Technology and its Impact on Users and Cybersecurity, with special guest, David Willis

Security Masterminds

Episode Summary
Technology is everywhere in society these days from our communication, shopping, and commerce capabilities. Whether email, online purchases, or using the blockchain, it amounts to large amounts of data being collected about people. All of this data, while easy to store, is also harder to manage and protect. As users, people exhibit behaviors when using this data, and the technology is learning those behaviors to effectively identify if it's this person based on geography, time, and frequency. All of this, along with being able to help people properly secure their data, and when they make an error, they receive a small learning mission to complete to help understand the mistake without feeling inadequate or reprimanded.
In this month's podcast, David Willis shares his experiences with technology, human behaviors, and micro-learning based on his years of military and technical expertise over the past twenty years.
