Tracy Bannon talks Cyber Security & Cars (Tech Transforms Crossover)

Many people will agree that moving public services to general availability is a good idea and creates mass convenience, but it also opens up new attack and data collection vectors in places we had never expected. There are so many seemingly innocuous data fragments out in the wild… Data from systems that we take for granted each day as we move more-and-more connected services and devices “to the cloud.” 

Which means, as Cyber Security Professionals, we must remain vigilant about how we protect these tools, services, and even our automobiles which have a direct correlation to protecting individuals, families and their privacy. We need to consider how seemingly innocent and disparate systems could be linked together through common data points to create a vulnerability. Did your bluetooth earbud connected to your phone just make your car open to an attack? 

A better understanding of why Cyber Security is important and why data protection is crucial to our everyday success is what we're going to chat about on this special Tech Transforms & Break/Fix Podcast "SO WHAT?" crossover, and I’m your host Carolyn Ford, along with special guest co-host Tracy Bannon and Crew Chief Eric along for the ride!
