What do national defense, commercial innovation, artificial intelligence, bad ass drones, and VR goggles all have in common?  Yes, they are all tech we might trust.  But, if you answered “Palmer Luckey, the inventor and entrepreneur”, we would be so happy – and impressed.  In this episode we recast a chat with Palmer, from our innovation garage, – to talk about… innovation.  

Palmer has challenged the defense industrial base to innovate better and faster.  We’ll dig into machine learning, sensor fusion, the struggle for world domination, and why jumping directly from high school to the world of high tech may be a great approach for people who want to make a difference.

Speakers:

Palmer Luckey, Founder, Anduril Industries
Greg Reeder (host) - VP of Marketing for NS2

In this episode we take a deep dive with two experts in the field of IT and innovation – Tim Hoechst and Nick Sinai. We cover a lot of ground – from policy to perspectives on what it means to tackle cyber security, through Zero Trust.  We also welcome a new character to the show – Dr. Decoder.  If you’ve ever been in a meeting where the acronyms fly around a bit too much, you need a guy who can break down all the terms, Barney-style.  Our Dr. Decoder is that guy.  Listen in for his “interruptions” and some good scoop on how NOT trusting can be a good thing.

Speakers:
Nick Sinai - Senior Advisor/Venture Partner, Insight Partners
Tim Hoechst - Chairman, NS2 Advisory Board
Greg Reeder (host) - VP of Marketing for NS2
Brian Paget (host) - CSO of NS2

Does your IT staff wash their hands?  Wait, no – the question was supposed to ask: do you have good cyber hygiene?  At a minimum, this means setting up solid controls and processes to thwart basic hacking attempts. If not done right, attackers can get in, set up ransomware, and demand we stop eating burgers or getting fuel, or worse.

In part two of this podcast, we bring aboard Travis Barlow, Senior Vice President of GoSecure.  He provides insight and advice from the front lines of Managed Detection and Response. With Travis, we’ll unpack how to root out advanced cyber attackers and tackle cyber emergencies across multiple industries.
