Without a skilled professional in the loop, the latest tech and AI systems won't be enough to protect you. Companies need to invest in upskilling their people and securing the best and brightest cyber minds in the business. đź’ˇ . @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith

Most of us panic when our Wi-Fi dips out for a few minutes. So, what would happen if a nation's energy grid was hacked into? . Hint: It wouldn't be good. I explore the implications of that possibility here. 👇. @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp

CEOs: Your customers won’t stick around if you don’t protect them. Keep biometric data in the hands of the people it belongs to. It’s as simple as that! . @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp

I discussed the serious risk biometric data hacks pose to banks on the @IBSIntelligence podcast. Thanks for having me @RobinAmlot!. Storing customer biometrics on centralized systems is a dangerous gamble. The legal and reputational fallout could be catastrophic – enough to bring.

You wouldn’t leave all your passwords written on one piece of paper. So why are companies keeping sensitive data all in one place? . Here’s why decentralization is the way forward. 👇

Mid-sized and smaller banks need to watch their backs. Holding millions of customer digital identities in one place is leaving them wide open to a biometric data hack. Thanks for sharing my thoughts on this @MESComputing!.

The biggest cybersecurity risk isn't fraud. It's your face. đź§‘ . Companies are pouring millions into fraud prevention. But they're overlooking a growing threat that's far more dangerous: biometric breaches. @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp

EU border forces should be protecting civilians, not leaving their biometric data vulnerable to hackers. ⚠️. Admin access to biometric data should be kept to an absolute minimum and, wherever possible, its storage should be decentralized.

When was the last time you actually read the Terms of Use on your iPhone before hitting “update”? . I’m guessing… never. But buried in that text are decisions being made about our data, on our behalf. @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp

This major ransomware attack is prime example of why cybersecurity needs to get back to basics. AI is key to cyber defense. But if people aren't sufficiently skilled, vulnerabilities will continue to occur. @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp

The most important weapon in the cybersecurity fight is humans – not AI. Companies must prioritize finding and keeping top talent. @kimbal .@NATLCyberCenter .@elonmusk .@mer__edith .@signalapp
