Episode Notes

TODAY’S GUEST

We’re very happy to have George Werbacher, Director of Information Security at Live Oak Bank on the show.

We had a wide-ranging discussion, but George summed-up the challenge of dealing with the continuing emergence of new technologies: “The existential crisis from a security standpoint is going to be, are we going to let all this transformative stuff take away our attention from what’s foundational”

If you would like to be a guest on the show, let us know! We are always interested in hearing from cyber security 'sidekicks' - the CISO's, engineers, IT directors and the many others on the cyber frontlines.
