46 - 12/18 - FBI Special Agent for Denver

In this episode: Denver's local FBI Special Agent is our guest this week. News from: Chipotle, Cyberpatriots, Threat X, LogRhythm, Ping Identity, Coalfire and a lot more! https://www.colorado-security.com/news/2017/12/10/46-1218-fbi-special-agent-for-denver Are the Olympics coming to town? And more importantly, do we want them to come here in 2026? (Spoiler alert- No.) The Denver job market for 2018 looks good (especially for security). Chipotle is moving (but keeping the guac I hope). Highlands Ranch high school kids are better than you at security. Threat X takes a round (7.3m). And some blogs from LogRhythm, Ping (Robb wrote it!), and Coalfire.
