Aileen Garcia was pursuing a career in interior design before a sudden change in trajectory took her into the male-dominated field of security technology – more specifically cybersecurity, where as fraud prevention manager at ClearSale she’s working to ensure all her team members are motivated to take a flexible approach toward their important work.

In her interview with SecurityInfoWatch Associate Editor Samantha Schober, Garcia shares how she handled the challenges she faced as a woman entering the industry, what strengths she feels women can bring to the fight against fraud, and strategies women can consider to establish themselves and ensure their ideas and insights are heard.

In this episode we engage with Dave Sweeney, District Director for the Mid-Atlantic region for The Cook & Boardman Group, including Advantech, and a member of the executive board for Security-Net. Sweeney and host Steve Lasky, editorial director for Endeavor Business Media's Security Group, delve into how technology is changing the role of security integrators – from dealers to consultants – and how they can stay current and certified amid ever-changing regulations and requirements.

Lasky and Sweeney will also hit on tackling the challenges of maintaining security in a hybrid work environment and strategies for IT professionals to meet evolving end-user expectations.

In this episode, Steve Lasky, Editorial Director for the Security Group at Endeavor Business Media, engages in a timely and poignant discussion about security program design and team leadership with Bryan Willett, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Lexmark International.

Willett will discuss his journey from firmware development and project management to security management and how he guided Lexmark to making significant investments in security infrastructure, monitoring and operations across all business areas. He’ll also share the attributes he’s strived to look for when building security team, and strategies that can be employed to address the challenges of securing today’s network-centric environments.
