November 1, 2024: The "end" of Cybersecurity Awareness Month - A Special Friday Op-Ed

Apologies on the audio quality on this episode as I did this one remotely.  Back to normal on Monday.
This Op-Ed is a look at Cybersecurity Awareness Month, its conclusion, and the future.

October 30, 2024 - My Russian Experience

As mentioned in the previous episode, I took several trips to Russia as an FBI Agent. With the news a little slow today, I give a glimpse into that experience.
It's hard to pack it all in in less than 15 minutes, but I do hit some of the highlights and sadly leave out some. Maybe I can revisit it in the future.
Give a listen, tell a friend.
