Originally posted on my LinkedIn profile. I’ll be honest. If I were adding someone to my team, I wouldn’t choose someone solely because they’re White, Black, American Indian, Asian, or any other race. I also wouldn’t choose them because of their gender, sexual preference, or who they voted for. I would choose them for who they are and what they bring to the team. I…
Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day (July 4th)! We’ve gone through a lot together in this country, and I love this place we call home. Lots to do in making the USA better, but this will always be the case. This is the best country in the world, and I’m grateful! In case you missed it, two big events last week; the Kaseya ransomware…
It’s been a few weeks since I posted show notes, and even then, I’m late! If you working in the information security industry, you’re probably extremely busy. My busyness is what’s kept me from updating show notes and things. Episode 137 was a fun one. Brad was back and we talked about all Microsoft’s recent blunders/issues. John McAfee Before we get into it, I want…

We’re back with another amazing guest this week! It’s our treat to welcome Gabriel Friedlander from Wizer to the show! The guests from the last month (or so) have been incredible. There are so many great people in our industry who are in this for the right reasons, primarily to serve other people! If you missed any of these shows, you can find them here:…
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,…
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. Ron and I (Evan) first met at the RSA Conference last year (2020) after being introduced to each other by Ryan Cloutier, another good friend. Ron…
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…
