Hey Listeners! Spring is in full bloom (finally) in Minnesota, and life is good. The weather is great, and last week, our Governor (Tim Walz) lifted the mask mandate for people who are vaccinated and maintain some semblance of social distancing. It’s good to see people’s faces again, especially when they’re smiling. 🙂 We’re grateful for the guests who have joined our show the past…
Apologies for not posting something about last week’s show, episode 130. We were honored and pleased to welcome John Strand from Black Hills Information Security as our guest. John, Brad and talked openly about John’s path through information security, what Black Hills is working on, the different pockets of security people, why it’s important to work together as information security vendors to improve the community,…
The leading cause of death in the workplace is falls. 36.5% of all fatalities are due to falls, followed by 10.1% caused by being struck with an object. Recognizing the problem, OSHA created requirements to protect workers from falls, including: guardrail systems safety net systems personal fall arrest systems covers positioning device systems fences barricades controlled access zones All these controls, when used properly, save…
We have another great guest for episode 129, and we’re excited to get his take on things! Special Guest – Ron Woerner In this episode of the UNSECURITY Podcast, we’re joined by another good friend of ours, Ron Woerner.

Oh boy. Chalk last week up as “the lost week”. I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota (MN). The same Minneapolis, MN where George Floyd died last May, sparking civil unrest around the world. The same Minneapolis, MN where the eyes of the world are anxiously awaiting the verdict in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin, charged with second-degree murder in George…
Here we are, time for another episode of the UNSECURITY Podcast. I came across another interesting article this week, “15 Cybersecurity Pitfalls and Fixes for SMBs“. I have a heart for underserved markets, and small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are certainly an underserved (or poorly served) market. NOTE: The other underserved markets I’m especially interested in are state/local government, education (higher education & K12), and…
A news article caught my eye this morning while getting ready for this episode of the UNSECURITY Podcast. US Strategic Command Twitter account accessed by child: report Link: https://www.foxnews.com/us/us-strategic-command-twitter-account-accessed-by-small-child-report My first thought was “oh, that’s funny and sorta cute.” Then I thought some more. It seems innocent(ish) to walk away from your computer while you’re at home. What could happen? Well, this could happen, but…
Spring has sprung! The first day of Spring was Saturday, March 20th. If you’re from Minnesota like Brad and I are, you’re happy about this. Speaking of Brad, he’s back this week! Let’s get right to it, show notes for episode 124 of the UNSECURITY Podcast… SHOW NOTES – Episode 124 – Tuesday March 23rd, 2021 Opening [Evan] Welcome listeners! Thanks for tuning into this…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For those of you who aren’t into this holiday (for whatever reason), Happy (everyday) Day! This has been a week full of great experiences and awesome conversations with wonderful people. It’s the people we serve who inspire us to work as hard as we do. Here’s a small sampling: Daytona Bike Week (last week) – if you’ve never been to a…
Happy Tuesday! It’s time to get ready for another episode (#121) of the UNSECURITY Podcast! Not sure if you caught it last week, but there was an open U.S. Senate hearing on Tuesday (2/23). The hearing was titled “Hearing on the Hack of U.S. Networks by a Foreign Adversary” and lasted about two and a half hours. The hearing was about the events surrounding the…
