Security and Digital Privacy Concerns for Small Businesses with Jessica Robinson

This month on the podcast, I'm talking about privacy and security. Those are actually two different aspects of overall cybersecurity.

I really love the definition of these two from the Fathom analytics blog about the difference between digital privacy and online security (I'll link to it in the show notes).

It says:

Digital privacy protects our personal information and data so that it's not unnecessarily exposed. This means that your information is protected before it’s known.

Online security protects and secures our personal information and data when it needs to be exposed. If our personal information needs to be known, it's done as safely as possible.

Last week, I talked to Paul Jarvis, the author of that blog post and co-founder of Fathom, a privacy-focused analytics company. We talked a LOT about digital privacy and how to ONLY collect information that does really needs to be known.

This week, I want to talk about the other side of the coin: security. Jessica Robinson is an outsourced Chief Information Security Officer, founder, and CEO of PurePoint International and an expert in data security, cyber risk, and privacy.
