The Cybersecurity Evangelist: EP 1 - Demystifying Cybersecurity Myths

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Cybersecurity Evangelist - a cybersecurity podcast for everyone. On the last Gate 15 Risk Roundtable (Ep 9), I eluded to following up on the topic of ransomware for this first episode. But after some deliberation, I thought a better place to start a new podcast on cybersecurity and how it is relevant to everyone, was to myth bust some commonly held beliefs. This episode is part 1 of 2, where I phish for answers by demystifying some myths with help from Travis Farral, including how cybersecurity is more than just a technology/computer problem, how increasing your cyber hygiene and security posture does not have to cost a lot of money, and how easy it is to buy a kit or an application if you are looking to launch your miscreant career! Some great resources mentioned in today's episode to help you understand more about the cyber threats that we all face everyday and to help you increase your cyber hygiene include: Verizon's Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls
