Our Next Episode

We are thrilled to be chatting with Jackie McGuire during a special podcast being recorded at the 2026 ISACA Los Angeles Chapter’s Spring Conference on March 30, 2026 in front of attendees. If you can make it to the conference, it will be fun time!

Jackie McGuire is a cybersecurity analyst and AI researcher known for connecting big technology trends to real-world community risk. Lately, she’s been especially vocal about the proposed AI data center developments in Marana, Arizona, raising thoughtful concerns around power demand, financial sustainability, public transparency, and what large-scale AI infrastructure could mean for local communities. She brings a sharp perspective that blends cybersecurity, economics, and emerging technology — making her a compelling voice on where AI, critical infrastructure, and public policy are starting to collide.

Jackie is a thought leader, cyber security expert, data science and AI nerd, and outspoken advocate for underrepresented people in technology. With over 20 years of experience spanning Main Street, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley, people rely on Jackie to connect dots they don’t see and provide the honest feedback others won’t. Jackie strives to demystify technology, cut through FUD (and other marketing lingo), and help tell the stories of the people and companies who are building and protecting the world around us.

Podcast also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and RSS.
