Marvin Wheeler on Merging MDR with Artificial Intelligence
In this episode Marvin Wheeler and I discuss the recent merger of Cybraics, an AI company with extremely advanced threat detection technology that came out of a DARPA project and SilverSky, a Managed Detection and Response company. While you normally see big hardware and software companies scooping up companies with unique technology, this was a little different. I think it's a trend that you will continue to see. Marvin has great insight into where things are going in cyber and also what qualities are important to advance your career. Enjoy! Cybraics: SilverSky Connect with Marvin on LinkedIn:

Computing at the Edge
People are finding out that moving things into the cloud isn't always the right answer. Tom is an exceptional technologist and we discuss how to take the AI processing to the data when it may not be technically possible or feasible to push it to the cloud. I have wanted to have him on the podcast for months and we were finally able to lock down a time to chat. If you want to know where technology is going, this is a great episode to listen to. Tom and his team are at the very pointy end of solving some really tough and cool compute problems. We didn't talk about it on this episode but whenever we catch up we usually talk about ultra endurance events and running. Tom has been on some crazy endurance adventures that would blow your mind. I'm saving that discussion for another podcast someday... I always learn a ton from these podcasts and I know you will as well. You can find more about Tom here: The NodeWeaver website has some great information, worth spending some time there just to see what they are up to!

Data Encryption In Cyber Security with Jon McLachlan
In recent years, encryption has become an essential tool for cybersecurity and data protection. It’s also one of the most important aspects of any business today - especially when it comes to cloud databases. Encryption will protect your data from being stolen or intercepted by third parties and maintain your privacy by ensuring your information is only accessible by the intended recipient and not by anyone else. There are many different types of encryption methods, but they all use similar principles, which Jon will cover in-depth in this episode. Join the conversation with Jon McLachlan as he shares about encryption in cyber security and data protection to provide you with tools to protect your data in order to avoid potential threats like cybercrime or data breaches. Jon is the co-founder and CEO of Peacemakr and the host of The Security podcast of Silicon Valley, and he has been in technology, cyber, and startups for a very long time. Tune in!

Post Breach Remediation
Thomas is the Director of Post Breach Remediation with Kivu consulting. We have a great discussion about an incident we worked together and what happens after the breach. It's pretty interesting when big attacks happens, it's not always the company names you hear about in the news that are the responding teams. Companies like Kivu are brought in for some of the biggest breaches out there, many times by an insurance company, or outside legal counsel when things are really bad. It was great to catch up with Thomas and in this episode you will learn about how incidents get cleaned up after the attack. You can find Thomas on LinkedIn here: Kivu Consulting Thomas recently launched a podcast called The Cyber Zone over on youtube where they make cyber issues understandable to everyone, which is not an easy task!

Cyber Fraud Detection to Financial Startup
If you are thinking of starting a company or a new founder, you quickly learn that there are lots of things to do that don't involve working on your technology or your big idea. It can quickly become a problem if you don't have the tools that you need to run your startup. Greg Miaskiewicz started Capbase and solved the above problem after being a successful founder and seeing a bunch of issues that other founders have when starting companies. Capbase is a startup building legal/financial tools for founders to setup and build their companies, from incorporation to IPO. Prior to Capbase, Greg built a cybersecurity company using some unique (and funny) methods to capture data, and shared some great knowledge on the podcast.

NVIDIA GPU Based Data Science for Security with Rapids.AI
In this episode, I am happy to be joined by Dr. Bartley Richardson from NVIDIA to chat about GPU based data science and how to get ahead in cyber. I've worked in places where I've have to process ALOT of data whether it be network traffic or logs. I've had problems with data that standard methodologies and hardware just can't scale to handle handle. Bartley and the team over at NVIDIA has been thinking about how to leverage the power of their platforms to solve some of these hard challenges with GPU based data science capabilities. If you are in security operations working with large volumes of data, or architecting your platforms, you should take a look at rapids.ai. "The RAPIDS suite of open source software libraries and APIs gives you the ability to execute end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines entirely on GPUs." A GREAT place to start learning about Rapids is their page on Medium where they are always sharing great content about what they are doing. Links: I think you will love this episode!

Why bother doing something like war driving when you can fly a drone with all the collection and cyber attack capabilities and just land it on the building you are trying to get into? How do you leverage technologies like Virtual and Augmented Reality or Deep Fake and exploit them? These are the types of projects that anyone coming up in tech or security would want to work on. We talk about this stuff and what they look for when they are bringing on interns and employees. What really important if you are trying to get in to tech?

Tracie Zenti is one of the smartest women in technology that I’ve ever met. Her entire career has been working with emerging technology which led her from Hollywood Video where she got her start to companies like IBM, Intel, and Amazon. She is now at Microsoft where she is the Director of Category Management for Migration for Azure Marketplace. Marketplaces are completely changing in a great way how companies acquire new software. We discuss: Her career journey and how she ended up in technology. What it’s like to work somewhere that they are doing a 25 year out roadmap. Mentoring for women and how to get a mentor, which applies to both men and women. How to effectively network with your peers. After we finished recording the interview, we were talking about a couple of things including some of the challenges that women in technology have and I really should have brought that up during the recording because what she was sharing was so important for women in particular that I asked if I could start recording again.
