Description: Calling all computer nerds to listen to this week’s episode with Chris Cruz as he delves into the exciting world of cybersecurity! In this week’s episode, Chris walks us through how he was first introduced to analytical work, his transition into the private industry, and the interesting people he was able to meet and learn from thanks to the power of the Internet. Chris’s badge story involves using analytical skill sets such as mapping (GIS) and telephone toll analysis to investigate and demonstrate whether another employee was in fact defrauding the agency by claiming to clock into places when he really didn’t. Chris and Jason also take Don’t Be That Analyst calls. Chris is currently the Cybersecurity Program Manager for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
