Whaaaaaaat?! Is this two Friday’s in a row? I’m on time two weeks in a row? Sort of a miracle.
It’s been a crazy, crazy week. I won’t speak too much for Brad, but I think his was probably crazy too.
We started the week off with episode 27 of the Unsecurity Podcast. Special thanks to our guest Ryan Cloutier. I was in Anaheim, California while Ryan and Brad were in studio. We talked about information security in K-12, and equipping children for today’s (and the future’s) most pressing security and privacy challenges. Ryan’s insights were awesome and well-received.
We record our podcasts every Monday morning at 6:45am CDT. That made it 4:45am for me in California. Early start, and we ran hard ever since. The quick summary of the week consisted of five talks, four conferences, two CISSP Mentor Program classes and a panel. It was a really good week, but one where we had to hustle from beginning to end.
The five talks (conference, title, speaker):
-
ISACA North America CACS Conference, Why?, Evan
-
Loffler 2019 Tech Fest, Speaking Information Security, Evan
- 2019 Secure360, Disaster doesn’t have to be debilitating: The best way to build your disaster recovery plan, Brad
- 2019 Secure360, Speaking Information Security, Evan
-
Minnesota State IT Center for Excellence New Directions Faculty Conference, 7 Facts About Unicorns 38 of the 100 Truths About Information Security, Evan
I’ll write something up about each talk and share the presentations later.
Turned out to be ~350 PowerPoint slides this week for the five talks, and two CISSP Mentor Program classes. PowerPoint hell, is what it was.
OK, enough. About the show. Figured we share our week and our experiences with you this week. There’s plenty of good nuggets in there.
