Episode Notes

Cybersecurity isn’t an issue that can be dealt with simply by using technology. It’s about working together to solve challenging puzzles, bringing together technology and people to solve complex problems. 

This week’s guest on MindSET, Arlette Hart, Senior Technologist for Cybersecurity at Leidos, believes cybersecurity sits at the intersection between technology and people. For Arlette, if you want to protect against cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities, both technology and people have to work together. 

Of course technology is important, it creates an opportunity for us to better detect, sense and react to activities happening, and even predict them, but it also creates new challenges of having to then protect the things that you’ve just created. It’s a vicious cycle. 

Joining Arlette in this podcast is MindSET host, Meghan Good, Cyber Solutions Lead for the Intelligence Group at Leidos. And what makes the conversation so rich is that, while they both have cybersecurity as their focus, including its challenges and innovations, they’ve come at it along very different paths.
