Another week down. Damn, a whole month is down! January is already in the books. While I’ve got you here, help us out with our mission. We’re busting our tails off doing our part to fix the broken information security industry. We’re striving and doing these things: Setting a common information security language that can be spoken by everyone; the S2Score. Developing and delivering simple…
Here we are, already into the 4th week of January and this is the last show for the month. Quick recap of last week because it was awesome! On Saturday (1/18), we held our holiday party at Punch Bowl Social. FRSecure and SecurityStudio employees flocked in from all over the country (Nevada, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida, etc.) to celebrate together. We sort of took over the…
I’m grateful to be back home. Two weeks in Cancun, Mexico where the sun was shining and the temperature was in the 80s. Now, I’m back in Minnesota where there’s a foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is in the single digits. I’m grateful to be back home because I’m with my family again. My FRSecure and SecurityStudio family! THANK YOU to…
Still in Cancun for another week (Evan). I know, poor me. One thing is certain. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing or what you’re doing, the world doesn’t pause and wait for you. Attackers still attack and defenders still defend. Some of us are thriving and others of us are just struggling to survive. So, the big worldwide news this past week was the U.S….
Hello 2020! What do you have in store for us? In last week’s episode, Brad and I discussed some of the crappy things from 2019. It’s no doubt, we’ve got a lot of work to do in this industry. Now, in this episode, we’re going to discuss some of the great things we did this year as an industry, and we’re going to look at…
Goodbye 2019. It’s been real. “Where did the time go?” A common question, we ask ourselves. This year I decided to take a stab at answering it. Here’s where my time went, for what it’s worth (roughly): 38.58% (or 3,380 hours) working 27.09% (or 2,373 hours) sleeping 23.90% (or 2,094 hours) personal (family, friends, etc.) quality time 10.42% (or 913 hours) other I spent ~15%…
If you’re an information security consultant, you know how crazy the end of the year is. It’s crazy! We’re trying to wrap up all the projects that needed to be completed before the end of the year, and it’s always a challenge. Thank God for Project Managers and a top-notch operations group! If you missed last week’s episode, we talked about information security in schools…
We welcome Mike Dronen to be our guest in episode 58 of the UNSECURITY Podcast! Mike is the Executive Director of Technology for Minnetonka Public Schools (District 276), and he’s joining us to talk about information security challenges facing K-12.

This week we continue the conversation with our special guest, Justin Webb. Justin is a Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Attorney, and the Chief Information Security Officer at Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. in Milwaukee.
