Hi and welcome to malicious life. We've got a special segment for you this week, a little peak into the future. With us for this

segment is Sam Curry and if the name Sam Currie rings a bell for you that's because

Sam is a frequent guest in our show. But the reason Sam will be joining us today is that in

addition to his day-to-day duties as chief security officer at Cyber Reason, he also

takes the time to try and peek into the future and decipher the trends

and technologies that will impact cyber security in the near future.

For this work, Sam recently won an award as a 30-year visionary from SC magazine.

So Sam, welcome to Malicious Life once again.

Thanks for having me, Ron.

It's good to be here.

Great to talk to you again.

And we'll start by saying that the base of our talk today

is a live webinar that you're going to host next Tuesday,

December 17th, under the title The 2020 Crystal Ball.

So we'll give you more details a bit later for those of the listeners who wish to join that

webinar. But before we do we do Sam who's the intended

audience for these security predictions is it the engineers the

executives the sales engineers all of the above?

That's a great question, because I think the secret answer is me.

I'm the audience.

When I write these, I have in mind somebody who is a little bit of an analyst a little bit of a see so but really anybody anybody could benefit from it

I you know I've been in the security industry as I guess I see magazine said for 30 years nearly.
