#111 Version Next, Now Part 4, Episode 1: Security-Built Culture w/ Mike Mulligan, TEKsystems
The pace of change and digital disruption already stretched security teams to their limits. The proliferation of endpoint devices expanded attack surfaces. The escalating sophistication, volume and velocity of cyberattacks require 24/7 monitoring. Then, a global pandemic and the resulting “work from anywhere” response by organizations exacerbated these pressures almost literally overnight. Security teams had to manage massive deployments of employees to remote work environments, further extending the company’s security perimeter. Leaders from TEKsystems discuss how leading organizations are using the pandemic as an opportunity to reset their security strategy, improve alignment and imbed security into the culture of the organization—ultimately enabling business to drive successful outcomes.

#109 Marketing Agencies and Agility w/ Tim Weinheimer, Hahn Public
Today we’re going to talk about how to maintain agility as a marketing agency. I know firsthand how volatile the world of marketing and public relations can be. When you take the last 12 years alone, we’ve seen the 2008-9 financial crisis, the rebuilding of the economy alongside the growth of social media and digital advertising as more sophisticated channels, the evolution of big data into something that businesses of all sizes can leverage for marketing and business insights, and now the most recent financial crisis due to COVID-19. Amidst that, marketing and sales can’t simply stop, so the role of the agency has always been vital, but its role has certainly evolved over time, and will continue to evolve. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Tim Weinheimer, Principal, President, and Managing Partner of Hahn Public.
