Live from B-Sides Jacksonville, No Password Required welcomes Gina Yacone, virtual CISO at Trace3. Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields and Sarina Gandy, host and producer of the CyberBay Podcast, host a conversation on Gina’s unconventional career path, leadership under pressure, and the power of community in cybersecurity. With career stops in private investigation, digital forensics, and executive security, Gina brings a people-first, purpose-driven perspective to complex cyber risk.

Gina shares how her early work as a private investigator on high-profile criminal defense cases laid the foundation for her success in cybersecurity. She also reflects on raising her hand for big challenges, the rewards and risks of always saying yes, and how authenticity has guided her. She offers insight on why conference hallway conversations can be just as impactful as keynote sessions.

A visible advocate for the cybersecurity community, Gina speaks openly about setting healthy mentorship boundaries and building resilient professional networks.

The episode wraps with the lifestyle polygraph, where Gina lightens the mood with stories from her roller derby days, dream Amazing Race partners, and why John Wick might just be the ultimate executive assistant.

Danny Jenkins is the CEO of ThreatLocker, the leading cybersecurity company that he built alongside his wife. In this episode, hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields and Kayley Melton of the Cognitive Security Institute follow Danny’s journey from a scrappy IT consultant to leading one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the world.

Danny shares the moment everything changed: watching a small business nearly collapse after a catastrophic ransomware attack. That experience reshaped his mission and ultimately sparked the creation of ThreatLocker. He also reflects on the gritty early days — cold-calling from his living room, coding through the night, and taking on debt before finally landing their first $5,000 customer.

Danny explains the origins of Zero Trust World, his passion for educating IT teams, and why adopting a hacker mindset is essential for modern defenders.

In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Danny relates his early “revenge tech” against school bullies, the place he escapes to when celebrating big wins, and the movie franchise he insists is absolutely a Christmas classic.

In the inaugural episode, they examine what makes mediation work — from creating a calm, constructive environment and fostering self-determination, to the critical roles of listening, empathy, and preparation. Ed and Charles also share practical guidance for lawyers and clients, including Charles’ “three rules” of preparation, how to set expectations, and why even an impasse can be a productive outcome, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how mediation can transform conflict into meaningful conversation and a resolution of the lawsuit.

Steve Orrin is the federal chief technologist at Intel Corp., where he works with some of the largest IT and IS deployments in the world. In this episode, hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields and Kayley Melton of the Cognitive Security Institute explore Steve’s journey from early hacking and biochemistry research, to founding startups, to his current role shaping secure technology at Intel.

Steve discusses how “the edge” has evolved from simple IoT devices into a complex ecosystem powering everything from aircraft to MRI machines. He shares lessons learned from his startup experience, the importance of building diverse and talented teams, and why security must be built in from the start rather than patched on later.

In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Steve reveals the wild project he’d launch if Intel gave him unlimited resources and shares the best poker tell he’s ever spotted while playing at the World Series of Poker.

DeMarcus opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, the unique work-life balance he’s found at Starbucks, and why half of his red teaming comes down to gut instinct. He shares the difference between penetration testing and red teaming, what it’s like preparing for full-scale global operations, and the hacker mindset that still kicks in whenever he walks into a Starbucks café.

In the lifestyle polygraph segment, Sarina poses the ultimate faceoff: what’s the bigger moment — the walk-up to a boxing ring or to the DEF CON keynote stage? And, between Stone Cold, The Rock, and The Undertaker, who would dominate in a capture the flag competition?

He shares his story with hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields and Kayley Melton, executive director of operations at the Cognitive Security Institute, starting with his early days in the Midwestern heavy metal scene.

He opens up about couch surfing his way to hacker conferences as a teenager, the role of music in shaping his professional edge, and why knowledge — not money — has always been his North Star.

On this episode, hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields and Kayley Melton, executive director of operations at the Cognitive Security Institute, sit down with Kurt Sanger — a seasoned cyber law leader and former deputy general counsel at U.S. Cyber Command.

Kurt, a cybersecurity and data privacy attorney, reflects on his 23+ years in the U.S. Marine Corps and how the adrenaline of cyber operations and policy has translated into the private sector, where he now helps clients navigate legal risk in an increasingly tech-driven world. He opens up about the difference between the proactive pace of military cyber law and the more reactive nature of corporate advisory work — and why that shift surprised him.

He also shares how moving to the Tampa Bay area shattered his assumptions about where cyber talent lives, explaining why it’s one of the most vibrant and underrated cybersecurity communities in the country.
