    Marvin Wheeler on Merging MDR with Artificial Intelligence

    In this episode Marvin Wheeler and I discuss the recent merger of Cybraics, an AI company with extremely advanced threat detection technology that came out of a DARPA project and SilverSky, a Managed Detection and Response company.  While you normally see big hardware and software companies scooping up companies with unique technology, this was a little different.  I think it's a trend that you will continue to see.  Marvin has great insight into where things are going in cyber and also what qualities are important to advance your career.  Enjoy!    Cybraics: https://www.cybraics.com/ SilverSky https://www.silversky.com/ Connect with Marvin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvinwheeler/

    Computing at the Edge

    People are finding out that moving things into the cloud isn't always the right answer.  Tom is an exceptional technologist and we discuss how to take the AI processing to the data when it may not be technically possible or feasible to push it to the cloud.  I have wanted to have him on the podcast for months and we were finally able to lock down a time to chat.  If you want to know where technology is going, this is a great episode to listen to.  Tom and his team are at the very pointy end of solving some really tough and cool compute problems.  We didn't talk about it on this episode but whenever we catch up we usually talk about ultra endurance events and running.  Tom has been on some crazy endurance adventures that would blow your mind.  I'm saving that discussion for another podcast someday... I always learn a ton from these podcasts and I know you will as well.   You can find more about Tom here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-mays-b23339a6/ The NodeWeaver website has some great information, worth spending some time there just to see what they are up to! https://nodeweaver.eu/

    In recent years, encryption has become an essential tool for cybersecurity and data protection. It’s also one of the most important aspects of any business today - especially when it comes to cloud databases.

There are many different types of encryption methods, but they all use similar principles, which Jon will cover in-depth in this episode.

    Post Breach Remediation

    Thomas is the Director of Post Breach Remediation with Kivu consulting.  We have a great discussion about an incident we worked together and what happens after the breach.   It's pretty interesting when big attacks happens, it's not always the company names you hear about in the news that are the responding teams. Companies like Kivu are brought in for some of the biggest breaches out there, many times by an insurance company, or outside legal counsel when things are really bad. It was great to catch up with Thomas and in this episode you will learn about how incidents get cleaned up after the attack. You can find Thomas on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-longhurst-208b9553/ Kivu Consulting https://kivuconsulting.com/ Thomas recently launched a podcast called The Cyber Zone over on youtube where they make cyber issues understandable to everyone, which is not an easy task!  Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCndWz1G-nq6nCj10YBBHiBA

    Cyber Fraud Detection to Financial Startup

    If you are thinking of starting a company or a new founder, you quickly learn that there are lots of things to do that don't involve working on your technology or your big idea.  It can quickly become a problem if you don't have the tools that you need to run your startup. Greg Miaskiewicz started Capbase and solved the above problem after being a successful founder and seeing a bunch of issues that other founders have when starting companies.  Capbase is a startup building legal/financial tools for founders to setup and build their companies, from incorporation to IPO. Prior to Capbase, Greg built a cybersecurity company using some unique (and funny) methods to capture data, and shared some great knowledge on the podcast. Founders or future founders check out Capbase: https://capbase.com/ Connect with Greg on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miaskiewicz/ Connect with Robert on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertrounsavall/
