Sara Avery is a Regional Sales Manager at Zscaler. She has held various positions over the past 20 years in the Information Technology field and discovered her passion for information security 15 years ago. Her career has largely been spent in sales and account management with a laser focus on my customer's success. Sara's tenured experience in cybersecurity has given her a strong understanding of the complex technology and intelligence required to keep enterprises secure.From a young age, she was raised to be a strong female and leader. Her mother, along with other trailblazing women, campaigned to start the Equal Rights Amendment in Colorado in the early 1970s. With a passion for helping others, Sara wanted to start a group that would help, mentor, learn and guide women and founded Women in Cyber Security, ISSA Denver. Her vision was to find a way to inspire and support women in all areas of information security, as well as develop and mentor the younger female generation for the future of the dynamic and ever-changing world of information security.In this episode, we discuss her early start with Y2K, why she helped start Women In Security with the Denver ISSA chapter, the evolution of communications with workstyles, getting young girls into STEM, how she is championing equality at work, dealing with gaslighting, mansplaining, and microaggressions, removing the stigma of "the hacker," and so much more!Where you can find Sara:LinkedInWomen In Security - ISSA Denver

#117 – Sara Avery: Go After What You Want

There is “no one way” to start and stay in the field of cyber security. Whether you are involved from the military, law enforcement, consulting, or IT services, it doesn’t matter. I have had countless discussions for years with other professionals online, at conferences, or over drinks, which have changed the way I think about cyber security. That is where this podcast comes in. What if I can capture those moments and frank discussions? I want to share the stories from other cyber security leaders and influencers so everyone can learn from their respective journeys and challenges. Why did they take the path they did? Who were their mentors? How did they tackle some of their biggest career challenges? By hearing how the industry leaders and influencers got to where they are and how they overcame some of the problems they faced, I hope to shed light on the path for other professionals. I will discover what motivates them, explore their journey in cyber security, and discuss where they think the industry is going.

Stunning interviews with Cybersecurity thought leaders!

#003 – Lenny Zeltser: You Can Never Know Everything

This is a solo episode between interviews.I have been doing IT and security consulting for a long time. Over this time, I have noticed a few things that are worth noting when hiring a security consultant. In fact, I would say until you perform some basics and perform some due diligence on your own, don't hire me or any other security consultant. Yes, this seems a little counter intuitive for me to say, "Don't hire me," but there are many common elements I see in environment after environment both on the proactive and responsive engagements.This episode will touch on some of these elements and is by no means all inclusive.The take away is to get to know thy self and do your home work!

Brian Martin

Brian Martin (a.k.a. Jericho) has been poking about the hacker and security scene for over 22 years, building valuable skills such as skepticism and anger management. As a hacker-turned-security whore, Jericho has a great perspective to offer an unsolicited opinion on just about any security topic. A long-time advocate of advancing the field, sometimes by any means necessary, he thinks the idea of ‘forward-thinking’ is quaint; we’re supposed to be thinking that way all the time. No degree, no certifications, just the willingness to say things many in this dismal industry are thinking, but unwilling to say themselves. He remains a champion of security industry integrity and small misunderstood creatures. In this episode, we discuss starting as a phreak and phone systems, BBS hacking forums, sharing knowledge, calling people out, cybersecurity skill shortages, understanding the adversaries mindset, PCI compliance, and so much more.
