Today we have a different type of guest, a new college graduate who is seeking his first job in the cyber security industry. Steven Luber who graduated last year from Mercyhurst University with a degree in Cyber Intelligence joins our host in exploring what are youth are seeking as they enter today's job market.

You may be surprised to hear that with no expectation for job security our young people are turning to job satisfaction as their primary driver for selecting a job and even an entire career. I am hearing more and more that “Show me the money” mentality is out of fashion in a big way.

Hear what is motivating the next generation….

Today's guests are the top leadership at Denver University, Chancellor Rebecca Chopp and  JB Holston Dean of Computer Science and Engineering at DU. This was one of the most insightful conversations I have had so far. Chancellor Chopps expressed the best non-technical definition of cyber security I have ever heard.

“Cyber Security is the Existential Question of our age that we all need to answer”

Not only does this express the foundation of a new generation but also shows the direction that Denver University is taking to create an entire university education experience where Cyber Security is the center feature. This is a direction that we are seeing more and more as cutting edge industry experience become the top need for higher education.

Thank you Chancellor Chopp and JB Holston for joining us today. It has been an honor and pleasure having you on the show.

Today’s Honored Guest is The Assistant Adjutant General of the Colorado National Guard. Brigadier General Michael Willis gives us a sneak peek of what is in store when it comes to our cyber national defense. Learn the role of the National Guard as well as some limitations which you will find very interesting. I can see from today's conversation why we need the National Cybersecurity Center to fill some gaps that exist from limitations of public service organizations such as the Colorado Guard when it comes to supporting private companies.

Also you will not want to miss BG. Willis’s foresight on the need for roles in cyber security that will need to be filled by our young people. If you are looking for work as a young person you may want to consider the National Guard.  We may have to change the slogan of the Guard to “Serve Your Country and Get the best Cyber Experience”.

Find out how State and National Guards will be pivotal organizations in community cyber moving forward.
