The US is a country bound by laws: there’s no question about that—the country is driven by legislation and policy. Sometimes policies are set in advance of a situation—many times, laws are put into action in response to a situation or event. Sometimes they are enacted at the federal level—sometimes state and local governments lead the charge. Sometimes the US leads globally in policy innovation—sometimes the US takes a back seat and follows other counties.

To kick things off in this Episode Zero, we have a good chat with Jamie Hine from the FTC and Ryan Disraeli, representing a once-small, now medium-sized business. Together we recap the overall need for SMBs to be cyber aware, discuss the value of recognizing these common misconceptions, and review the plan we have moving forward as we cover each of them in this multi-episode series.

Preparing for the future of work may mean leaving legacy processes and systems behind. A picture is worth a thousand words. Why is that? Because humans like to visualize things.

Wait. What?

This is a one-of-a-kind event and that’s why we have decided to be part of it. Let us tell you why.

Born as a series of happenings taking place in different parts of the planet, one of the goals for this summit is to bring together and discuss cybersecurity’s diverse cultural approaches, perspectives, and visions; recent events have transformed this in-person summit into a global virtual multi-day event crossing multiple time zones.

In this episode, Alyssa, Phillip and Cloe talked to Alissa Knight about her early days as a hacker hanging out on BBS systems and how she discovered a career in security.

Are you ready to "geek out" again? This time on Office 365 (O365)? Good! I have some fantastic guests joining me for this conversation.

If you are old enough or enjoy "vintage" cartoons, you may be familiar with The Jetsons—a 1960s/1980s TV show about a family living in a futuristic place called Orbit City. The architecture is Googie style, technology is absolutely everywhere, and all homes and businesses are high up in the sky supported by very tall columns. No need, in this conversation, to dig into the possible environmental or societal catastrophe that may have forced this solution. And, let's keep it as a joke about how that, in the year 2020, there is no such city; and why we are not living that life?

If you are reading this, I am assuming you are human.

As a human being, I am also going to think that we share many traits—both physical and behavioral. I am also going to assume that we are very, very different people.

In this conversation, we are going to focus on the value of diversity for our industry—cybersecurity—and we will leave the anthropological, sociological, and philosophical discussions for another time and another place.

When your prospects validate your minimum viable product (MVP), you know you are on the right track. We were fortunate to meet Guy Givoni and Paul McCarty during their RSA Conference LaunchPad event in Singapore.
