This episode of the SDM show features a conversation between host Rob Cairns and guest Tim Nash regarding digital security, with a particular focus on the idea that the human element is often the most vulnerable point. They discuss how even seemingly secure communication apps like Signal can be compromised due to user error, such as accidentally adding unauthorized individuals to private chats, as seen in recent instances involving US politicians. The discussion broadens to encompass other human-related security issues, including falling for scams by clicking malicious links or not thinking critically, and the widespread use of weak or easily compromised passwords, even within professional settings. Finally, Tim Nash announces the upcoming launch of his WordPress security fundamentals course, aimed at helping system administrators and developers improve their knowledge and implementation of web security practices.
