Cybersecurity isn't just about technology—it's about people. In this eye-opening episode of the Cyber Distortion Podcast, we're joined by Jessie Bolton, CEO of Bolt Resources and former Vice President of North Texas ISSA, to tackle one of the industry's most pressing challenges: the human side of the cybersecurity skills gap.
