CDT’s Tech Talk is a podcast where we dish on tech and Internet policy, while also explaining what these policies mean to our daily lives. You can find Tech Talk on SoundCloud, iTunes, and Google Play.
When Susan Landau talks about cybersecurity, everyone should listen. In this episode of Tech Talk we hear from the esteemed cybersecurity expert about issues she addresses in her latest book, Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age.
Landau, a National Cybersecurity Hall of Fame member, talks about how the ultimate goal should be for everyone to have access to easy-to-use encryption to make society as a whole more secure. She pushes back against the notion that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are “going dark” because of technology and advocates for new approaches to policing. Landau also shares some incredibly useful tips for organizations and individuals to navigate the insecure digital world.
