“For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.” - H.L. Mencken

We humans want simple solutions to complex problems.

It's built into our neurology.

And it makes it harder to manage cybersecurity.


The computer and telecommunications revolution that we’re in the middle of is upending our world.


A simple cybercrime example:

In the old days at the end of the last century, if a criminal wanted to rob a bank, the criminal had to go to the bank.  No more.

Now the criminal can steal money from people’s bank accounts over the Internet from anywhere in the world.


Complex problems don’t get solved, they get managed.



Let’s take a step back and ask what we can do to manage our security and privacy; in our homes, in our places of work, in our schools, and throughout our community.


As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom in a fun conversation on the complexities of cybersecurity and privacy.
