In this episode of The TechTual Talk, hosts HD and Cybershortieee alongside guests Justice, beforethebillions, Chris O, and Lee delve into the latest headlines and trends in the tech industry. We kick things off discussing JP Morgan's controversial decision to mandate full in-office attendance for employees, despite the pushback and potential unionization talks that have sparked among the frustrated staff.

Next, we shift gears to TikTok's potential ban and its implications for content creators who have built their livelihoods on the platform. From cyber security concerns to the viability of alternatives like Lemon8, our experts dissect the layers beneath the headlines.

We also explore President Joe Biden's latest executive order aimed at bolstering U.S. cyber defenses amid escalating cyber threats from foreign adversaries. As always, practical career advice rounds out the discussion, including insights into breaking into the cyber security field, leveraging certifications effectively, and the surprising crossover skills from IT support roles.

And just when you thought it couldn't get more insightful, we take listener questions live, offering real-time career coaching and problem-solving for those keen to thrive in the tech industry. All this and more on this jam-packed episode of The TechTual Talk.

Tune in as we discuss firsthand experiences in the industry, the challenges of breaking into cybersecurity, the importance of soft skills, and the nuances of workplace culture at prestigious firms like EY and Deloitte. We’ll also tackle broader societal themes, from the undervaluation of American engineers to the benefits and drawbacks of business travel.

With rich insights and personal anecdotes, this episode promises a comprehensive look at the forces shaping the future of the tech industry. So sit back, relax, and get ready for an engaging conversation that spans from technical prowess to cultural influences and everything in between.

Hi there, welcome to The Techtual Talk! I'm your host Henri and today we have a very special guest joining us - Aria, also known as "AD" on Twitter where she shares invaluable insights about being a Cybersecurity Consultant in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as job search strategies.

Aria has a fascinating multifaceted background in GRC. She started her career as a fraud analyst at American Express before transitioning into compliance and risk after working on an impactful project involving investigation and legal action against fraud perpetrators. Determined to excel in GRC, Aria embarked on an intense self-learning journey - accessing a grant program for cybersecurity certifications, completing it, and landing a role as a GRC analyst.

In our conversation today, Aria breaks down the critical components of an effective risk assessment process. She emphasizes the importance of control determination, risk level assessment, prioritizing risks, and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. Aria also provides real-world examples illustrating significant business risks like cyber attacks, ransomware, phishing and employee vulnerabilities.

We dive into the ongoing debate around certifications versus degrees for GRC job applications.

Start your GRC Career with TechPreneurs Club

Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Welcome back to The TechTual Talk. This is episode 115, and today, it's all about "Get In GRc." I'm Henri, your guide through the tech jungle, and boy, do we have a treat for you!

Joining us is the super savvy Jordanne, who's mastered the game of GRC, and she's here to spill all the tea. From her accidental dive into the world of PCI compliance right out of college, we're going deep into how our past gigs and college majors turned out to be the GPS for our careers.

We'll be chatting about those lightbulb moments that made us think differently about making bank, and how we went from fresh-faced college kids to big kids playing in the tech sandbox.

Jordanne's going to drop some truth bombs about a job interview that was more like a bad quiz show and how certs alone aren't the golden ticket in our world. And get this—we'll talk about using the good ol' boob tube to make cyber stuff stick in people's brains easier.

We're not just going to hang out on the surface; we're going to go deep into the serious biz, like the importance of stepping up for yourself, never hitting pause on learning, and why you've got to work those soft skills like a boss.

Plus, we've got the scoop on what's scary in data privacy, the rise of deep fakes, and how to armor up against the cyber baddies that keep changing their stripes. If you're curious about PCI compliance or climbing the GRC ladder, Jordanne's lived to tell the tale.

We're all about sharing that good karma, so we've got a code for a free 14-day trial with Aura to keep your data on lockdown. And yeah, we'll remind you: Don't go wild with that tax return—invest in your tech future instead!

So, come hang with us. It's going to be a laid-back chat with solid gold info, whether you're just breaking into tech or you're a walking IT encyclopedia. Time to Get In GRc with The TechTual Talk. And remember, we're all about keeping it real. Catch you in a sec!

66: The Truth about IT Helpdesk and Cybersecurity

The TechTual Talk — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to another episode of The TechTual Talk. This episode will focus on the truth about IT helpdesk and its correlation with cybersecurity. Nigel joins the show today to talk about his early career, transitioning from helpdesk to Cyber Threat Intelligence/vulnerability management in 10 months, A Day in the Life of a cyber threat intelligence analyst, salary expectations and much more.
If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment below. #helpdesk #threatintelligence #vulnerabilitymanagement

Until 2021 Nigel worked as an IT consultant, and gained skills in risk management/mitigation strategies and network administration. It’s through these experiences he learned about cybersecurity, and recognized that this was a career path he was passionate about. Though he's worked hard to develop his cybersecurity skills, Nigel recognize that his time spent as an IT consultant will always provide him with a beneficial perspective in the Cybersecurity world. He intends to carry this with him and share this combination of technical skills into my next role. During Nigel's time at Fullstack Academy’s Cybersecurity bootcamp, he gained experience as a Cybersecurity Analyst and was successful in developing strong networking skills and an understanding of the OSI model, network protocols, and ports. Learning the fundamentals of general security practices, NIST standards, and information security management has provided him with the foundation of technical skills he's certain will aid him in this role. After successfully completing his courses with Fullstack Academy’ he continued his studies through a variety of online simulations. He earned the security plus and one month later acquired his first security position as a security analyst II in threat intelligence and vulnerability management.

65: What does a Cybersecurity Product Manager do at Amazon?

The TechTual Talk — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Welcome Back to The TechTual Talk Podcast! Joining us today is the lovely Breenae Washington , she is a Cybersecurity Product Manager , an author, and an influencer! She mixes in our culture while also letting black women know they belong in this space. We will discuss Breenae's childhood, college experience, early career, and pivoting into cybersecurity! If you enjoyed this episode please share it out. #cybersecurity #productmanagement #blackwomen

Breenae Bio: Breenae is an engineer with a passion for diversity and inclusion. Growing up, she excelled at math and science but often questioned her abilities because she didn’t see other girls who shared her interests. Despite the lack of representation, with the support of her family and teachers, she found the strength to take the road less traveled. After receiving her degree from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and starting a career in IT, she quickly noticed that the lack of diversity in STEM/STEAM was still a serious issue. This fueled her desire to make a difference. Today, her mission is to bridge the gender and diversity gap in STEM/STEAM through early exposure and education.

10: You charge too much!

The TechTual Talk — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 22:00:00 +0000

In this episode our special guest Deirra Footman joins us of Let’s Talk Tech: Deirra discovered her passion for Science and Technology at a young age growing up in Baltimore, Maryland. As a child, she spent her downtime researching how various technologies worked. She always enjoyed taking things apart to figure out how they worked. That curiosity allowed her to build her analytical and problem-solving skills. Deirra’s love for computer technology and thirst for knowledge led her to enroll in the Cisco Network Academy in High School. This opportunity opened the door to the world of Computer Networking and Information Security. Her passion for the field led her to complete additional self-study and excel in the course and landed her an internship with the Baltimore City Public School District in her Senior Year. This internship served as the launchpad for a lucrative career (https://deirrajfootman.com).

30: Lets Talk about Threat Operations, Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Management

The TechTual Talk — Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000

https://techtualconsulting.start.page

In this episode we are joinged by Samara Williams who runs Threat Operations, Vulnerability Management, and Threat Intellignece at Cardinal health. We discuss a multitude of topics in the realm of cybersecurity.

Samara grew up in a blended family in San Antonio, Texas. Throughout most of her childhood and a couple of years in college she played basketball, it was her life (RIP Kobe). After moving on from the “ball is life” mentality, she grew an affinity for technology. This stemmed from being the Limewire expert in the house. She hooked up the family with whatever music they desired, while also loading the home computer with all kinds of malware goodies. Deciding on a career path was easy! After completing a degree in Information Technology with a specialization in Cybersecurity, Samara moved from San Antonio, TX to Columbus, OH to pursue a Cybersecurity career. Samara was a rotation analyst in a program where she had the opportunity to rotate through seven companies headquartered in Columbus to learn from their Cyber Security program. Currently, Samara works in Cyber Threat Intelligence, collecting and analyzing a wide range of threats to a wide range of industries. She specializes in MITRE ATT&CK, threat actor reporting, fostering relationships with other security partners, as well as process design and development.
