In episode two of our podcast series Compass Check: Global Affairs, Jason Pandak, Vice President of Capital Markets at AmeriVet Securities, connects with cybersecurity expert and retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Brian Denman. Colonel Denman is a member of our advisory board and he retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2019, after a distinguished 25-year career in communications and cyberspace warfare.
