33 - Cybersecurity Part II & #thedailybreach with Robert Orenbaun

This week, I am re-joined by Robert Orenbaun who was my guest in Episode 2. We pick up the conversation on cybersecurity and discuss caution vs paranoia, particularly in regard to QR codes and skimmers. Whether privacy is an illusion and accountability for data breaches. He educates me on a security approach called zero trust and on social engineering and whether spies really are trying to get your data. We wrap up with some advice for getting into the cybersecurity profession.

I was glad to have him back and hope you enjoy!
