NCF-339 New Frontier of Individual Empowerment

Welcome back, everybody, to the New Cyber Frontier Podcast. We continue the Third in the Eight-episode series with Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog. In this episode, we discuss the nature of newly evolving open markets in comparison to human historical examples of frontiers. The digital and virtual frontier has infinite possibilities that we barely have scratched the surface of, raising the question, How far can we go? In this digital realm, numerous companies have grown over the years to become the largest entities in the world with an entire virtual presence. Over the next few years, many more are anticipated to make a digital transformation. Participation in the post-digital transformation era has been mostly restricted to large entities; these large companies are difficult to compete with if you are new or entering markets because small businesses and individuals are unknown and untrusted. The individual is relatively uninvolved in this digital transformation; their efforts and digital works are the currency of large entrenched companies. The individual is unprotected. Dr. Gorog explains, "Should the right tools to protect the individual exist, the value of the individual to enter is high, the cost is low, and the entry is instant." The potential is high if the tools existed to do it." Heading in a direction where the individual protects their data, not the company, is a new frontier today. We are looking towards empowering individuals in this technical and virtual era. Tune in to today's episode of New Cyber Frontier.
