Co-hosted by seasoned cybersecurity experts Joseph Carson, Chief Security Scientist at Thycotic, and Michael Gruen, CISO at Cybrary, the 401 Access Denied podcast provides listeners with authorized access to real-life stories and advice from leading cybersecurity experts, best practices for navigating security challenges and so much more. Every two weeks, Carson and Gruen invite industry peers to join them to discuss all things security from hot topics to current events to behind the scenes techniques, dissecting what’s really going on in today’s world of cybersecurity.
