80% of people prioritize their personal privacy over their organizational security.
The average person is overloaded with passwords to remember. What if instead of giving the same old online security training, we started making it about personal privacy? When you think about it, your company has your salary information, your social security details, and your home address, and they have an obligation to make sure it never gets leaked.
By talking about data security in terms of personal privacy, you can not only get the ear of the people in your organization - but you can also make your company more secure. We know that people are sick and tired of passwords, each person has upwards of 97 passwords as of 2022. The answer is not to write your password in a book, it's not writing them in an app, or having a browser remember all your passwords.
What would it look like to go password-less? With the technology we have available today we can rely on biometrics, multi-factor authentication, and single sign on.
In this week's episode, we interview Mircosoft Partner of the year, Denis O'Shea for his take on what data security looks like for 2022 and beyond. If you're wondering how to be more aware of your digital privacy whether you're working at home or in an office, this is the episode for you.
THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW

- What role do generational differences play in the approach to data security? [20:44]
