Here at Security magazine, our mission is to bring valuable insights and expert perspectives from security leaders straight to our readers — and listeners — in every way we can. One of the most dynamic ways we do that is through The Security Podcasts.

Alongside our monthly eMagazine and daily web content, The Security Podcasts offer in-depth conversations with top voices in cybersecurity and physical security across a range of industries. These professionals share real-world stories, leadership lessons and timely analysis on the evolving landscape of threats and trends.

Here’s a quick look at some of our latest episodes — tune in to hear what today’s security leaders are saying, straight from the source.

Promoting Wellness Among Security Teams in the Midst of Crisis

In this episode of The Security Podcasts featuring Danielle Weddepohl, Director of Public Safety and Emergency Management at George Brown College, we discuss how to promote wellness among security teams — especially in the event of a crisis.

“With furthering wellness, we really need to think about first starting with the security industry and our institutions, really understanding the strategic value that security and risk mitigation plays in our organization. It needs to be understood by senior leadership and woven into the fabric of daily operations, so the trickle-down impact about how security is understood, embedded into institutional culture, and respected then percolates into our daily operations.” – Danielle Weddepohl, Director of Public Safety and Emergency Management at George Brown College

Making Security Decisions in an Unstable or Chaotic Environment

In this episode of The Security Podcasts featuring Dave Coxe, CEO and Co-Founder of ID Dataweb, we discuss how leaders can make security decisions in unstable or chaotic environments.

“As business environments change — whether they're driven by external policies, internal policies, or new technology — everybody has a huge a unique perspective on this. So, if they feel threatened by a change in any of these factors and policy, or if they’re being bought, for example, or integrated into another enterprise, there’s always going to be a lot of chaos associated.”– Dave Coxe, CEO and Co-Founder of ID Dataweb

CISO Strategies: Modern Challenges and How to Overcome Them

In this episode of The Security Podcasts featuring Jordan Avnaim, Chief Information Security Officer at Entrust, we discuss strategies CISOs can implement to overcome modern challenges.

“Long gone are the days when the CISO was on the blaming end of security incidents. Cybersecurity, more than ever, is a necessity for any modern business. This means there’s no such thing as as too much communication or or too much support when it comes to leveraging fellow executives, and also your board members too. With nearly a quarter of cybersecurity leaders wanting to quit due to stress, executive leadership must work together to share the responsibility of ensuring the organization’s security posture, especially as threats rise in frequency and sophistication, the regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, and our resource constraints continue to rise.” – Jordan Avnaim, Chief Information Security Officer at Entrust

Multi-Site Mastery: Strategies for Effective Risk Assessments

In this episode of The Security Podcasts we sit down with Mark Landry, National Accounts Director at AMAROK, to discuss navigating multi-site risk assessment effectively.

“In order to approach your risk assessment, especially when you've got vast or disparate geographies - meaning you've got a location in Portland, Maine and location in Portland, Oregon - you have to be able to accurately convey the risk across both of those locations that have very different risk profiles just due to the nature of where they are located,” Landry says. “How do we approach the assessments across these multiple sites? The first thing you need to do as a security professional is understand the goals and the objectives of the business.” – Mark Landry, National Accounts Director at AMAROK
