On this episode, we sit down with Trevor Hilligoss, Director of Security Research and the Research & Innovation division of SpyCloud Labs. From his beginnings in the Army Criminal Investigation Division to his leadership role in cybersecurity’s private sector, Trevor shares how investigative instincts and military discipline shaped his approach to digital forensics, leadership, and fighting cybercrime.
Hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A., and Kayley Melton, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Cognitive Security Institute and founder of Reality Shift, explore with Trevor the biggest misconceptions about cybercriminals, why micromanagement is a leadership pitfall, and how proactive cybersecurity strategies can change the game before an attack even happens.
Plus, in the Lifestyle Polygraph segment, Trevor talks about adding Tony Hawk to his ultimate escape room team, his boardroom walk-up song, and his East Coast-meets-West Coast breakfast—because balance is key in cybersecurity and in starting the day off right.
