Dr. John Johnson describes why he created the wildly popular cybersecurity conference, CornCon! It was first held in 2015, in Davenport, Iowa on the banks of the Mississippi River. He also describes the goals for the conference, how it is unique from others in offering a children’s hacking bootcamp, and a hacking contest for teens, along with two days of sessions and activities for professionals. Rebecca is also excited to be a speaker with her talk, “It’s Not Always a Rattlesnake Just Because It Rattles: Everything I Learned About Risk Management I Learned on the Farm,” and picks John’s brain to get some tips. Plus, a Bill Murray after-party…oh, yeah, we’re there!

Individuals & Businesses: Mitigate! Those! Risks!
Everyone is at risk of cybercrime, privacy breaches, and associated physical risks. Individuals in their personal lives, as well as businesses and their employees within work areas…which are often in homes, and other locations outside of physical business facilities…are at risk. Each and every one of them needs to understand how to recognize information security and privacy risks, and basic ways to mitigate those identified risks. But most folks don’t know how to do this.
More needs to be done to raise awareness of these important life-encompassing risks if we have any chance at all of slowing down and preventing security incidents and privacy breaches. We dedicate this episode to supporting that goal!
In this episode Rebecca has a highly informative discussion with Ron Woerner, a noted international consultant, keynote speaker, teacher, blogger, and writer in the Privacy and Cybersecurity industry. The show starts with the inaugural episode of the new game show, “Mitigate! That! Risk!” Discussion then covers the following:

• What is risk management?
• What has been the most significant change in risk management since Ron started his security and privacy career?
• What has stayed the same for risk management since the beginning of Ron’s career?
• What is zero trust, as it relates to risk management?
• What is data centric security, as it relates to risk management?
• And more…

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.
