Send Bidemi a Text Message!In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde had an insightful and inspiring conversation with Peter Galanis, a distinguished mentor, leader, and friend. The conversation started with Pete giving a summary of his vast experience and background in the tech/cyber industry, from the days of working the Russian desk as a Signals Intelligence Analyst to his time at AT&T and, subsequently, Verizon.The conversation then moved to how and why the IT industry seems to be as static as it is dynamic; the need to return to fundamental principles of securing systems and networks; whether old-school networking protocols are still relevant in today’s gradual and inevitable shift towards Web3.0; some thoughts about smart contracts, fraud, and implicit trust systems; the distinctions between physical vs. cyber threats within organizations and across multiple industries; the concept of self-sovereign identity and self-sovereign data; how organizations can effectively manage their vast data footprint; and lots more. Pete made an insightful 2-3 year prediction regarding how to effectively manage and secure vast amounts of data for average end users when data saturation becomes prevalent and inevitable at the individual user level.We had a very insightful conversation, with Pete sharing so much of his abundant knowledge during this relatively short hour-long episode. There were some important shoutouts during the episode as well: shoutout to Roy Eggensperger (it was great meeting up in Vegas during DEFCON), and also Ed Amoroso, Pete’s long-time friend, who I first met when Pete invited him to an all-hands call when I was still working at Verizon.Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's other creative outlets on LinkTree.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
