M Is For Malware. E Is For Education | With Curtis Brazzell And Kandis Weiler
By Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin
Guests: Curtis Brazzell and Kandis Weiler
It is almost like we got so fascinated by the first Walkman, that by the time we played both the A and B sides of our first album on cassette, we are now holding a smartphone with a wireless headset, a touch-less payment system, an AI-driven personal assistant, and a gazillion apps that connect us with our home, office, circle of friends, and pretty much the rest the entire world.
I think that we have finally realized that we went too far following the blinking lights, without knowing where we were going. Maybe we even missed the point for "why" are we going there? Can we still fill this education gap we all talk about and advance the social norms necessary to live in this cyber-connected society?
We talk about it this and more with Curtis Brazzell - an infosec professional that, inspired by the cyber safety future of his two young kids, decided to publish an illustrated book that teaches kids—and adults—about important cybersecurity terms. We are also joined by Kandis Weiler—the Chief of Girls Education at the CyberJitsu Girls Academy to expand the conversation as she has spent many years in the InfoSec profession and is tackling these challenges head-on. She is now leading this WCS program.
Go on. Have a listen! Now’s the time.
