The CyBUr Guy Podcast returns with a new focus or rather 2!
1) I will be using this platform to record and release the audio version of my book, Get Cyber Smart: A user friendly guide to protecting your family, your business, and yourself online. But this "audiobook" will incude audio extras not in the hard copy. I plan to start that with the next episode.
2) This episode discusses, and introduces, the pilot episode of the "Secret to Cybersecurity Podcast" with Scott Augenbaum. Two FBI guys talking cyber stuff and focused on the concepts found in Scott's book, "The Secret to Cybersecurity". It will ultimately be available throught its own feed.
Give a listen, tell a friend, please subscribe to both.
