  • Love the out of the box thinking

    Being in the IT security field I enjoy this show because of the various topics, guests, and unique but conversational style on tough subjects. It really brings to light the many issues faced by global firms today as they battle against cyber attacks, insider threats, and the damage to firms in $$$, credibility, or even morale if handled poorly
