In this episode Andy, Jen and Dave welcome Jorhena Thomas to the pod to discuss protests, disinformation, reopening and what impacts they may mean for organizations. The team also banters about naming the pod as well as share a little “inside baseball” hurricane poll even though Andy doesn’t care much for baseball.

In this new episode we bring the Gate 15 Pod crew together to discuss security concerns around the re-opening of many business around the world on the physical security and cyber security side.

In this episode Andy, Dave and Jen discuss Ramadan, the infodemic, as well as the impacts of the re-opening / re-entry of businesses across around the world. The team then wraps it up with a  couple thoughts to hurricanes and National Hurricane Preparedness Week.

In this episode Gate 15 shares a webinar led by Casey Ateah, Gate 15’s Director of Preparedness, Andy Jabbour, Gate 15 Managing Director and including David Pounder, Gate 15 Director of Threat and Risk Analysis. In this webinar, the Gate 15 team discusses why often, many organizations don’t do a great job of completing a deliberate after-action review process or developing effective after-action reports (AARs) after incidents, from small-scale events to significant threats, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. 

The webinar covers topics such as how to get started on an AAR process by identifying the needed resources and getting those resources to conduct the necessary analysis in order to draft an After-Action Report and Improvement Plan. Andy also shares some thoughts on the importance of preparedness and imagination when working towards personal, organizational and national resilience.

This will be the first in a new podcast offering from The Gate 15 Company. In this episode we welcome security experts Bridget Johnson and Travis Moran as well as Gate 15 Managing Director Andy Jabbour to talk about terrorism, extremism, drones and surveillance measures in the COVID world.

There is a lot of information out there related to COVID. Aside from initial reactions, the team looks ahead to what’s next and how do we start preparing to handle incidents in a COVID world.

So much can change in a month. Last month we touched on COVID-19, and this episode we dig more into questions about preparedness and the resulting cyber scams associated with it. Then we transition to other cyber issues, specifically Business Email Compromise and phishing.

Episode 2. Today we talk nCoV. What do you need to know, and should you be concerned. Also talk about how events like nCoV could lead to scams. Finally we hit building security and the latest terrorist / extremist activity.

Episode 1. Looking back at the security challenges in 2019 and ahead to what we may expect in 2020. Join Andy Jabbour, Jennifer Lyn Walker and David Pounder.
