Ever catch yourself hoping technology could ride in like a knight in shining armor to battle digital threats?
In the newest episode of Cyber After Hours—S1E7 Cyber Hygiene: The Overlooked Essentials—we dive headfirst into the wild world of AI-powered scam disruption, ethical dilemmas, and everyday security practices that can save you serious headaches.
We kick things off with a clever chatbot that pretends to be an elderly user, stringing scammers along while shielding real victims from harm.
It’s part comedy, part cautionary tale, and it sparks a lively debate about the fact that some scammers are themselves backed into a corner, while others are flat-out villains.
From there, we pivot to the basics of cyber hygiene, comparing outdated accounts and poorly maintained inventories to that messy drawer you keep meaning to organize.
Turns out, decluttering your digital life can make a huge difference in stopping threats before they become full-blown problems.
We also unpack how a structured approach to evaluating security tools can help separate the real deal from the snake oil.
Finally, we highlight the struggles that small and medium-sized businesses face in a market often overloaded with expensive enterprise products.
Whether it’s exploring open-source gems like OpenVAS or juggling too many security tasks on a tight budget, we offer practical ways to keep your defenses strong without breaking the bank.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by endless security demands, this episode is a must-listen.
Join us for fresh perspectives, some well-earned laughs, and tips you can put into action right away.
