In this final episode of The Lockdown, I reflect on the journey of the podcast, and explaining why I’m redirecting my energy to other projects. I discuss the importance of practical privacy measures, measures over an ‘all-or-nothing’ approach, as well as sharing my thoughts on threat modeling, and address several listener questions about privacy tools and self-hosting. I also introduce a new concept from my recent blog post about the “space between” in cybersecurity, examining how compartmentalization of identities can serve as an early warning system against social engineering attacks.

In this week’s episode:

  1. Why this is the final episode
  2. The all-or-nothing fallacy
  3. Airport facial recognition and the Clearview AI threat
  4. Threat modeling for different life situations
  5. The CIA triad and why 100% security doesn’t exist

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
