Cyber After Hours

By: Evan & Paul
  • Summary

  • You know when you're at the bar after a long day and the cybersecurity conversations are just soooo much better than in the office? 😎

    You should give a listen or watch to my new podcast series with my fellow cybersecurity pro of many years and long time friend, Paul Marco.

    Podcast theme:

    - Random topic picked out of a fishbowl each week (we don't know which will be selected, so it is very genuine and unscripted conversations each week)

    - We enjoy a tasty adult beverage while filming, just like when talking at the bar after work, to have a more casual conversation (I'm partial to a Woodford Old Fashioned as the norm)

    Note: ⚠overly sensitive ears: do not listen 😉

    - Depending on the topic, episodes have ranged from 25ish - 45ish minutes in length

    - Paul is a long time Cyber Ops expert and I am the same from the Cyber Engineering and Architecture side of the house; we have created world class cyber programs together in our shared past at the same organizations

    - We share stories from our past experiences (don't worry...the names are changed to protect the innocent 🎭), select pieces of wisdom that we've learned over our combined 40ish years leading the cybersecurity programs in highly regulated, enterprise environments, and other opinions / potentially hot takes on the topics selected each week

  • Cybersecurity Skills Gap: The Role of Cross-Training and Mentorship
    Nov 23 2024

    Ever caught yourself tangled in the world of cyber scams, wondering how on earth you got there? Join us for a hilarious yet insightful chat as we recount our first daring steps into podcasting, complete with audio mishaps, the battle against pesky lip-smacking noises, and the all-important quest for the perfect microphone. Alongside, I share my own eyebrow-raising encounter with an extortion email, opening the door to a candid discussion on the realities and tactics of digital scammers. We map out why cybersecurity awareness is crucial, especially for those who might find themselves easy targets.

    The realm of cybersecurity skills is evolving faster than you can say "phishing," and we're diving headfirst into what that means for newbies in the field. Forget just racking up technical skills; it’s about understanding the entire cybersecurity ecosystem. We chat through how staying curious and gathering diverse experiences can be your ticket to thriving amidst rapid technological shifts. Reflecting on how some skills fade while new ones come to the forefront, we even muse about AI's potential to shake things up further in the industry.

    As we round off, there's a hearty discussion about moving from mentorship to consulting. I share stories from my journey in launching the Cyber Defense Army mentorship program. The power of personal networks over cold calls is underscored, encouraging budding cybersecurity professionals to seek guidance actively. With a sprinkle of humor, we ponder when our modest audience might grow beyond a mere ten listeners, wrapping up with a reflection on the podcast's personal touch, serving dual purposes for us and our listeners.
