Episode Notes
The segment is going to tie into the theme of RSAC, which is "Stronger Together." Ben's idea was to get decision makers together to discuss "Managing Security Risks When There Are Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen." More importantly, the idea is to talk about how managing security is challenging in part due to the fact that there isn't really one expert, product, service, or leader who knows all there is about security, yet we have to protect ourselves from a variety of risks anyway. We want to get into how to deal with these management and leadership challenges and hopefully get into strategy.
The panel will cover:
- Prioritizing security risks from different security disciplines.
- Finding the right talent to handle these diverse risks and related expertise?
- What kinds of security management tasks make sense to outsource in order to achieve better results, and which require in house experts?
- How do you deal with the changes in how we view managing security and where do you think this is going in the future?

In this episode of Tech Done Different, we hear from compliance expert AJ Yawn. Perhaps the most surprising takeaway from this dynamic chat with a guru in compliance? Security and compliance are not the same thing. Yet, done properly, compliance can be a powerful driver for security.
Listen in to learn:
- why compliance reports should get better over time (and why a "clean report" is neither realistic nor a good thing)
- why cursory, scan-based "penetration testing" (meaning, really vulnerability scanning) does a disservice in many cases
- how to get meaningful work done, in two steps: 1) meditate, and 2) the 90/90/1 Rule
- why to wake up early
- how technology will shape the future of compliance testing
- why auditors should be advisors, not box-checkers
- how to vet auditors, and why different auditors are appropriate for different projects (and they're not all the same!)
- why you don't want auditors who have framework knowledge, but rather technical knowledge
- why compliance is not security (but security could be compliance)
- how to think about change, reassessments, and doing them sooner
- why the power of following up is "where you catch things"

In this episode of Tech Done Different, we interview yet another incredible person who has achieved the absolute pinnacle of their field: Las Vegas headliner, Jeff Civillico.
Jeff is not just Ted's Georgetown classmate and longtime friend, he's also a world champion juggler who delivered his own Vegas show for 10 years, defying the odds and succeeding even up against monster shows like Cirque Du Soleil, Cher, and more. He joins us to share insights about how to adapt, the role that passion plays in success, and what he's up to next.
You'll learn:
- when you find passions that are adjacent to your main profession, both benefit
- what happens when you pursue your passion (hint: people will follow)
- your job might just be a medium, and that's ok; use it to pursue your passion
- how success results directly from the combination of effort and relationship-building
- how your ego can be a limiting factor, and what to do when you feel it forcing your decisions
- how to plan for the future, and also act on the now
- why to be receptive to the lesson the universe gives you, even if it's not the one you're looking for; getting knocked down sucks, but it makes you better
- why to think about how the next 6 months can impact the next 10 years
- why you shouldn't hold onto the past; you gotta let go in order to obtain the future
- why to find the silver lining, and capitalize on it

During this episode, Ted and Will talked about a gazillion things related to startups, investments, leadership, the cybersecurity market, and so much more. Here are some of the highlights:
- why venture capital is not about money; it's about helping founders succeed
- why to succeed you don't need to have a solution that 100% of CISOs need, you just need 30-60%
- why it's far more important to focus, because depth is better than breadth
- the power of unspoken assumptions, and how to free yourself from their grasp
- why you need to find people who like you for you, and the value of authenticity
- why the questions "why" and "how" are the most powerful tools in your arsenal
- why curiosity is the common trait to most people who succeed
- why to do these three things: (a) be comfortable with who you are (b) don't feel the need to pretend to know everything and (c) be authentic
- why "value add" is just jargon, when what it should answer is this question "what change are you creating? what problems are you solving? how many people are you helping?"
- the power of the mindset that you are compensated by how much you help others
- the 10 security projects companies will invest in this year

In this episode of Tech Done Different, we chat with Peter Harris, a partner at University Growth Fund. Peter explains how venture capitalists think about security, what they see their portfolio companies get right, and what they get wrong. In particular, we discuss:
- how VCs generally don't focus much on security, but if they see a company who has turned security into a competitive advantage (as is taught in Hackable), they'll pay a premium for it
- the leadership principle of "we get the coffee", not the interns
- why the best investors bring value beyond just the check
- why autonomy and true ownership of a project drives people to perform well above and beyond what is expected of them
- what to look for in people: smart, passionate, and good team players
- why constant learning is both important and hard
- why entrepreneurs need to truly understand the pain you're solving, and whether your solution actually solves it
