Securing Your Firewall - Druce MacFarlane - Security Download - Episode # 008

Today’s guest is a driver of transformation and revenue-generator. He has over 15 years of progressive product-management leadership experience with technology organizations. He is a speaker and the host of the podcast, Startup Lantern. Please welcome to the show, Druce MacFarlane. Druce is the Head of Products - Security, Threat Intelligence and Analytics at Infoblox, and he joins the host Anna Redmond to talk about how cybersecurity and physical security need to work together to better compliment each other.   Takeaways: * When it comes to physical and cyber security, there really isn’t a good intersection between the two. This is a huge mistake because you can have the best firewalls but if you aren’t guarding your office doors, anyone can walk in and ruin the system. * With the way Wi-Fi networks work, everyone assumes that it is locked down and secure but if there is somebody with the right software they could get into your network and cause major havoc on your system. * Brokerage firms are a prime target for a security hack due to the high dollar transactions that go through their systems.  * Email was never designed to be a secure form of communication. If there is anything sensitive at all, you shouldn’t send it out through an email. * If a security guard works at the same office everyday, they would be able to notice if something is off with an unknown person coming in with a laptop and could alert the right people to the situation. * In order to cut down on any potential security risks, it’s important to notice if an employee’s credentials are being used to access the system and then match it up with the location of the request to see if it matches where the employee is. * Out of everyone in the company, the CFO is the most likely target for someone trying to get information out of the company as they would know more about the company than anyone else.  Quote of the Show: 32:01 “There's physical security, there's cyber security, I consider this to be job security,” Links: * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/druce/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/druce/] * Website: https://www.infoblox.com/ [https://www.infoblox.com/] Ways to Tune In: * Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download] * Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144] * Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8 [https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8] * Google Podcast - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw] * Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download [https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download] * YouTube - https://youtu.be/y2U2Aj8dEgQ [https://youtu.be/y2U2Aj8dEgQ] Security Download is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

Protection for Property Managers - Steve Bonaventure - Security Download - Episode # 007

Today’s guest is a visionary leader who is passionate about leveraging technology to improve the way people look at real estate. Please welcome to the show, Steve Bonaventure! Steve is the Founder of Pineapple,  a company that looks to provide the all in one self touring solution for real estate. Join Steve as he sits down with the host Anna Redmond to talk about some of the steps that property managers can take in order to keep themselves safe.   Takeaways: * As more properties begin to open up and allow for more access from consumers, these spaces need to look toward upgrading the security related aspect. They can follow the model for security that other services such as Uber, Lyft and AirBnB offer.    * At the end of the day, multi-family housing by nature is limited in the security sense. It’s often a balance between balancing risk mitigation and legality. It’s all about leveraging private databases in a way to be able to mitigate any risk. * Being a mid-level property manager can be a dangerous job. According to OSHA, it is classified as a higher risk job. * For multi-family properties, it used to be that about a dozen property managers would look out for a 300 unit apartment building, but now there are less and less property managers so less people will have to end up doing more work. * One way to prevent issues with unknown customers coming to tour a building is to have a sign that states that you verify IDs before a tour and follow through with that. Verifying an ID will prove that someone is who they say they are and keep everyone safe. * The property management industry is heading toward a more centralized environment where cameras and sensors will be more of a common thing in those spaces.  * Originally, Steve was passionate about wanting to work in homeland security but he found a way to combine the safety and security with property management.  Quote of the Show: 06:34  “OSHA classifies it as a higher risk job, working as a property manager.” Links: * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-bonaventure-1857aa7/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-bonaventure-1857aa7/] * Website: https://www.tourwithpineapple.com/ [https://www.tourwithpineapple.com/] Ways to Tune In: * Amaon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download] * Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144] * Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8 [https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8] * Google Podcast - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw] * Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download [https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download] * YouTube - https://youtu.be/m6NWhoU_K4Y [https://youtu.be/m6NWhoU_K4Y] Security Download is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

Measuring Effectiveness - Mark Dufton - Security Download - Episode # 006

Today’s guest has over 25 years in the commercial real estate industry. After graduating in the top 10% of his class from West Point, he spent his time honing his craft and passion for real estate. Please welcome to the show, Mark Dufton! Mark is the Managing Partner of Dinosaur Capital Partners, and he joins the host Anna Redmond to talk about the role that security places in commercial real estate and protecting the assets.   Takeaways:  * When companies are planning on building a piece of real estate, they often forget the importance of security for the property. A solution to this would be to have an independent security consultant be involved in the design process and hear their input. * Commercial real estate is a 20 plus trillion dollar market, but the current level of technology is behind the current times in a lot of cases. This means that security has taken a backseat in many cases. * Nationwide, Mall properties are going to be reduced from 12,000 or 13,000 properties all the way to 700 properties, and office properties have been struggling as well. These are the two biggest users of visible security. * As the property owner, you are going to know more about the property than a security firm that is coming on for their first day. In order to best prepare them, give them a head start by going through a security audit. * The technology aspect of security is where commercial real estate is lacking as an industry. Video cameras and other pieces of technology are an easier way to provide safety for tenants and other people in the property. * At a certain point, the cost of security that is being implemented starts to outweigh the benefit to it and there is no one at the wheel to identify the turning points.  * In an inflationary environment, property owners will start to look at the utilities they might be paying for and other aspects such as property insurance, and security is usually the aspect where they tend to cut back, which leads to a reduction in the safety of the property. Quote of the Show: 28:35 “Each property should have some form of security assessment, even if it's semi-formal.” Links: * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdufton/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdufton/] * Website: https://www.dinosaurcap.com/ [https://www.dinosaurcap.com/] * Twitter: https://twitter.com/markdufton [https://twitter.com/markdufton] Ways to Tune In: * Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/16d330f8-34cd-4633-ba6f-4791dd874fcb/security-download] * Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/security-download/id1664540144] * Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8 [https://open.spotify.com/show/4BZJFn5BseSs5KR43Ng4Z8] * Google Podcast - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jYTlhNWNhYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw] * Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download [https://www.stitcher.com/show/security-download] * YouTube - https://youtu.be/Tjj-qDAx9uQ [https://youtu.be/Tjj-qDAx9uQ] Security Download is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

Understanding Crime Data - Nadim Curi - Security Download - Episode # 005

Today’s guest is an MIT Innovator Under 35 for Latin America. His TEDx talk on Science & Technology helped to formulate the idea for his latest company. Please welcome to the show, Nadim Curi. Nadim is the Co-Founder & CEO at CrimeoMeter. Nadim joins the host Anna Redmond to talk about the use of crime data and how it can be interpreted.   Takeaways:  * The biggest misconception that people have about crime data is that they tend to think it has an inherent bias or racism which skews it.  * At least 70% of crimes don’t get reported to authorities for two main reasons; bureaucracy or fear. This creates a large discrepancy between the crimes that are actually getting reported and ones that aren’t. * In the future, Nadim sees CrimeoMeter being used to send you notifications when you are entering a high crime area. This can provide real time relevant information to users which can help to save a life.  * When you are looking at the crime data in your area, you should always take into account a normalized volume to understand if the numbers are high or low. Anything below 50 is below the national average, and above 50 is above the national average. * Most people think that they can rely on their instincts and experiences and can determine themselves if an area is safe. However, this is actually the opposite way you should be doing this as criminals can use the same logic. * In many cases, more than 80% of 911 calls are irrelevant to the use of 911 and create an issue of the misuse of the emergency line.

Securing Your Asset - Jonathan Cohen - Security Download - Episode # 004

Today’s guest has been involved in real estate since the mid 80’s. He has worked with Morgan Properties, which is the fifth largest owner operator real estate firm in the country. Welcome to the show, Jonathan Cohen. Jonathan is the Chief Operating Officer at Triumph Properties. He joins the host Anna Redmond to talk about the different security options available for different types of properties and what steps properties should take to secure their area. Takeaways: * Each and every property will require different needs for it’s security, but in general you can look at security services almost like a dimmer light switch. You can have them fully on, fully off or you can choose what setting works best for you. * At a minimum, you should consider having controlled access to the property that you manage. Typical ways of having controlled access are a fence, a key FOB or some kind of remote access to get into the property. * Residents will often feel a lack of security around mail for the property. It’s common for criminals to create a master key lock and go through mail and take packages. * Having bright lights in public areas for your property is a good way to make people feel safer. The lighting keeps hidden areas visible and it’s easier to notice others around you as well. * A common question for tenants to ask a property owner is if the property is safe. You can’t guarantee people’s safety because crime can happen anywhere but you can let the tenants know the steps you are taking to make sure everything is secure. * Security patrols are only as good as the people who are patrolling them. If you have hired people who cut corners, then the security patrol won’t be as effective as it could be. * Each property has its own unique idiosyncrasies that security professionals will need to understand. A security audit is helpful for whatever team you hire so they need what areas they need to focus on. Quote of the Show: 15:02 “Crime has no address.
