Cybersecurity Perspectives
Cybersecurity Perspectives is a show for IT and cybersecurity professionals who want real talk, not talking points.
Every episode, a guest draws one of three cards, each one holding a real statistic pulled from an industry report or news outlet. Whatever card they pick becomes the topic. No pre-set questions, no rehearsed answers. Just an honest conversation about what that number actually means for their company, their team, and the industry at large, and what to do about it.
Hosted by Paul…
