  • Curt Vincent - Cyber Warrior Pt 2 - Are Your Home and Business Safe?
    Oct 21 2022

    After the last discussion with Cyber Security Warrior, Curt Vincent at #theOvalTable, we have seen one of his predictions come true as Russia is taking out most of the Ukraine power grid. Curt has been involved with the cyber wars since 1985. Spending 20 years in the regular Army and 16 more in the Reserve Army, he was a pioneer in establishing cyber security protocols and procedures and in identifying attackers, including hostile Nation States and Criminal Organizations. After 9/11, he was called back into uniform for two years to serve as the Operations Officer for the entire Army Operations Network and Security Center. He has held high level cyber security positions at Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and several Cyber Security Consulting organizations.

    This is Part 2 of a two-part discussion.

    Issues discussed: Vulnerabilities from the #Internet_of_Things (refrigerators, lights and other appliances and #devices in your home and cars), the speed of development, sleeper bots, the speed of development, the lack of national cyber borders, combating #ransomeware, taking maintaining operations into consideration with your backup strategy (how fast can you recover from an event), the move back to centralized systems from distributed systems, and the value of VPN’s.

  • Jon Baker - Introverts or Extroverts: Mining The Gold of Distinct Qualities
    Sep 6 2022

    Introverts or extroverts: Which are more valuable to your business? Author and Leadership Consultant Jon Baker joins us at the Table from Swanage, UK for a far-ranging discussion of how to effectively use introverts in business and how introverts can effectively contribute to business. How do you identify your introverts – there are probably more than you think – and if you are one, how can you make sure your unique skills and talents are recognized? Do you talk to think, or do you think to talk? Both are valuable. Discover how, and which one are you? #introvert #extrovert #values #OvalTable #conference #networking

    We also discuss generational differences. What motivates Baby Boomers, Millennials and Gen Z? How are they different? How do their values differ? How do we use that knowledge to supercharge their performance?

    Other topics include: How do you best use your time at a Trade Show or Conference, especially introverts? How do you lay the groundwork for a productive decision-making meeting? #introvert #extrovert #values #OvalTable #conference #networking
