Cyber Coffee Hour

In this episode of the Cyber Coffee Hour, we chat with Kevin Latchford, an experienced network and systems engineer who now focuses on cybersecurity, DevOps, and ML/AI. As the "Main Guy" of NoVA IT Guy in Northern Virginia, Kevin shares insights from his recent work on the security implications of Large Language Models (LLMs), including a shocking case where an AI was manipulated to sell a Chevy truck for just $1! He discusses the intersection of cybersecurity and DevOps, offering practical advice on designing secure infrastructure and navigating AI security challenges. Join us for an engaging conversation that sheds light on the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and its vulnerabilities! ☕

📖 The Cyber Coffee Hour comprises Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr. and Alfredzo B. Nash Jr., two cyber experts from Mount Vernon, NY, who love a good cup of coffee and conversation. They have surveyed the cyber podcast landscape and want to see a change. For shows featuring the world's CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs, the perspective of those getting started in their journey must be emphasized. 

The mission of the Cyber Coffee Hour intentionally features guests of all stages of the cyber journey. Still, it prioritizes the voices undergoing gatekeeping, racism, and other biases while trying to make their way into the cybersecurity practicum. The Cyber Coffee Hour uniquely spreads the cybersecurity gospel by featuring guests with and without a cybersecurity background, with cybersecurity as the common denominator.
