Hello My Happy People,
Today Dianne is sharing with all of you her Best of Season 3 interview with the incredible Theresa Payton.
Theresa Payton, an illustrious figure in the domain of technology and cybersecurity, has carved a niche for herself as a pioneering force and the first female White House Chief Information Officer. Currently, at the helm of Fortalice Solutions, a cybersecurity firm she founded in 2014, Payton dedicates her expertise to safeguarding the digital fortresses of both public and private entities against the ceaseless waves of cyber threats. Recognized as one of the nation’s most esteemed authorities on secured digital transformation, her counsel is highly sought after by boards of Fortune 500 companies, CEOs, and technology executives alike.
Her visionary approach has seen her inventing new security designs and securing a U.S. patent in security, a testament to her innovative spirit and expertise in the field. Theresa Payton's role in the former CBS TV series "Hunted" highlighted her acumen in leading teams, identifying digital tracks and emerging cyber threats, and devising countermeasures.
Under her leadership, Fortalice Solutions has evolved into a bastion of cybersecurity, offering cutting-edge solutions and strategic advice drawn from her rich tapestry of experiences as a technologist, cybercrime fighter, and entrepreneur. Her accolades reflect her unparalleled contributions to the field, including being named one of the Top 25 Most Influential People in Security by Security Magazine, the FBI's Director Award for Public Service, and one of the top 50 Cybersecurity Leaders of 2020 by Business Insider.

Season Three Holiday Hiatus Episodes:
New this year, instead of our usual "Best of" rebroadcast episodes during our hiatus, we are bringing you all new interviews recorded live at the 2024 Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. The sound in these episodes will not be as clear as our usual episodes. They were recorded live in the middle of the book convention, the crowds were constantly milling all around us, talking, and checking out the exhibits. However, we always strive to bring you the best sound quality we possibly can.
