S2 - Episode 011 – "Cybersecurity Happy Hour - with Chris Glanden (BARCODE Security)"

Author: Jason Popillion and Kevin Pentecost October 12, 2023 Duration: 1:33:21

In this episode, Kevin and Jason shoot the breeze with fellow Cybersecurity podcaster Chris Glanden, a veteran cybersecurity professional passionate about Security Systems, breakthroughs, vulnerabilities, their mitigation and risk management.

Chris has interviewed some of the most high-profile influencers and specialists in technology, hacking, and cyberspace. His episodes include guests like Phillip Wylie, Freaky Clown (FC), Jack Rhysider from Darknet Diaries, Alyssa Miller, Gummo, and Magda Chelly to name a few!!

Conceptualized in mid-2020 amongst the Covid pandemic, he designed BARCODE to become THE alternative way to continue the social and educational elements of cybersecurity happy hours, technical meet-ups and security conference peer interaction that our industry was so deprived of during that time.  Often, this is where new ideas and innovation is spawned, and not confined within 4 conference walls. Enter a no pressure atmosphere where listeners gain knowledge direct from the industry's elite.

Chris is working on an amazing documentary project called INHUMAN and Chris is bootstrapping everything, which is tough. If people want to find out more about what they're doing, inhumandocumentary.com is the website with crowdfunding information and sponsorship opportunities. The documentary will be all about AI and we spill lots of juicy details in this episode.

We really hope you like this episode as much as we enjoyed putting it together and spending time with our man, Chris!

Jason Popillion is a CISSP and serves as a CIO/CTO of a SaaS company and Kevin Pentecost is a CISSP, CISM, CEH, CPT, MPCS, MCSE, CCA, ITIL-F and serves as a Information Security Director for a Manufacturing company.
