Where does cybersecurity fall on your list?

Are you a list person?

 

Do you enjoy making to do lists?

 

Do you enjoy checking things off that list?

 

Or are lists your superpower to make sure nothing gets missed?

 

Me?

 

When it comes to travel, I AM THE QUEEN OF THE LISTS. Especially when I first started travelling.

 




You see, I didn’t want to miss a thing. Whether it was items I’d need on my journey or places to go - I had to have it all down. My packing list was embarrassingly long and listed everything out in painful detail. It didn’t list five shirts - it described each individual shirt on the list. [This was also before I learned the power of traveling with carry on luggage only so there was an outfit for each day!] I spent weeks and weeks researching places in guide books for THE things to see and do. I’d make lists and lists of the possibilities. Ranking my favorites as well. Then I’d organize the lists by location in to cram as much as possible into one visit.

 

And cram I did. I drug my friend all over London to see “everything” and 19 years later she still talks about how much she saw and the exhaustion that came with it! 

 

That’s the thing about lists. They can be powerful or they can be a burden.

 

Lists are burden when you spend more time making the lists than doing the lists.

Lists are a burden when you’re so laser focused on the list you’re not open for opportunities.

Lists are kryptonite when you keep pushing the stuff you dislike back down to the bottom.


Lists are powerful when they ensure you don’t skip a step in an important procedure.

Lists are powerful when they clear your mind once all the ‘stuff’ is written down.

Lists are powerful when you list your accomplishments!

 

So… if you find yourself constantly pushing things like keeping your business safe from cyber attacks or trying to figure out why your emails are stuck in spam to the bottom of your list then I’d like to chat with you. We can chat about what you’re not doing, why you’re not doing it, and how to get your over the hump so you can move it to the top of your list, and then check it off.

 

Request some time to chat with me today.

Time is the longest distance between 2 points

 "Time is the longest distance between two points."   These words by Tennessee Williams resonate deeply, considering the fragility of our memories and the challenges they pose in crucial moments. Imagine finding yourself on the witness stand, desperately grasping for recollections from the distant past. In this crucial moment, the true weight of time becomes evident.   The importance of detailed case notes cannot be overstated in legal proceedings. They are a vital link that connects our present selves with our past actions. Without them, our memories may falter, we have nothing to refresh our memory, and the quest for truth becomes an arduous struggle.   Case notes are the guardians of our actions, meticulously capturing what we did, discovered, what we found, and even what we didn't. They are the tangible records that safeguard the integrity of our recollections, preventing them from slipping away into the abyss of time.   Picture yourself in ...

How AI & Deepfakes lead to Sextortion

Image
Buckle up, and prepare yourself for the dark side of technological progress because AI is no exception to the rule. Imagine a world where scammers wield the power of AI to create mind-boggling deepfakes, exposing you in compromising situations. These sextortion scams have reached a whole new level of maliciousness. Let me shed some light on two prevalent ways these scams are executed: Picture this: someone close to you possesses naked pictures of you and shamelessly uses them to manipulate you into doing something you'd rather avoid. It's a terrifying thought, especially considering the perpetrator's familiarity with you. OR Picture receiving a random email that boldly claims to have a treasure trove of your intimate photos. Your disbelief drives you to click the link, only to realize you've fallen into a trap. As a result, your online accounts and even your beloved devices become vulnerable to compromise. I worked several sextortion cases in the FBI; some were your ave...
