gar is joined by Jason Duerden, Managing Director of BlackBerry Spark. From beginnings in events and hospitality, Jason says he “fumbled his way into cyber”. He started out working with a hotel group running their IT ops and security, then dived into systems integration before ultimately finding his place in cyber business operations. Jason has worked with Aquion and Cylance and now leads at BlackBerry Spark after Cylance’s acquisition.
