Ep. 5 | A New Level of Thinking

Albert Einstein famously said: “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them”
Bill Gates clearly articulated the thinking that got us into our cybersecurity mess when he wrote in his 1999 book Business@The Speed of Thought: “How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose.”
Where are cybersecurity and privacy in Bill’s prediction, you ask? Exactly!! They’re not. They’re missing. Cybersecurity and privacy did not make it into Bill’s level of thinking until 2002.
Join Stan and Julie as they riff on the level of thinking required for cybersecurity and privacy.
We like to drive our cars fast. So we ensure they have good brakes, safety and crash systems, and drivers. And we need our vehicles to provide safety and performance feedback to the driver. A high-performance car without these is a danger. So we require car manufacturers to build safety and crash systems.
Central to this new level of cybersecurity and privacy thinking is the “driver’s” need for transparency in what applications are doing with the information we entrust to them … and the pitfalls waiting for companies failing to include security and customer privacy in their level of thinking. (We’re talking about you, GoodRX!!)
As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom in a fun conversation on the complexities of cybersecurity and privacy.
