In our latest episode of Security Nation, we talk with Katie Ledoux about her unconventional journey into the cybersecurity industry—from her marketing agency days to her time at Rapid7, to her current role as Head of Information Security at Starburst Data. Katie talks about imposter syndrome, what it was like to "start over" in her career,  the importance of contributions from non-technical roles—and, of course, what she would want to see out of a "Hackers" sequel.Stick around for our Rapid Rundown, where it's "All Exchange, all the time," in the wake of Microsoft's four critical bugs. Tod and Jen also discuss the recent Github controversy surrounding the ban of exploit code.
