In this episode of the Security Repo Podcast, Dwayne McDaniel sits down with Amy Devine, a systems architect who transitioned from embedded wireless systems to cybersecurity. Amy shares the eye-opening story behind her Blue Team Con talk on how misdirected emails exposed sensitive personal data and what that means for digital identity. The conversation dives deep into privacy, data brokers, and what we sacrifice when companies prioritize convenience over security.

Amy Devine worked in embedded systems development of wireless protocols before switching over to cybersecurity. She currently works as a Systems Architect for AV while also contributing to her cybersecurity community. Her talks to the local community include securing your email and how to avoid online scams. When she’s not sitting at a keyboard, you can find her working out in her other happy place - her home gym. Or running errands. Or trying to keep up with her kid. Or sleeping. You can find her online at her somewhat out of date website https://bitsdanceforme.blog/

She has a bachelors in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois and a masters in cybersecurity from DePaul University.
