Ritesh Kotak has dedicated his career to exploring how technology could be used to create public safety and trust between our communities and public institutions. He quickly realized there is a gap in the public's knowledge on how to protect themselves from cybercrimes and the importance of cybersecurity. Ritesh joined us on The Pivot to share his knowledge about maximizing the benefits of technological advancement to connect communities while learning the key role cybersecurity plays in protecting us from some of the pitfalls of technology. As our society relies on technology more than ever to facilitate connections between communities and institutions, whether that be online education, telemedicine or accessing legal support digitally, we must learn to build a digital first infrastructure focused on the safety of users.
