Our show today brought to you by Cohesity. This is really important stuff. If you listen to this show, you know how sadly prevalent cyber attacks and breaches are. Uh, but there's some advice here from a company that helps you with resilience. This is Cohesity and it's I think uh, boy, if nothing else from the show, this might be the most important piece of advice. After a major cyber attack, recovering everything all at once, which is your natural impulse, isn't always the fastest path back to business. It's not always the right thing to do. Let me let me explain. Once you've been breached, once you've had a cyber attack, once you're down from ransomware, the immediate priority shouldn't be let's get back up and running. It should be restoring a trusted operating core. All right. Just the minimum systems, data and processes that you need to keep critical operations running. Cohesity has a name for it. They call it the MVC, the minimum viable company. And they will help you determine that to prepare a framework for this. They will help you define it, protect it, and recover the things that matter the most first. This is really valuable advice.
MVC, it helps organizations identify those are the essential applications, the essential data, the people, the processes required so that you can serve customers, you can maintain communications, protect revenue, meet those critical obligations. And we've seen in the real world examples where companies, you know, struggle to get it all up and running again and they fail. The MVC from Cohesity provides a clear recovery target so that your team can focus resources where they're going to have the greatest business impact. Do you know what that would be today? You might have some idea, but this makes it very explicit. And and when you restore this trusted operating core first, you don't have to, you know, be in a situation where you're just completely out of touch with customers. You can reduce your downtime. You can accelerate the recovery. Everything will happen faster after that. Most importantly, you can maintain continuity while your broader restoration efforts continue because cyber resilience isn't just about getting the systems back online. It's about keeping the business operating when disruption strikes. Learn

EasyOptOutsSpeaking of tools, I wanted to mention the sponsor of this podcast, EasyOptOuts. Now, this isn't just your regular sponsor who just pays good money and ends up, um, on a podcast. Like, we have had EasyOptOuts on here for many years. They're just run by a couple guys. They've been shown by Consumer Reports to be one of the most effective, tied with Optery. But unlike Optery, their plans are $20 a year. There's no, like, tiered subscription model. It's meant to be extremely accessible to people, which is how I think it should be. It's already asking a lot for someone to have to pay to be removed from these sites that they never opted into using in the first place. But EasyOptOuts will opt you out of all of these random people-searching websites on your behalf. You can upload as much or as little information as you want to make it easier for them to find your information, and they work all around the US. They have business plans, so you can also get some discounts at scale. Go visit EasyOptOuts and get started for $20 a year down in the description. Again, I don't think they can make this a better value. They are one of the most effective services out there. Thank you, EasyOptOuts, as always, for sponsoring us, and now back to OpenAI's rogue agents. |  Surveillance Report | |

addy.ioQuick one, go into your email inbox right now and type in unsubscribe. However, many hundreds of results you just got, that's how many companies have your real email address. So the moment any of them gets breached or quietly sells you out, it's your real inbox eating the spam, the trackers, and the hackers forever. addy.io is designed to fix this entire problem. The whole idea is you stop giving out your real email address and instead hand every single site its own alias that just forwards to the inbox you already have. Think like Apple Hide My Email, except it's open source and you can bring it to any email inbox. And my favorite part is that once you get all your accounts using an email alias, you can always swap the email provider behind the scenes, like moving from Gmail to a private email provider without needing to update every single account's email. And it's possible because you're really just putting Addy in front of your email. It's like your email bodyguard. This also offers a lot of protection. If a site starts to spam you, or you show up in a data breach, or you realize they sold your data because that one specific alias suddenly started getting junk, you just deactivate the alias. It's fully open source, so you're not trusting a black box. And you can even self-host the entire thing if you're that kind of person, which I know many of you are. It's on F-Droid, there are browser extensions and mobile apps so you can spin up a fresh alias right as you're signing up for something. And if you want to go all in, you can even use it with your own custom alias. It's free to start and they have a crazy generous free plan to get started. Visit addy.io or just check them out down in the description. And thank you guys for sponsoring us. Now back to the video. | Surveillance Report |
