Welcome back to another captivating episode of The TechTual Talk*! Today, we're thrilled to have a special guest, Gregory Richardson, Blackberry's Vice President Global Advisory CISO , who brings a wealth of knowledge and years of experience in the cybersecurity industry.

Hi there, welcome to The Techtual Talk! I'm your host Henri and today we have a very special guest joining us - Aria, also known as "AD" on Twitter where she shares invaluable insights about being a Cybersecurity Consultant in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as job search strategies.

Aria has a fascinating multifaceted background in GRC. She started her career as a fraud analyst at American Express before transitioning into compliance and risk after working on an impactful project involving investigation and legal action against fraud perpetrators. Determined to excel in GRC, Aria embarked on an intense self-learning journey - accessing a grant program for cybersecurity certifications, completing it, and landing a role as a GRC analyst.

In our conversation today, Aria breaks down the critical components of an effective risk assessment process. She emphasizes the importance of control determination, risk level assessment, prioritizing risks, and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. Aria also provides real-world examples illustrating significant business risks like cyber attacks, ransomware, phishing and employee vulnerabilities.

We dive into the ongoing debate around certifications versus degrees for GRC job applications. Aria shares astute advice for individuals considering career changes, stressing the value of foundational knowledge and demonstrating transferable skills. She also opens up about the challenges of thriving in a GRC career - from meeting compliance needs without compromising operational efficiency to staying on top of GRC news in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

Aria's remarkable career progression, nearly a $100k increase since her early days as a fraud analyst, underscores the demand for GRC professionals with strong technical backgrounds. Her parting words for our listeners - take a proactive approach to learning, commit to excellence, and put in the work independently to achieve great outcomes.

Stay tuned for this illuminating and inspiring conversation with Aria! #GRC #cybersecurity #salary

Plus, we've got the scoop on what's scary in data privacy, the rise of deep fakes, and how to armor up against the cyber baddies that keep changing their stripes. If you're curious about PCI compliance or climbing the GRC ladder, Jordanne's lived to tell the tale.

We're all about sharing that good karma, so we've got a code for a free 14-day trial with Aura to keep your data on lockdown. And yeah, we'll remind you: Don't go wild with that tax return—invest in your tech future instead!

Welcome back to another episode of The TechTual Talk. This episode will focus on the truth about IT helpdesk and its correlation with cybersecurity. Nigel joins the show today to talk about his early career, transitioning from helpdesk to Cyber Threat Intelligence/vulnerability management in 10 months, A Day in the Life of a cyber threat intelligence analyst, salary expectations and much more.
If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment below. #helpdesk #threatintelligence #vulnerabilitymanagement

Until 2021 Nigel worked as an IT consultant, and gained skills in risk management/mitigation strategies and network administration. It’s through these experiences he learned about cybersecurity, and recognized that this was a career path he was passionate about. Though he's worked hard to develop his cybersecurity skills, Nigel recognize that his time spent as an IT consultant will always provide him with a beneficial perspective in the Cybersecurity world. He intends to carry this with him and share this combination of technical skills into my next role. During Nigel's time at Fullstack Academy’s Cybersecurity bootcamp, he gained experience as a Cybersecurity Analyst and was successful in developing strong networking skills and an understanding of the OSI model, network protocols, and ports. Learning the fundamentals of general security practices, NIST standards, and information security management has provided him with the foundation of technical skills he's certain will aid him in this role. After successfully completing his courses with Fullstack Academy’ he continued his studies through a variety of online simulations. He earned the security plus and one month later acquired his first security position as a security analyst II in threat intelligence and vulnerability management.

Welcome Back to The TechTual Talk Podcast! Joining us today is the lovely Breenae Washington , she is a Cybersecurity Product Manager , an author, and an influencer! She mixes in our culture while also letting black women know they belong in this space. We will discuss Breenae's childhood, college experience, early career, and pivoting into cybersecurity! If you enjoyed this episode please share it out. #cybersecurity #productmanagement #blackwomen

Breenae Bio: Breenae is an engineer with a passion for diversity and inclusion. Growing up, she excelled at math and science but often questioned her abilities because she didn’t see other girls who shared her interests. Despite the lack of representation, with the support of her family and teachers, she found the strength to take the road less traveled. After receiving her degree from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and starting a career in IT, she quickly noticed that the lack of diversity in STEM/STEAM was still a serious issue. This fueled her desire to make a difference. Today, her mission is to bridge the gender and diversity gap in STEM/STEAM through early exposure and education.

What's going on everyone!! In this episode of The Techtual Talk, Shamika aka the bougieblerd joins the show to talk about the NBA finals, her tech background, finances, and what it's like doing cyber threat intelligence.

Shamika was born & raised in Oakland, CA. Shamika has worked in tech/finance for almost 10 years but about 4 years in cybersecurity. She took a pretty non traditional path into tech. She doesn't have a college degree, and she doesn't code. Shamika is currently a cyber threat intelligence analyst working at Twilio, a company that provides programmable communications APIs.

Shamika says, "I've only been in threat intelligence for about 6 months, but I really love this domain. Cyber criminals are hilarious, and I enjoy tracking current and emerging threats."

In this episode our special guest Deirra Footman joins us of Let’s Talk Tech: Deirra discovered her passion for Science and Technology at a young age growing up in Baltimore, Maryland. As a child, she spent her downtime researching how various technologies worked. She always enjoyed taking things apart to figure out how they worked. That curiosity allowed her to build her analytical and problem-solving skills. Deirra’s love for computer technology and thirst for knowledge led her to enroll in the Cisco Network Academy in High School. This opportunity opened the door to the world of Computer Networking and Information Security. Her passion for the field led her to complete additional self-study and excel in the course and landed her an internship with the Baltimore City Public School District in her Senior Year. This internship served as the launchpad for a lucrative career (https://deirrajfootman.com).

In this episode we are joinged by Samara Williams who runs Threat Operations, Vulnerability Management, and Threat Intellignece at Cardinal health. We discuss a multitude of topics in the realm of cybersecurity.

Samara grew up in a blended family in San Antonio, Texas. Throughout most of her childhood and a couple of years in college she played basketball, it was her life (RIP Kobe). After moving on from the “ball is life” mentality, she grew an affinity for technology. This stemmed from being the Limewire expert in the house. She hooked up the family with whatever music they desired, while also loading the home computer with all kinds of malware goodies. Deciding on a career path was easy! After completing a degree in Information Technology with a specialization in Cybersecurity, Samara moved from San Antonio, TX to Columbus, OH to pursue a Cybersecurity career. Samara was a rotation analyst in a program where she had the opportunity to rotate through seven companies headquartered in Columbus to learn from their Cyber Security program. Currently, Samara works in Cyber Threat Intelligence, collecting and analyzing a wide range of threats to a wide range of industries. She specializes in MITRE ATT&CK, threat actor reporting, fostering relationships with other security partners, as well as process design and development.

Samara grew up in a blended family in San Antonio, Texas. Throughout most of her childhood and a couple of years in college she played basketball, it was her life (RIP Kobe). After moving on from the “ball is life” mentality, she grew an affinity for technology. This stemmed from being the Limewire expert in the house. She hooked up the family with whatever music they desired, while also loading the home computer with all kinds of malware goodies. Deciding on a career path was easy! After completing a degree in Information Technology with a specialization in Cybersecurity, Samara moved from San Antonio, TX to Columbus, OH to pursue a Cybersecurity career. Samara was a rotation analyst in a program where she had the opportunity to rotate through seven companies headquartered in Columbus to learn from their Cyber Security program. Currently, Samara works in Cyber Threat Intelligence, collecting and analyzing a wide range of threats to a wide range of industries. She specializes in MITRE ATT&CK, threat actor reporting, fostering relationships with other security partners, as well as process design and development.

In this episode our special guest Deirra Footman joins us of Let’s Talk Tech: Deirra discovered her passion for Science and Technology at a young age growing up in Baltimore, Maryland. As a child, she spent her downtime researching how various technologies worked. She always enjoyed taking things apart to figure out how they worked. That curiosity allowed her to build her analytical and problem-solving skills. Deirra’s love for computer technology and thirst for knowledge led her to enroll in the Cisco Network Academy in High School. This opportunity opened the door to the world of Computer Networking and Information Security. Her passion for the field led her to complete additional self-study and excel in the course and landed her an internship with the Baltimore City Public School District in her Senior Year. This internship served as the launchpad for a lucrative career (https://deirrajfootman.com).
