Ever wonder how someone juggling customer service, consulting, and sales can still find time for a debate on decaf coffee and cyber threats?
In this episode of Cyber After Hours, we sit down with Eric Gerena—whose colorful career path gives him a refreshingly unique perspective on staying motivated and delivering real value to clients.
From demystifying the art of sales (spoiler: it’s really about solving people’s problems) to revealing how post-quantum cryptography could upend today’s security protocols, we cover the spectrum of what’s next in cybersecurity.
Think biometrics, physical keys, and the cutting-edge world of quantum computing—all in one candid conversation.
But we don’t stop at the theoretical: we dig into practical insights, like how password managers (hello, YubiKey) and multi-factor authentication are making waves in industries like healthcare.
We also tackle the cultural hurdles of adopting new security tech—because let’s face it, not everyone is as excited about password changes as we are.
And yes, there’s a lighthearted detour about decaf coffee (trust us, it’s worth the laugh).
Tune in to find out why continuous innovation in digital security is crucial, what the future might hold for your organization’s authentication methods, and how a little bit of humor can keep you sane in the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity.
Join us for this lively deep dive—you won’t want to miss it!
