We work with financial planners and it’s a topic many of their clients are deeply concerned about. Once the Target breach hit late that year, we began to realize a few things: everyone’s personal identifiable information is at risk. The companies and institutions we’ve shared that information with have done a terrible job of protecting it. The online security advice being offered to the general public seemed fragmented, overwhelming, wrong, or incomprehensible. Yet, we could see that there were clear, sensible steps anyone could take to easily improve their security. Even today, you’ll read an article in a major national newspaper or website about a new threat—say, for instance, the growing threat of ransomware against people or their employers. The article will be intriguing, well-written, and researched, yet it will often offer no discussion about the steps anyone can take to inoculate themselves or their company against falling victim to the blackmail threats of ransomware. The public gets all the scare and not a single solution. In our book, we certainly take the time to tell our readers stories about the new threats and types of victims who’ve succumbed. But then we give them do-able solutions. We tell you exactly what you need to do to ensure that you don’t suffer the same way. We didn’t see anyone really offering a personal system of consolidated and do-able actions that measure and boost your cybersecurity.(less)

Sean’s Quotes

“And as Lindbergh's election couldn't have made clearer to me, the unfolding of the unforeseen was everything. Turned wrong way round, the relentless unforeseen was what we schoolchildren studied as "History," harmless history, where everything unexpected in its own time is chronicled on the page as inevitable. The terror of the unforeseen is what the science of history hides, turning a disaster into an epic.”
― Philip Roth, The Plot Against America
