Legal professionals are increasingly using AI to build internal automations, workflow tools, and client-facing applications, often without the involvement of the IT or security departments. This episode examines what happens when "vibe coding" meets the legal environment: client data handled by code nobody fully understands, third-party dependencies nobody vetted, and compliance obligations nobody mapped.  Listeners will leave with practical tips for enabling AI-assisted code development without abandoning their duty of care.

Brenda Albeno, GRC Manager at Loeb & Loeb, joined host Heather Morrow for the She Secures podcast to share her journey from IT operations into cybersecurity.
Her entry into the field began with an unexpected project: building a physical asset inventory from scratch after the firm had none. What she assumed would be a quick task turned into weeks of detective work, uncovering laptops stashed under beds, cribs, and even in bathrooms. The director of security was so impressed with both the outcome and her approach that he invited her to join the security team. Fifteen years later, she's still in the field.
Brenda is candid about the steep learning curve she faced, crediting late nights of self-study, her Security Plus certification, and the mentorship of her director, Mark Ewing Chao, as the pillars that carried her through. She describes him as someone who believed in her before she fully believed in herself.
Today, Brenda's passion is governance, risk, and compliance. Her days are a constant juggle of vendor assessments, client security questionnaires, policy reviews, and cross-functional collaboration with IT, legal, and leadership. She sees herself as a translator between technical teams and legal stakeholders, focused on building programs that people will actually follow, not just policies that look good on paper.
She closes with a message for women in and around the industry: she wishes more people, especially women, were exposed to cybersecurity earlier in their careers, so they could see just how many different paths the field has to offer.

Join Mailise Johnson, Imare' Jordan, and their moderator, Lakeesha Bailey, for the first part of a three-part discussion about mentoring inside of law firms.

Your legal expertise gets you into the room. Your leadership identity determines whether your voice shapes the outcome.As expectations of legal professionals continue to rise, influence, credibility, and executive presence have become essential leadership skills. This session introduced Leadership Identity—a practical framework for intentionally shaping how you show up, how you’re experienced, and the reputation you build when it matters most.Listeners learned how Leadership Identity becomes a real advantage when others trust your judgment, seek your perspective, and rely on you in high‑stakes moments. Through real‑world examples and immediately applicable strategies, listeners gained tools to strengthen credibility beyond technical expertise, expand their influence in decision‑making conversations, and bring a steady executive presence to complex, high‑visibility situations. Walk away ready to move from a trusted legal expert to a strategic leader others rely on.
