Episode 14: Phillip Tarrant — a SOC Technical Manager who builds things with keyboards and blowtorches and thrives when things go “fowl”

Phillip Tarrant is the SOC Technical Manager at Compuquip Cybersecurity who is passionate about many things in life, including his pet chickens, building things both with and without a keyboard, disconnecting in nature, and welcoming people into the field of cybersecurity. In this episode, Phillip joins the No Password Required team to talk about his unique journey into the field of cybersecurity, why chicken diapers are crossing the line, why the Empire is in serious need of some data protection policies, and more. Ernie, Clabby, and Pablo discuss the presidential administration’s new cybersecurity initiatives in response to the SolarWinds attack and what they mean for the future. In the “Positively Cyber” segment, Pablo compares two members of the Mystery Incorporated gang and analyzes whether Scooby-Doo or Velma would be the better fit for our fictitious cybersecurity organization.
