The theme for this year’s RSA Conference, which our podcast guests are going to tell us all about, is one that's right up our alley here on ITSPmagazine—The Human Element. And, there's a lot going on during the week of RSAC, all designed to help educate and connect the InfoSec professional and community as they look to arm themselves to be successful in their roles and happy and healthy in their InfoSec lives.

On the episode, Jenny chats with Joe Pettit, the Managing Editor at Tripwire and Bora the IT Security Marketing agency helping companies with their SEO, blog content, whitepapers, social media, lead generation & more.

Here we are. The industry didn’t self-regulate, so governments all around the world have been forced to step in to protect us from the “evil” corporations looking to use and abuse our personal information for their financial gain.

To recognize National Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week, Daniel Eliot, Director of Education & Strategic Initiatives for the National Cyber Security Alliance, sits down for an interview with two representatives from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to discuss tax-time cybersecurity tips. They discuss common scams targeting tax-payers, what to look out for, and steps individuals and organizations can take to reduce their chances of becoming a victim of cybercriminals.

Listen in as Jenny and Jonathan talk about Star Wars, the oft-cited skills gap, role descriptions, recruitment best practices for both companies and agencies, and what is needed to take the industry forward - clue- it’s all about the humans.

Listen to Jenny and Holly chat about her work helping organisations benefit from neurodiverse mindsets, how she became involved and how Family Guy is relevant to Siri.

This year, the Data Privacy Day theme is A Vision for the Future. And, as you know, when we talk about the future here @ITSPmagazine, we also like to take a look back to the past. In this episode of Chats on the Road to Data Privacy Day 2020, we do just that, along with our guests, Kelvin Coleman, Executive Director at the NCSA, Senior Counsel at The Future of Privacy Forum, and Director, Digital Lab at Consumer Reports.

How well is your AppSec program working? How well is your DevSecOps program working? Are these two functions separate in your organization, or do they operate as one unit? What skills differences are there between the two functions/roles if any? Are they part of your IT ops team? Part of your security team? Part of your engineering team? All of the above? None of the above?

Privacy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. It can also mean different things to different organizations and government entities. It can also mean different things to different regions and cultures around the world. However, looking at it in polarity—putting the various viewpoints aside for the moment—it can either define how we approach the protection of sensitive information, or it could describe how to legally—or perhaps even morally and ethically—collect and share information.

Listen in as Jenny and Neira explore her life and career, including her focus, inquisitiveness and the positive action that has put her at the vanguard of new technologies, won her a multitude of awards and brought her well-deserved and widespread industry respect and recognition. Thank you for an awesome and inspiring interview Neira!
