028. Balancing Act - Women in Cybersecurity on Managing Risks and Opportunity featuring guests Erica Wilson and Jamie Kemp

In this throwback episode from Season 1, we hear from two incredible women in cyber to help us explore our risk appetite.
Not all people or businesses can tolerate the same amount or type of risk… so that means everyone approaches manages risk differently. What are you risking when you decide to take a certain class or download a particular application? Are you missing out on friends? Are you sacrificing speed on your device? What does that type of analysis look like in the cyber career space? Ultimately, risk management is about making smart decisions for our own contexts.
In this episode, we talk with Erica Wilson, VP of Global Cybersecurity and Privacy Risk Management at Reinsurance Group of America, and Jamie Kemp, President of Women in Cybersecurity(WiCyS) at Lakota West High School. We chat about the unique perspectives of our guests and how they got into cyber, as well as issues specific to girls and women in cybersecurity and resources to support them.
By listening to our podcast and sharing it with your network, you’ll be helping us to raise awareness and accessibility of cybersecurity careers. Together, we can create a more diverse and resilient cybersecurity workforce that can tackle the challenges of the future. So, what are you waiting for? Tune in and join the conversation today!
