Customer Reviews
Excellent! (From an interviewee)
I got to work with Perry on the “Creativity for Non-Creatives” episode, and I was struck with how insightful his questions are, how curious he is, and how much care he puts into the process. In addition, he’s got a great presence and top-notch production values.
Informative, Educational & Inspirational
Perry Carpenter does it again! The author of two awesome books (they’re on Amazon) he provides incredible insights in security culture, human behaviors and what it takes to secure your organization and personal lives! This is worth an hour of your time whenever it is released! You won’t be disappointed! That and his sound guy Carl is a good source of laughs!!
Informative and engaging
8th Layer Insights is a genuinely engaging, entertaining, and insightful podcast. I share episodes from time to time with my non-cyber security interested friends simply because of the sheer amount of quality information that Perry Carpenter provides. This is an invaluable podcast to anyone who is pursuing creating a ‘culture’ in work, is in the education field, and even more for those in the ‘security awareness’ community.
