NCF-324 Cybersecurity for Everyone
Episode description
I hope everyone enjoyed the break! In today's episode, we have guest Scott Schober, President and CEO of Berkeley Varitronics Systems and a Cyber Expert who has published three books on Cybersecurity. Mr. Schober has had multiple altercations with getting hacked and has extensive knowledge of this matter, saying, "I call it the Digital footprint; the more you put out there about yourself, your whereabouts, your likes, it creates a digital profile about you which leaves a trail of breadcrumbs about you"(Schober.) One may think this is not a massive deal at the time, but as the information you leave behind becomes more extensive, this leads more of a target on your back to getting hacked or worse. You can control what you see on the internet and your phone, for example, "Say you look up or go buy a pregnancy test at the store; in the following weeks, you will see various ads and promos on your phone about subjects related to pregnancy tests, babies, etc." (Gorog.) This is an interesting and almost eerie subject to discuss because your phone can decide what you see based on your searches and interests. Go check out more on Scott Schober!
