Becoming a Physical Security Technology Manager | Paul Nieto III

If your principal's main residence alarm system is going off at 2
in the morning, can you turn it off? Technology awareness goes a
lot further than 'becoming a hacker' or learning to code. Today
we are delighted to speak with Paul Nieto III a Physical Security
Technology Manager about how the EP profession is modernizing but
in a much more accessible way than many might fear. Join us as we
ask:


Where should the executive protection professional go to
augment their technology skills?

Are CTF (capture the flag) exercises and games really just as
complicated as a crossword or a sudoku and can anyone try them?

How does technology awareness compliment career development
to become a 'trusted security advisor'?

How can physical security professionals embark on becoming a
security technology manager?

Are some EP professionals still reluctant to familiarize
themselves with technology?
