We’ve come a long way since computers took up the size of a room, and with every new advancement, from the smartwatch to the internet itself there have always been people who have loved tech more than anyone else.
When answering the phone they skip the traditional ‘hello’ or ‘hi’, resorting instead to their mantra, ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’
These people have gone by many names over the decades, but they are consistent in their calling. IT. They work in the shadows, diligently keeping operations from going dark.
These everyday heroes..... are known as Heroes of IT

S2E8: Dr. Eric Cole - Cybersecurity Consultant and Virtual CISO
Dr. Eric Cole has a life story that sounds like it should be a movie. He starts out cutting his teeth on cybersecurity for the CIA, when he, get this, decides Cyber Offense is boring since there is always a way to break in. He goes on to become Sr VP and CTO of McAfee, Chief Scientist at Lockheed Martin and even consults on Cyber Security for Bill and Melinda Gates and family as well as many fortune 500 companies.
Join us as we discuss his amazing career, when is the right time to make a move professionally, cyber hygiene, his experience in the CIA, and of course what it's like working with Bill and Melinda Gates.
