This is Deciphering The Net, with Fahmida Rashid, Melanie Ensign, and Dennis Fisher.

"I am an award-winning technology journalist with experience covering nearly every aspect of the technology industry, my primary focus is writing about cybersecurity and privacy. I've written in various formats, including newspapers, online media, and magazines. I am currently a senior managing editor at Decipher, covering security for an enterprise IT audience. I write about cloud security and networking, application security, DevOps, and all the areas in between. Previously, as the senior writer at InfoWorld and CSO Online, I focused on technical analysis and commentary for IT and security professionals. As the Editor-in-Chief of RSA Conference, I developed year-round content to engage with the infosec community on a more regular basis. I was a senior writer at eWEEK, senior technical editor for CRN Test Center, and a reporter covering networking infrastructure for Forbes.com. I started my journalism career writing business news at Women's Wear Daily."
