AT&T Cybersecurity’s head of evangelism, Theresa Lanowitz, is today's guest. Lanowitz has amazing and wide-ranging career achievements, from her time with analyst firms Gartner and Voke, work on Java’s JBuilder environment and strategic marketing for the Jini Project, which was proto-IoT going back to the late ‘90s! With all of these incredible stories, we talked far and wide about manufacturing security concerns, she breaks down the key pain points around edge computing and talks extensively about her love of both the English language and programming languages of all sorts. They all have grammar, they all have style, and if you’re a linguist or a lover of learning new languages, perhaps computer languages are an opportunity you hadn’t pursued? All that and a ton more – seriously, I could have talked to Lanowitz for hours – on today’s episode of Cyber Work. 0:00 - Manufacturing security   2:02 - Theresa Lanowitz’s early interest in computers  3:52 - Learning programming languages in the early days  6:12 - English language’s connection to programming language  8:24 - Evolution of programming language  11:55 - How language impacts programming  13:52 - Lanowitz’s cybersecurity career  17:20 - An average day as head of cybersecurity evangelism  22:53 - Edge computing use in manufacturing  26:35 - Biggest security issues in manufacturing  30:02 - The bad actors in manufacturing security  33:41 - Manufacturing cybersecurity technology  39:02 - Skills needed to work in manufacturing cybersecurity  41:00 - Biggest skills gaps in manufacturing security  41:44 - Best cybersecurity career advice  42:15 - Where are manufacturing security issues heading?  45:06 - Security issues with third-party vendors  47:53 - Learn more about AT&T cybersecurity   48:48 - Learn more about Theresa Lanowitz  49:04 - Outro – Get your FREE cybersecurity training resources: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/free – View Cyber Work Podcast transcripts and additional episodes: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/podcast About Infosec Infosec’s mission is to put people at the center of cybersecurity.
