The Cybersecurity Evangelist: Ep 22 – See Yourself in Cyber, the Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022 Edition with Chris Foulon

13 October 2022 Gate 15

By Jennifer Lyn Walker, The Cybersecurity Evangelist

Please enjoy this month’s episode of The Gate 15 podcast on Anchor, Spotify, Apple, Google, as well as other locations accessible via the Anchor link or almost anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts.

The Cybersecurity Evangelist is back this month with a focus on, none other than, Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022! I started with a call out to cyber folks who have been giving  Cybersecurity Awareness Month a hard time. Noting that it’s not for  those of us who live and breathe cyber. And I contend Cybersecurity  Awareness Month is a great campaign to help organizations with  cybersecurity awareness and training curriculum – especially the smaller  organizations who likely don’t have IT, let alone cybersecurity staff.

So, for Episode 22 I started with a quick Cybersecurity Awareness  Month refresher, including the 2022 theme – See Yourself in Cyber –  along with the four behaviors focusing on the “people” part of  cybersecurity, including:

    Enabling multi-factor authentication

    Using strong passwords (and a password manager)

    Updating software

    Recognizing and reporting phishing

However, the crux of this episode in addressing Cybersecurity  Awareness Month really focuses on the premise of what I strive for TCE  to be – “the cybersecurity podcast for everyone” and I thought it would  be fun to take the literal perspective on Cybersecurity Awareness  Month’s “See Yourself in Cyber.” So I invited Christophe Foulon, the co-host of the Breaking into Cybersecurity podcast. So, you could say this is a podcast about a podcast! The Breaking into Cybersecurity podcast  is where Chris and his co-host Renee Small talk to individuals about  what they did before they broke in cybersecurity along with why and how  they did it and how we “need a whole human approach to cybersecurity” including marketing, policy, teachers, and more! Breaking into Cybersecurity has over 400 episodes, so there is definitely something for everyone there.
