Episode Description

With it being back to school season in the US, today, we're crafting a safe cyber blend. to equip students of all ages as they continue their academic journeys.

Recently, the White House released a statement emphasizing the need for cyber security in our academic environments, especially K through 12. I think the statistic goes on to say that out of all the schools that experienced a cyber attack in the last academic year, 50% of them had to either close or cancel classes or close down completely. With me is Dr. Ryan Ko, a dad, an entrepreneur, and a professor of cybersecurity University of Queensland.
