Episode-2747- Digital Security for the Modern Age
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:30:26 — 20.7MB)
Andy is an average guy with an above average interest in digital privacy and security. He’s been a member of the TSP community since about 2015, and is currently seeking independence on 20 some acres in Southern Indiana. He, his wife and kids are homesteading and living the good life there.
While he’s always had an interest in privacy, in 2016 Andy really started to dive deep into digital privacy and security. With no background in computers, programming, etc (and very little skill either) Andy had to learn about what Cryptography is, why it matters, and what the average person can do to protect themselves from an ever evolving host of digital threats.
As he read, he found that most security and privacy sources are a little, ahem, advanced for most people. He took a brief stint at blogging, and has developed a handy understanding of the basics in the last few years, and now applies his skills in teaching and breaking down complex topics to spread private and secure practices to family, friends, and anyone else who will listen.
