Episode 9: “Scuba” Steve Gary — a journey from math camp to cyber intelligence

Stephen “Scuba” Gary is a cyber intelligence professor at the University of South Florida with over 15 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry. In this episode, Scuba joins the No Password Required team to discuss his journey in the field of cybersecurity, how one gets the nickname Scuba without scuba diving, and why math nerds throw the best parties. Scuba, Ernie, and Clabby analyze ransomware attacks in Florida, security lessons to be learned from the 2020 elections, and more. In the “Positively Cyber” segment, Pablo Torres explores why Peter Quill, aka the Star Lord, aka the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, would be a perfect fit for Chief Technology Officer in a fictitious cybersecurity organization.
