You grant camera access to apps so that you can use them, duh.

Well, our guest today, a cybersecurity expert, told me that all these little things that I'm doing, and I know you do them too,

They are making you and me an easy target for scammers.

In fact, I bet you lock your door at night.

But here you and I are leaving the door wide open for hackers to just walk right into our accounts.

Now, before I even get into this, I need to tell you something.

I didn't think I needed to care about cybersecurity.

I thought cybersecurity was something for like tech people or banks or corporations or governments.

I didn't think it had anything to do with me and you.

Then I met Caitlin Sarian, also known as Cybersecurity Girl to the millions of people that follow her online.

And she told me that all these little things that you and I do, you know what we're doing?

We are giving the keys to our accounts to hackers.

They can get in in less than 30 seconds.

And I thought, oh my gosh, this isn't just a tech person's problem.

This is everyone's problem.

Caitlin has worked in cybersecurity consulting for over a decade.

She's an award-winning cybersecurity expert.

At EY, for example, she performed global cybersecurity awareness assessments across 20 key cyber sectors.
