The Coffee Squad Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Coffee Squad
Ray, Jake, and Will came together over their passion for security. While discussing current security issues over some coffee (well, sparkling water for Jake), the idea was born to find a way to share security principles and opinions with people across all levels of experience. They wanted it to be informative while remaining light-hearted and fun… And so was born “The Coffee Squad Podcast.” So, sit back with your favorite beverage and enjoy the show!
