Nerd Out EP 43: Reviewing security predictions, and security news of the year
The Gate 15 Nerd Out! Security Panel Discussion, moderated by Dave Pounder, focuses on physical security topics including terrorism, extremism, hostile events, and other pertinent topics.
In the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave welcomes back his old Risk Roundtable partners as Jennifer Lyn Walker makes time way from her media tour to join Andy Jabbour on a special year-end review. Dave takes the gang through some of the security predictions for 2023 as they determine if they hit the mark, were slightly off target, or missed the target. Then they looked at the top security news of the year ranging from ransomware to casino breaches and major geopolitical events.
Information on other Gate 15 blogs can be found at Podcasts (gate15.global).
