On today’s show, I have John Hubbard who is a Cyber Security Manager located in Pennsylvania.
John is an expert at Cyber Security and we cover A LOT of topics during this episode, everything from how he got started in the information security industry & advice for anyone who wants to work in the information security field to how you can protect yourself and your more sensitive information to stay safe. These days, we all live our lives online but there are people out there who will take advantage of vulnerabilities and steal your information.
This episode is super informative for those who want to take action to protect themselves but aren’t quite sure where to start.
Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
In today’s episode, you’ll find out:
John Hubbard is the Lead of GlaxoSmithKline’s U.S. Security Operations Center where his responsibilities include defending against cyber-attacks, forensic analysis, and reverse engineering of viruses. He is also an instructor and author for the SANS Institute where he teaches network security monitoring and cyber defense to an international audience.
John has a master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and his past research spans from malware, to car hacking, mobile app security, and the Internet of Things. He is passionate about security and is driven to help teach organizations around the world how to protect their most sensitive data. In his free time he enjoys running, drone racing, and slowly turning his home into a data center.

Loved John Hubbard’s podcast.
Yes I might be partial to the review since I am his mother. But he protects my computer.
I have sent this to many friends and relatives for its relevance.
One thought for future guests is my cousin. She is a nutritionist and motivational speaker for many companies within the Michigan area. Debbie Cavender would give an informational and entertaining podcast.
