Listen Later

From your home's Wi-Fi network and smart devices to the information data brokers sell about you online, your digital life presents a vast attack surface for sophisticated criminals. For wealthy families and family offices, the stakes are astronomically high. These "perfect targets" combine immense wealth with often-underdeveloped security protocols, making them prime candidates for what one expert calls the "Ocean's 11" of hackers, bad actors who will study a family for a year before making their move.

In this episode, Sarah Rosen, a cybersecurity expert from BlackCloak, joins the On Pointe podcast to unpack the critical digital threats facing families today. Sarah breaks down the fundamental steps every individual should take, from hardening device security settings and creating secure guest networks to understanding the dangers of SIM card swapping and the vital importance of protecting your email above all else. Learn how seemingly innocuous data, like a Roomba's floor plan of your home, can be used against you and what you can do to reclaim your digital privacy and security.
