IT security then and now, on IT and the D podcast
Posted byTen years ago, I was the first guest on IT in the D podcast. (I won’t go back and listen. It’s like looking at photos of yourself in high school.) I was there to promote the BSides Detroit conference. Now that I’m doing another conference this year, they invited me back to talk about what’s changed in ten years. Take a listen.
IT Security Then and Now, Securing Relationships with Wolfgang Goerlich, Cybersecurity Strategist. This week we met with Wolfgang Goerlich. Not only is he a well respected CISO, he was our guest on Episode 1 (and episode 112). We had fun catching up, talking about security then vs. now, changes in philosophy, and mocked marketing jargon for commonly used tech. We ended by talking about Securing Sexuality, his conference and podcast, prompted by his wife, who is a relationship and sexuality therapist.

The Imposter Syndrome Network Podcast
Posted byI’m on the Imposter Syndrome Network with Zoe Rose and Chris Grundemann this week. I’m emphasizing trust and relationships in the imposter syndrome conversation. “If they trust you, you can have a degree of freedom to interact, explore, to get it right. But if they don’t, it doesn’t matter how good you are. They are going to doubt you.”
I also cover my imposter syndrome coaching framework: good imposter syndrome, bad imposter syndrome, and systemic imposter syndrome. The good is where you’re feeling the pressure to up your game, where you’re in a room with many brilliant people. The bad is where you let imposter syndrome prevent you from taking opportunities and when it gets in the way of you going into that room. Finally, there is the systemic challenges where the reason you feel like an imposter is because the culture, the people in the room, are actively making you feel like you don’t belong.
“It’s intrinsic, as leaders, to help people move towards good imposter syndrome and recognize and address systemic. If everyone on your team is being a jerk to a few coworkers, doesn’t matter how much you can tell them ‘be confident, you’re okay, you belong here.’ They’re not going to feel it, and it’s really on you as the manager to address that.”
This is my advice to leaders helping people through imposter syndrome. Understand which of the three — good, bad, systemic — and act accordingly. There is always a reason someone is feeling the way they do, and if it’s systemic, it’s on us to address it.

Securing Bridges with Alyssa Miller
Posted byAlyssa Miller invited me to join her on the Securing Bridges podcast. We talked about board conversations, building roadmaps, the power of storytelling, and the use of metrics.

In Scope podcast: The Department of No
Posted byI was a guest recently on the In Scope podcast: Security doesn’t have to be the department of no.
“In this episode, Mike welcomes Wolfgang Goerlich aka “Wolf” Advisory CISO at Cisco. Join us they discuss the tendency within security to disregard the human element leading to a lack of adhering to security protocols and working around those protocols. When this happens, we see a correlation to a human need not being met. If that is understood and considered, the result is the development of much better security products all around.”
