Pt. 2: Please close the cyber doors
September 20, 2021 09:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBDoes your IT staff wash their hands? Wait, no – the question was supposed to ask: do you have good cyber hygiene? At a minimum, this means setting up solid controls and processes to thwart basic hacking attempts. If not done right, attackers can get in, set up ransomware, and demand we stop eating burgers or getting fuel, or worse. In part two of this podcast, we bring aboard Travis Barlow, Senior Vice President of GoSecure. He provides insight and advice from the front lines...

Does It Make “Cents” To Trust Our Money?
February 04, 2021 03:13 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBListen in, if you use coins, collect coins, or need a little change in your routine. Every year, the U.S. Mint produces and distributes billions of coins across the United States. But, making and circulating money is just one part of a complex cycle that we all trust, when it comes to our economy. The U.S. Mint relies on, and puts trust in, myriad other technologies to support the ecosystem of coins: from secure supply chains, to monetary policy, data exchanges, banks, aggregat...

October 31, 2020 01:40 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBWill making a TikTok video with my Huawei phone from a government office land me in policy jail? Open source code is developed all over the world.
