We can’t have asked for a better guest for our 10th episode.    Allie Mellen is talented across the board when it comes to cyber. She understands the role technology plays, how to build security processes, and most importantly the people behind our SOCs and infosec teams.    At Forster, as an industry analyst, Allie focuses on all things security operations and advises businesses on how best to build their security programs as well as assess technologies and vendors.    During our sit down we talked about the challenges of being an analyst, the challenges of being a woman in the industry, Allie’s career path, how to hone writing skills, what Allie is seeing from a technology trend perspective, and as always a little bit of what she does outside of work!    If you want to know what the people behind the Foster Wave’s are like, how you can grow your career, or just what's happening in the industry, this is the episode for you.
