An excellent, informative show for cyber professionals

I’ve been listening to this show for over a year and it’s one of my favourites.

I really enjoy the level of detail and the calibre of guest speakers that Karissa has on her show.

I’d think anyone, in any role, or at any level working in IT or CyberSecurity would enjoy this podcast!
