I'll be honest upfront, this Friday's Op-Ed is a bit self-serving as it introduces the first chapter of my upcoming book "Get Cyber Smart: A User-friendly Guide to Protecting Your Family, Your Business, and Yourself, online.

The book releases on June 28, but I discuss who the book is for and read a bit from the introduction.

PLEASE Give a listen and TELL a friend (or family member).
