Another fantastic episode, full of industry insights from Becky Pinkard who has an extensive career within InfoSec and we hear exactly what it's like to work through a very male-dominated career path from Security Analyst right through to making it as a CISO for a leading Bank. Becky has worked in some awesome roles within major global companies; having developed threat monitoring teams at Barclays, leading the Global Security Operations team at Blackberry, developing Operational Cyber Threat Intelligence teams at Digital Shadows and also spending over 14 years with SANS - helping train and develop others in the field. I loved the key takeaway from this episode = PERSISTENCE. Becky has shown exactly what hard work, focus and persistence can achieve in this industry. And I also love the fact that even as a CISO, Becky still focuses on learning and development, constantly investing in her knowledge and inspiring others to do the same.A really insightful episode, we thank Becky for taking the time to join us and share her mindset with you all!

Episode #5 - InfoSec Journeys with Becky Pinkard

Victoria Baines

(2019-07-30): law enforcement, (cyber)crime, empowerment [00:25:28] "When I worked at Europol, I was the only female team leader out of nine. Now I go and speak at infosec events where I won't be the youngest female person in the room anymore. That is absolutely fantastic." The first episode of the second season of The Furry Hats Podcast we started big with two fantastic guests: Becky Pinkard and Dr. Victoria Baines. Becky is a cyber security executive and published author, as well as co-found of ‘We Empower Diversity in Start-ups’. Vick is a former law enforcement intelligence analyst with experience in investingating cybercrime and child exploitation, currently an independent researcher. Together they host the Cyber Warrior Princess podcast (Apple, SoundCloud). Some topic covered:  backgrounds, how they started and got where they are, emotional affects of working with child abuse cases for a long period of time Twitter, women in infosec and representation and discrimination random segway into Stu talking about how he looks like Boris Johnson, working at Facebook, social media working with governments and transpancy reports, advice about getting into law enforcement.  If that did not convince you, here's more:  [00:09:30] So my PHD is in classic literature. So Roman satire is my subject which like the only way I can describe this is it's like private eye, but two thousand years old but in Latin. [00:12:32] When I got to Europol, I was suddenly branded as the person who knew about online stuff and could write reports about online stuff. So almost despite myself, I ended up writing the first SOCTA, which was the first EU threat assessment on cybercrime. [00:48:20] What was it like working at Facebook? So when I first got there, it was a bit like a breath of fresh air. Someone from law enforcement asked me, 'oh, what's it like working on the dark side?' [01:06:22] I used to be regularly contacted by law enforcement agencies and lots of different countries who would say 'oh, we've suddenly lost access to our Facebook page and (...) you urgently need to reactivate it' like it was my fault.
