Episode Description
Why do so many business leaders insist on using unsecure systems and software development practices? Often to skimp on IT budgets and to race to production. Or leaders with marketing expertise, but no actual tech understanding, make bad decisions to align with their sales tactics and marketing messages. Or, for other reasons. But with demonstrably ongoing damaging consequences. In this episode we speak about the critical need for secure software engineering, development and testing, and the need to follow stringent, secure software development practices to stem the consistently increasing digital hemorrhaging of security incidents and privacy breaches. Listen to this episode to learn the importance of building security into the full software and systems development lifecycle from Dr. Rhonda Farrell. Dr. Farrell is a worldwide recognized cybersecurity expert and instructor, with multiple cybersecurity and privacy certifications, including those in software security development. Learn actions that need to be taken to improve the current inadequate state of systems and software development and maintenance security practices. Also hear the need to engage pre-school through secondary and post-graduation education students about the absolute need to build secure technology, and how to do so. Dr. Farrell will also provide information about the Cyber & STEAM Global Innovation Alliance (CSTGIA) she founded, CSTGIA goals, the resources it provides, and describe how everyone can get involved.

Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor
New shows the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
