Information theft and ransomware are two of the most widespread cybersecurity problems we face today. Individuals and organizations of all sizes are suffering significant losses. I’ve talked about the technical issues before, but today, I’m going to focus on the basics everyone needs to know to protect themselves, their families, and their business.

Welcome to Vlogmas 2022! Like many of my YouTube colleagues, I will be participating this year and posting a new video for your enjoyment every day in the month of December. 

Have you seen a Facebook ad for a cool product at a price that looks too good to be true? Chances are that it is, and here's how one of the latest scams works.

Protecting data on USB memory sticks and portable USB drives might make the difference between losing some hardware and the expense and embarrassment of a data breach. In this week's episode of SecurityGuy, I discuss a few different options as well as the products I use to protect client data on a day-to-day basis.

This is not a sponsored video, and there are no affiliate links. I only suggest products that I use myself and recommend to my consulting clients. A sincere thank you to Apricorn (https://apricorn.com/) for sending over their newest products so I could show them to you instead of the older ones that have been bouncing around in my bag for a few years.
