081 Thwarting Organized Crime and Protecting Major Telecoms

Our guest today is Dale Drew. He’s chief security officer at Zayo Group, a global provider of communications, colocation, and cloud infrastructure. Previously, he’s held leadership positions at some of the largest and most influential telecommunications companies in the world, including CenturyLink, Level 3 Communications, and MCI Communications. He shares the story of his unlikely start in the security industry, sparked by a stolen family checkbook, which led to a position with the Arizona Attorney General’s office, working to fight organized crime and racketeering. We’ll get his views on threat intelligence, and we’ll learn why he’s leading an effort to champion open source tools in the industry.
