THE DAY BEFORE MONDAY Risk Analyst Alaura Skiff with Deb Bond of Avertium

In this episode, we had mentor/mentee pair, Deb Bond (Avertium) and Alaura Skiff, in studio to talk career management and the importance of mentoring to create a more fulfilling career. Increased confidence, more strategic thinking, and even having a mentor/mentee outside of your own company defines this fun conversation with this dynamic duo.

Some of the themes were…why to speak up in meetings, when to leave a bad position, how to identify a potentially great organization, how to identify a good mentor/mentee, and the best way to ask someone to be your mentor. Navigating certain industries can be taxing especially if you don’t have a powerful partner in your corner cheering you on every step of the way.

By the way, one of these women restores classic cars and one shoots arrows in armor. I can’t wait for you to find out which is which.

Alaura Skiff went to ASU West originally to do networking and programming, but fell in love with governance risk and compliance.

She was lucky enough to have a professor who saw her potential in the security field and had her become an RSA security scholar and helped her land the job she’s in now, as a Risk Analyst.

Avertium focuses its comprehensive expertise on supporting mid-to-large enterprises, making it one of the largest managed cybersecurity services companies focused on this market.

Avertium is a leading provider of managed cybersecurity services with more than 150 employees and growing, and security operations centers in Arizona and Tennessee, the company serves more than 1,000 customers in the retail, healthcare, hospitality, financial services, manufacturing and government sectors.

Deb Bond is a QSA, CISM, CISA, CISSP and Microsoft Certified Professional with over 20 years of experience in the industry overseeing PCI, SOC, and FTC compliance audits, Identity and Access Management, Third Party Management, internal risk assessments, third-party risk, and helping organizations to build and mature their governance, risk and compliance functions.

When she is not working, Deb is a console gamer who enjoys playing Destiny online with family and friends, as well as playing ‘sherpa’ to newcomers to the game, helping them learn the ropes in a safe environment.

When she is not gaming with family and friends, she and her husband work together to build and restore old cars as a hobby. She has a fully built show truck which she takes to custom car shows around the state and occasionally out of state.

Connect with Deb on LinkedIn.

Michael J. Daugherty/LabMD and The Cyber Education Foundation

Mike Daugherty is the CEO of LabMD, a cancer testing laboratory. He has spent most of the last decade defending his company against charges that it had deficient cyber-security practices. The early years of his entering and fighting Washington, DC, are recorded in his book “The Devil Inside the Beltway”. In so doing, he has become the only litigant to challenge the basic authority that underlies more than 200 enforcement actions relating to cyber-security and online privacy that the FTC has brought over the past 15 years. Every one of the over 200 litigants before him, including some of the largest companies in the world, have settled with the FTC, creating an unquestioned and untested belief that the FTC has broad authority to regulate in these areas. On June 6, 2018, he prevailed. In so doing, he toppled key pillars of the FTC’s cyber-security and online privacy edifice, successfully exposing and challenging The Administrative State.

SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA: Olivia Rose Jenkins with QloudSecure

SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA: Olivia Rose Jenkins with QloudSecure

00:00 /

On this episode of “On the Money”, host Joe Moss talks to Olivia Rose Jenkins from QloudSecure about how cyber threats and online security breaches can affect a small business and how to monitor them.

Olivia Rose Jenkins/QloudSecure

QloudSecure was founded by Olivia Rose Jenkins in 2016 to address the concerns of law firms about exposure to the risks of data breaches, leakage, theft and subsequent liabilities. QloudSecure is a technology consulting services company, offering law firms the strategy, guidance and support they need to migrate to, and continually to successfully operate on, a centralized cloud computing infrastructure. This type of infrastructure offers a turn-key solution for law firms’ explicit needs.

Olivia has over 15 years’ experience in the cybersecurity field with the last ten years as a consultant helping organizations achieve and maintain best security practices to safeguard their assets and comply with regulatory and industry requirements. A love of using technology as an enabler for clients to achieve and exceed their business goals led to an interest in cloud computing.

One of the foremost concerns of a law firm is the threats of exposure, and understandably so due to the following reasons:

• Legacy IT systems are widely in use.

• Data has become more disparate across multiple locations and systems.

• Employees blur the lines between personal and corporate technologies.

• Security awareness is lacking among firm employees and third-parties

• There is a shortage of qualified IT staff to manage it all.

These issues are also very present at any type of small business.

QloudSecure has a proprietary six step process to help you close gaps for good called QloudPrint. It includes discovering your risk, assessing the potential business impact, designing a plan to close the gaps, deploying your security controls and even providing policies and procedures you can use, educating your employees on best security practices to reduce potential going forward, and then managing it for you if you don’t have access to a good IT resource. Everything is customized to your specific environment and tailored towards small to medium law firms.
