Your digital life is a target, and most people have no idea how exposed they already are.
This episode is your tactical briefing on digital self-defense: how to protect your identity, harden your accounts, and reduce your digital footprint before something goes wrong.
Built from vetted guidance by CISA, NIST, the FTC, and the National Cybersecurity Alliance, and filtered through 24 years of U.S. Air Force Security Forces experience, this is practical awareness training, not tech talk.
In this episode:
• Password security and password managers
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Phishing, vishing, and social engineering
• Device protection and software hygiene
• Home Wi-Fi hardening and public network risks
• VPN selection and use
• Privacy settings and app permissions
• Data brokers and reducing your exposure
• Encryption and full-disk protection
• Credit freezes and identity monitoring
This is not paranoia. It is preparation.
This is not tech talk. It is tactical training.
