Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Nosibor: Taking calculated risks. [Product Lead]
Q: How have threat actors changed over the last decade?
Threat actors have become more blended, combining nation-state espionage with financially motivated crime, and sometimes letting state actors do side work for money, which has blurred lines and raised complexity for defense.
Larry Cashdollar: Always learning new technology. [Intelligence response engineer]
Q: How did your interest in technology evolve into a career in security?
It started with early exposure to computers in school, a Linux discovery by a roommate, and moving from basic programming to hands-on security work through Linux clubs and early penetration testing experiences, which then led to larger roles at major companies and eventually Akamai.
