Words Matter: Understanding The Vocabulary Used Between Business Leaders And CISOs | A Blue Lava Story With Demetrios Lazarikos (Laz) Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

This is certainly not a new or revolutionary statement: "Words Matter." What is new nowadays is the pace at which our business, relationships, and society change.

Technology is fueling many of these changes, and we are all learning new ways as we go. As we're trying to figure out what we are doing and where we're going to go next, the words we use to describe the world around us matter even more than ever.

We must understand the power of our words and how they may land depending on who gets to hear them. In short, we need to use them wisely and adapt them to the audience we are talking to — especially in a highly technical field such as cybersecurity; we sure need to think more about the matter if we want to be heard and understood.

Join us and our guest, Demetrios Lazarikos (Laz), for a candid conversation about how words shaped his own life, shaped his company [listen to the Blue Lava origin story here], and how they helped him learn to be a student of the business as a 3-time CISO. It's important to know your audience, tailor the message to them, and choose your words wisely.

There's a moral to this story, and Laz's words matter immensely for those seeking to run an information security program that not only protects the business but also helps it achieve its objectives.

The Psychology Of Cybersecurity And The Value Of Thinking Outside The Box | Redefining Security With Morgan Wright Nov 10, 2021

Show notes

The problem is not the problem, it is the way you think about the problem. Get outside the box.

Fear, manipulation, influence and deceit are some of the most powerful tools in the arsenal used by nation state attackers and criminal actors. The most significant breaches have not occurred just because of flaws in software, or lack of proper controls. They have occurred because of the flaws in our way of thinking about the problems. Determined adversaries will use every tool in order to gain an advantage whether it’s hardware, software or wetware.

Join us as our guest, Morgan Wright, takes us into the mind of the attackers from a non-technical view and explore the psychology of cybersecurity.

Show notes

Learn everything you need to know about cameras, lenses, and lighting techniques for the ultimate home studio for YouTubers, podcasters, and those wanting better Zoom video conferences.

I dive deep into cameras, lens types, cinematic lighting techniques, and achieving bokeh -- a blurred background. Viewers will learn how to make better YouTube videos, podcasts, or just better zoom video conferences. I offer shopping tips for those wanting to know what they should buy for small budgets or big budgets and everything in between.

Workflow Orchestration: The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts | A Nintex Story | With Jesse McHargue, Nicole (Prestby) Vesser, Rhia Wieclawek, And Ben Stori Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

In this fifth episode, the group gets into some real-world stories where multiple workflows come together in an orchestrated fashion to amplify the investments in workflow management and automation exponentially.

In the previous four episodes, we looked at what it takes to transition from manual, human-driven (frequently paper-bound) processes to an operating environment where applications can handle tasks with very little human interaction. This doesn't mean that everything can (and should be) automated. Quite the opposite is true in some cases. But, once processes have been automated, it sure is fun (and valuable) to find ways to connect them all in exciting and meaningful ways.

When an organization wants to get more out of the processes they've already automated, that's where orchestration comes into play. Picture a conductor conducting an orchestra comprised of different sections -- brass, winds, percussion. This is what automated business processes can look like -- all coming together to create a symphony of goodness in areas such as:

Systems and humans (employees)
IT and OT (medical/healthcare)
Apps, devices, and sensors (city bike rentals)
AI and Robots (manufacturing)
Customers and their experience (theme parks)

Listen to get some insight that can be applied to your digital business processes now and in the future. This is a 5-part podcast series with Nintex thought leaders and solutions partners. The series walks through the lifecycle of employing business process management (BPM) and business process automation (BPA) throughout the organization.
