How hard is it to do your job when your job involves government, the military and the commercial sector?

 “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help”

 -- Ronald Reagan

Does that actually have to be the case? What if you are really good at what you do and you happen to work for the government… Or you are a civilian contractor who does government work… Or insert any of a thousand variables involved with providing products and services for the federal government

How do you get good and stay good at what you do?

On this episode of pm73media, Carter Schoenberg joins Matt Stephenson for a wide ranging talk about the world of Civilian Contracting, compliance, the Cyberskills gap… a lot of things that profoundly impact every sector of the security and tech worlds, especially when we consider the role of compliance in landing these government contracts. We also talk a bit about how being a Homicide Detective in a massive city applies to life in the world of cybersecurity. Dig it

About Matt Stephenson

My name is Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) and I have hosted podcasts, videos and live events all over the world which put me with experts on every corner of the cybersecurity landscape. pm73media is my first solo endeavor. On this platform and others to come, I will continue to expand upon the tradition we started with the Insecurity podcast as I seek out the leading minds in the tech industry and beyond. I am always looking for fun people who may break things every now and again.

In 20 years in the ecosystem of Data Protection and Cybersecurity I have toured the world extolling the virtues of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and how, when applied to information security, these technologies can wrong-foot the bad guys.

Whether in person, live virtual events or podcasting, I get to interview interesting people doing interesting things all over the world of technology and the extended world of hacking. Sometimes, that means hacking elections or the coffee supply chain... other times that means social manipulation or the sovereign wealth fund of a national economy.

Wherever I go, my job is all about talking with the people who build, manage or wreck the systems that we have put in place to make the world go round...

If you tuned in to any of my previous podcasts, there’s great news…! pm73media is here! I will be bringing the same kind of energy and array of guests you know and love. Best part? We’re still at the same spot. You can find it at Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music & Audible as well as GooglePlay, Gaana, Himalaya, I Heart Radioand wherever you get your podcasts!
