#52 You’ve probably heard about NFTs becoming one of the next big things in the digital world. Non-fungible tokens, as the full name goes, are a way to attach scarcity to digital items—thus creating value. This allows for them to be bought, collected, traded, invested in and so forth. But since they’re also non-tangible, this concept can sometimes be a challenge to wrap your head around. What are NFTs exactly, and how do they work? Why do we even need to create this artificial scarcity? Here’s a quick dive into this growing trend and what people are doing with it.

#50 Breaches of sensitive data are extremely costly for organizations when you tally data loss, stock price impact, and mandated fines from violations of GDPR or other regulations. They can also diminish the trust of those who become the victims of identity theft, credit card fraud, or other malicious activities as a result of those breaches. In 2021, the number of data breaches climbed from 68% to 1,862% (the highest in 17 years) with an average cost of 4.24 million each. About 45 million people were impacted by healthcare data breaches alone- triple the number impacted just three years earlier.

In this podcast we talk about:

Data breaches and what cybercriminals can do with your data
Best practices for protecting your organization
Tools and Technologies to protect your sensitive data

#47 Cybercrime reports have gone up over 300% in the last couple years. And a surprisingly large number of breaches happen with company employees involved, often because of mistakes like falling for phishing baits. Any insider in the company can potentially be a point of vulnerability that can expose the whole network. That’s why a Zero Trust model, which assumes potential breach through anyone (inside or out), is the strongest and best cybersecurity strategy today. But many people have some confusion about what Zero Trust really entails. Here’s a rundown of what a Zero Trust framework is made of, as well as a clarification of some things it’s not.
