Hosts Michal and Sam catch up with EXEC.SEC.CON./HOU.SEC.CON. speaker and Cyber Point Advisory Founder Dd Budiharto! They talk about how she (accidentally!) ended up in her first cybersecurity role, her personal experience as a whistleblower, and the need for integrity in the industry, particularly as organizations grapple with ethical dilemmas in cybersecurity.
