Summary

We are very excited for this week's show, in which we interview Eric Goldstein--the Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity at DHS CISA! We had a terrific conversation, with a focus on (1) understanding the specific programs and activities that CISA engages in to improve cybersecurity, (2) the highlights from President Biden's cybersecurity executive order, and (3) career pathway insights. We did not neglect the frivolity either--we've got NBA playoff predictions (including that rarest of all NBA discussions: how things are looking for the Knicks and Wizards in the context of the playoffs).

0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 203 of the National Security Law Podcasts.
0:14.0	We're brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas.
0:18.0	Well, when is it? It's Friday morning, May 21st, 2021 while we're recording,
0:24.8	but we're not releasing the episode until next week, probably Monday, May 24th. But whenever it is,
0:31.5	so this has already happened. This is, you're looking back in time, listening back in time.
0:36.2	Either way, I'm Bobby Chesney. I'm Steve Lottick. We're not only in Austin listening back in time either way i'm bobby chesney i'm steve lottock we're

0:56.3	Okay, so it's not exactly on the coast, but we're here in the Gulf region. How about that?
1:01.6	And on the East Coast, joining us is Eric Goldstein, who serves as the executive assistant director
1:06.3	for cybersecurity at SISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrast infrastructure security agency, which is part of the
1:13.5	Department of Homeland Security. So to recap, DHS includes SISA. Sisa, of course, has a
1:19.1	cybersecurity division as one of its major divisions. And Eric Goldstein runs the cybersecurity division,
1:24.7	and yet we still managed to get him on the show today.
1:28.7	I was going to say, it also has the incredibly bad judgment of joining us for a recording.
1:33.2	Eric, welcome to the show.
1:34.9	Thank you, Paul, so much.
1:35.8	It is great to be here.
1:37.3	This has been one of my favorite podcasts for years now, and so it is a real treat to be with you today.
