Colorado = Security Podcast

For full show notes, visit: https://www.colorado-security.com/home/2017/2/17/220-podcast-show-notes Survived another year of RSA Alex and Robb spent the last week in San Francisco for RSA conference. Lots of great learning, networking and socializing went on. Proud to say that I ran into MANY of the local Colorado security crew out in San Francisco. We were well represented.  This week's episode is available on Soundcloud, iTunes and the Google Play store. Reach out with any questions or comments to info@colorado-security.com Feature interview: This week Alex sat down with Don Mapes, Director of Internal Audit at Triangle Petroleum and President of ISACA Denver. ISACA's Denver chapter has consistently brought high quality audit, compliance and risk training and networking to the Denver area since the 1970's. Yes, that long.  Don shares about his 20+ years experience helping grow the security community in Colorado, talks about programs and community, and shares about the CyberPatriot and CyberGirls programs in our area.

For all the functional links, to go: www.colorado-security.com/home/2017/2/…t-show-notes Week two in the books Well, the podcast for 2/6 was a bit rough (true fact - we got to record the whole newscast for the first podcast twice, due to technical difficulties). But this week went a lot smoother. We're looking forward to getting your feedback on what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see added. Based on last week's feedback, this week we've added a summary of interesting jobs we've seen posted. As always, this week's episode is available on Soundcloud page here. But we're now also listed on iTunes and Google Play. Reach out with any questions or comments to info@colorado-security.com Feature interview: This week Alex and Robb sat down with Drew Labbo, CISO at Denver Health. Drew told us about his career, how he got into security, how he got such a great job, and what keeps him busy at work. If you don't know Drew, I recommend you reach out. He's a fine fellow.
