No Password Required: Executive Director at National Cybersecurity Alliance, a People-First Leader, and a Cyber Satirist

The No Password Required Podcast is dedicated to introducing and celebrating the practitioners, leaders, researchers, and individuals who are shaping the cybersecurity industry. Join us for an in-depth conversation that explores our guests' personalities, expertise, and the path that led them into cybersecurity. The team also discusses current cyber threats and readiness tips for security professionals and business leaders alike.

Lisa Plaggemier is the executive director at the National Cybersecurity Alliance. Renowned for her people-first leadership style, Lisa’s passions for collaboration and humor drive transformative change for personal and corporate cybersecurity.

In this episode, Lisa joins Carlton Fields’ Jack Clabby and KnowBe4’s Kayley Melton to discuss best practices for effective communication in the cybersecurity industry, sharing along the way Lisa's journey from marketing executive to cybersecurity leadership. Lisa explains the story behind the creation of “Kubikle” — a cybersecurity-based comedy series that is a much-watch for fans of satire and technology. Lisa also unveils the NCA’s “Oh, Behave!” report, which this year presents the results of a survey of over 6,000 people in the United States and internationally on their cybersecurity attitudes and behaviors. With wit and style, this report emphasizes the vital role that behavioral science plays in strengthening cybersecurity.

To start off the last episode of 2023, Jack and Kayley discuss an upcoming highlight in the cybersecurity calendar: the 2024 Sunshine Cyber Conference! Brace yourselves for this exciting event, featuring a roster of distinguished No Password Required alumni, including a session with our very own Kayley Melton and cybersecurity rock star Winn Schwartau.
