During this segment, Dr. Shawn Murray speaks with Ed Amoroso, founder of TAG Cyber and former CISO of AT&T. Ed explains the history and evolution of information security, technology, and the need to bridge gaps between practitioners and academia. Ed’s contribution in both areas has allowed him to transition to his role at TAG Cyber when he and his teamwork to help various businesses understand where they can best allocate specific resources and debunks many mindsets on generally accepted best practices in information and cybersecurity. Shawn and Ed discuss some of Ed’s additional contributions in academia as well.
