Lukas Burzynski is one of those high school students that just wows you from the very start.  Lukas is a 4.65 student, a tutor, a volunteer and it seems, and all around good person.

Lukas found out about cybersecurity through a Career Advanced Program Studies program and recently participated in a nationwide CTF with some United States Air Force Cyber officers.

We speak with Lukas, Matt Evans and Devon Overstreet and we had a great conversation.  This young man will be a great recruit for many of our members.

The Alliance is always looking for ways to welcome new talent into the industry and we would like to thank George Sconyers for his efforts in tackling the #talentgap.

Thank you as well to CyberUp, the cyber non profit that helped organize the event!

Jitender Arora (Jit) is the Chief Information Security Officer for the UK in Deloitte. 

The Alliance is elated that Jitender has accepted an offer to join our advisory board and in this conversation, we discuss Jit’s career path, his approach to building strong teams and his passion for giving back to the industry.  

Jit is living the Alliance Mission every year by speaking at primary, secondary and university level schools to encourage others to pursue the career path.

Roger Hale, Chief Security Officer for BigID and long time supporter of the Alliance joins the podcast to preview an upcoming webinar, “Justifying Your Security Budget During Uncertain Times”

Roger has great insight on what security organizations and enterprises should be thinking about during a wildly unpredictable time.

We really enjoyed this conversation and we know you will to.

The Security Advisor Alliance is excited to announce the release of it's Cyber Futures Program, a virtual mentorship mobile app aimed at expanding the reach of our Converge Tour Program.  

Ann Johsnon, CVP of Cybersecurity Solutions Group at Microsoft and Ron Green, EVP and CSO at Mastercard join the Alliance Podcast to discuss the Cyber Talent Initiative.  

This program brings together the private and public sectors of the United States and creates a direct pathway to employment in the information security industry.

We discuss the #talentgap, its impact on both private and public sector jobs, who qualifies for the program, what kind of assistance is provided and much more.

Ron and Ann both serve on the Alliance Board of Directors and prove just why global organizations like Microsoft and Mastercard chose them as leaders.
