Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.181 -Spinning Out and Starting Up: The Strike48 Story
Q: How did you get into the cybersecurity industry and what drew you to this space?
I came from the intelligence side and, through consulting, was introduced to leadership at Devo and Rapid7, which opened the door to software and a startup mindset within an established company. It was the blend of curiosity, opportunity, and the chance to learn across industries that drew me in.
Ep.178 -Humans: Your Strongest Asset or Weakest Link?
Q: First off, what's one belief you've had about cybersecurity that most people would disagree with?
The belief is that AI creates new attack vectors; in reality, AI accelerates existing ones, so the focus should be on adapting defenses and addressing social engineering through AI rather than assuming fundamentally new threat methods.
Ep.180 -Streamlined and Scaled Systems: Virtual Assistants Done Right
Q: What role does AI play in the VA space, and can it replace human VA work?
AI enhances efficiency and accelerates repetitive tasks, but expert judgment, trust, and handling complex processes still require a human VA to execute effectively.
Ep.180 -Streamlined and Scaled Systems: Virtual Assistants Done Right
Q: How do you ensure a VA can access the necessary tools securely?
Set up a two-factor authentication, appoint a gatekeeper for the inbox, use secure access tools like LastPass, and schedule a kickoff to configure all required software together.
Ep.180 -Streamlined and Scaled Systems: Virtual Assistants Done Right
Q: What is the first step you recommend when deciding to bring a VA onto the team?
Define the tasks clearly by listing everything you do, then rank them from what you should be doing to what someone else can handle, so you know what to outsource first and how to structure the VA's responsibilities.
