    290 - Michael Nouguier - CISO for Richie May and RM Cyber
    28 Oct 2026
    In this episode of Colorado=Security, Chelsea and Joe celebrate Castle Rock landing at #15 on WalletHub’s best small cities list, unveil the new Colorado = Security swag shop, and dig into why Colorado VCs are moving from software to hardware and defense tech, plus the energy and water debate around Weld County’s new AI data center. They also break down the foreign intrusions at two small Colorado water utilities, Rank One’s $64.3M DOJ contract for its evidence platform (yes, it’s called DERP) and who’s accountable when AI reviews evidence, and FusionAuth’s “Black Friday test” for identity platforms. They wrap with upcoming ISC2, ISSA and DC303 events heading into November. Frank talks with Michael Nouguier, CISO for Ritchie May and partner at RM Cyber, about the decisions that shape cybersecurity beyond the technology itself. They explore risk acceptance, AI and the changing threat landscape, security culture, cybersecurity education, and the balance between business, convenience, and security. Michael also shares his perspective on ethical hacking, raising the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, and why keeping humans at the center of cybersecurity may be more important than ever.

    Welcome back to Episode 289 of the Colorado Equals Security podcast with Joe McCallister and Chelsea Weiss! This month, we are hitting the biggest tech and security headlines impacting the Front Range and beyond: Big Tech Moves: Breaking down a massive $100 million federal grant for Broomfield's Quantinuum, Amazon's new 70-acre land grab for an Aurora distribution hub, and a Denver company's long-haul fiber deal with Nvidia. Culture & Infrastructure: How a new Denver Oktoberfest is brewing up serious economic ties with Munich, plus a look at Rowan Digital Infrastructure's $4.2 billion data center project in Texas. The Cyber Frontlines: We unpack the Rockstar Games compromise, the rising threat of AI "vibe coding" creating a new generation of shadow IT, and why modern security leaders must act as business accelerators instead of just playing gatekeeper. Stick around for our comprehensive rundown of September's local security events, including all the details you need for the upcoming Security Leader Summit Six! In this month's wide ranging and candid conversation, Frank sits down with longtime friend and cybersecurity leader Serge CEO of SpyderSec to explore the messy, fascinating, and often uncomfortable realities of modern cybersecurity. Across multiple segments, they dig into: Why pricing in cybersecurity consulting is so chaotic How subcontracting layers distort cost and value Whether U.S. citizens should ever be allowed to “hack back” The ethical responsibility of instructors when teaching offensive tools A real world story of shutting down an unethical classroom exercise The biggest strategic challenge facing CISOs today — and why authority rarely matches accountability This episode blends real experience, tough questions, and honest discussion — exactly what Colorado = Security listeners expect.
