Episode 8 with Marissa

Author: Kyle & David July 2, 2020 Duration: 56:45
This week on Moscow Mules and NOP Slides, we have Marissa Russo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marissa-russo-45380b71). Marissa keeps it local to Pittsburgh and drinks a Hitchhiker (@Hitchhikerbrew) Subsurface All Berry out of a Dancing Gnome (@DG_Beer) Nordic glass. She talks to us about her journey into cyber security from coding BattleBots to her current role as an IT security consultant. Marissa is also the CCO of the non-profit Womxn in Tech Pittsburgh (WITPGH) (https://www.womenintechpgh.com). "WITPGH is a community of women, womxn, non-binary folks, and allies championing for the diverse and inter-sectional experience in tech." We discuss barriers of entry for the community of women, womxn, non-binary folks. We then dive in topics of privacy and cyber hygiene. Our special co-host, filling in for David (@ireversethings) this week, is Deana (@deanashick). She sips on El Mayor Reposado Tequila out of Save the Beer Whalez (@savebeerwhalez) HopBuster (@Ghostbusters themed) Rastal Harmony 40 Tumbler glass. Kyle continues on his IPA journey with DIPA called Green Iguana from Ever Grain Brewing (@evergrainbeer) out of a 8-bit Double Dragon themed Spiegelau IPA Glass from The Answer Brewpub (@TheAnswerBrew). Thank you to Marissa for being a guest and the great conversations! If you would like to get involved with WITPGH please go to their website at https://www.womenintechpgh.com. For donations (ranging from computers to bus passes), mentoring, and/or sponsorship reach out to them at hello@womenintechpgh.com.

Hosts Kyle & David invite you to pull up a chair for Moscow Mules and NOP Slides, a conversation that lives at the unique intersection of craft and code. Each episode connects with a guest from the cyber security world, but the talk starts with what's in their glass-or mug, or bottle. That ritual beverage, whether it's a meticulously brewed coffee, a homemade kombucha, a classic cocktail, or a simple soda, becomes a gateway into the real stories behind their work and personal projects. This podcast is built on the idea that the best discussions about technology, hobbies, and leisure happen when people are simply being themselves, sharing the details of their craft alongside the details of their favorite drink. You'll hear unfiltered shop talk about security challenges and creative pursuits, all framed by the personal tastes and routines that define a professional's day. It’s a relaxed, often humorous look at the people behind the screens, exploring how they unwind, focus, and innovate. In every episode of this podcast, the common thread is a genuine curiosity about how people "wet their whistle" and where their minds go when they do.
