Episode description

This interview blew my mind!! You are going to love it! And not only that, you’re going to want to share it with everyone you know!

Cyber security expert, Maria-Kristina is my guest and not only does she have an impressive resume (worked at the Pentagon to name one), she is so fun to talk to! We are talking about how to protect your family from cyber criminals.

Maria-Kristina breaks things down in a really simple to understand way which is one of the reasons I love her! We talk about the two main areas of risk to look out for, how to be the “Chief Information Officer” of your home, and what to do if you have been involved in a cyber security breach.

In this episode, we talk about teaching our kids to have a “general scepticism”, to notice if they feel fear or shame when interacting online, and using those feelings as a red flag to alert them that something’s not right. It’s time to talk to our kids about ai and deep fakes because they are becoming more and more common and sophisticated. She also suggests that we use the “grocery store rule” in sharing personal information with others.
