Show Notes

Things are bound to go sideways in the world of IT and security, but there are certain three-letter government organizations that you never want to hear from. In this episode, long-time security veteran and Chief Security Officer at Vetcor, Andrew Wilder, joins us to unpack several harrowing encounters with bad actors and local law enforcement – ranging from chasing down unknowing internal payments to known hackers and cracking down on vulnerable vendors. Andrew explores why establishing relationships with your local law enforcement before bad things happen is key in a world where so much often goes awry, and how to translate risks into opportunities for growth.
