Jenna Waters: Cybersecurity and Compliance


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In this episode, Lisa talks with Jenna Waters, Cybersecurity Consultant at True Digital Security.  Jenna has had a unique journey into compliance, as she enlisted in the Navy, was in counterintelligence, and then focusing on STEM in college.  Jenna talks about the responsibility of being in the intelligence field in national security, what it is like to lead a team as a young woman in the military and how she decided on her career path. She also discusses key things to keep in mind as an ethics and compliance officer as you look at data security, and the importance of appropriate, objective risk assessments.  She also distinguishes between cybersecurity and cyber-reactivity, and what that can mean for you and your organization – and how not preparing for cyberattacks can lead to reputational damage and loss of confidence by customers. And for those of you who are “Harry Potter” fans, we get into a discussion about which house and character each one would want to be (or would want, in Lisa’s case).
We hope that you enjoyed this episode and welcome any feedback you may wish to send in to gwicpod@gmail.com.

Have The Right Attitude with Svetlana Karakova


 
In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Svetlana Casanova, a candidate she placed. Svetlana’s story, Mary Ann says, “is a true example of how networking, the right mindset, with dedication, perseverance and a service orientation can overcome even the toughest of challenges.” 
 

 
Svetlana moved to the US due to her marriage and was trying to find a job. Mary Ann comments that her advanced education, her work experience, and her pleasant personality made her an excellent candidate. However, it was still difficult for her to find a suitable job. She accepted Mary Ann’s advice to take a temporary job to increase her chances of getting a permanent position, which she was able to secure afterwards. Unfortunately, she was laid off because of the pandemic. She kept in touch with her former employers, however, and when things got better at the company, they asked her to return in another position.
 
A positive attitude, flexibility, and good work ethic are the traits employers look for right now, Mary Ann says. Employees who try to make a contribution to the greater good of the company are the ones who will be rewarded. “Stay positive, work hard, network,” Svetlana advises listeners. “If you have to take a temp job, do it. Always go the extra mile and have gratitude.”
