7 Minute Security show

Summary: <p>Coming up on <strong>Tuesday, January 22</strong> I'll be doing a Webinar with Netwrix called <a>4 Ways Your Organization Can Be Hacked</a>. It features a Billy Madison theme and pits evil Eric Gordon against sysadmin Billy Madison. Hope you'll join us - it'll be fun!</p> <p>Today I'm pleased to welcome Amber Boone to the program! She is an awareness builder for a cybersecurity vendor (<em>insert dramatic music!</em>), and Amber was gracious enough to help me pilot a new style of interview called <a href="https://7ms.us/7mi/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">7 Minute Interviews with 7MS</a>. </p> <p>I basically asked Amber a "serious" question about security, then a goofy one, then another serious, then another goofy...and so on and so forth until the 7 minutes was up.</p> <p>Amber answered important questions such as:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Would she rather fight 100 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized ducks?</p> </li> <li> <p>What basic security effort could orgs address without investing a huge amount of dollars and effort?</p> </li> <li> <p>Would she rather be a giant hamster or a tiny rhinoceros?</p> </li> </ul><p>If you'd like to check out what Amber's doing online, check out her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberboone/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, her side project <a href="https://www.yourlegacies.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">YourLegacies.com</a> or follow Amber on <a href="https://twitter.com/thruthetrees11" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p> <p>Interested in doing a 7 minute interview with 7MS?
