It’s been a good week around here. I hope you’re well. Women in Security Series – Part One We kicked off the Women in Security series last week, and we couldn’t have chosen a better first guest to help us off on the right track! Renay Rutter, FRSecure’s COO, shared some of the experience, wisdom, and insight she’s gained over her 30+ year IT career….
Happy Monday! Last week was another blur. The world hasn’t quite ended yet, but it seems to be getting closer. Women in Security Series Brad and I are starting a Women in Security Series this week. This will be (at least) a four-part series where we’ll talk about the topic of women in the information security industry. We’ll have a special female guest each week…

So, in case you haven’t heard, we have this problem. Yeah, there’s this thing called ransomware, and it’s sort of all over the news. The city of Baltimore is being held hostage by ransomware – The good: the city decided not to pay the 13 bitcoin (~$100,000 at the time) ransom. The bad: the city is still reeling, with the attack expected to cost more than…
This was a wonderful opportunity to talk to some fascinating people; people tasked with helping us create the future talent of our industry.
