Unspoken Security Ep 5: How the Hell Are Small Businesses Supposed to Be Cyber-Compliant?

In this episode of Unspoken Security AJ Nash is joined by Tarah Wheeler, who is not only the CEO at Red Queen Dynamics, but also a Senior Fellow for Global Cyber Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and Advisory Board Member for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Tarah and AJ discuss some of the ongoing challenges facing small businesses as they attempt to defend themselves and their customers against cyber threats. Of particular interest in this conversation, Tarah has some passionate thoughts about a new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulation regarding breach reporting that is set to go into effect in May 2024. You're definitely going to want to hear what she has to say on this!
(Spoiler Alert: Things are about to get a lot harder for small businesses!)
Lastly, as with all episodes of Unspoken Security, AJ asks his guests to reveal something they had never talked about before (something "unspoken"). Tarah struggled with this one a bit (partially because she already shared a great secret earlier in the show) before giving a very cool answer that led to AJ and Tarah planning a road trip together.
What a way to finish the show!
