This week's OP-ED refers to this post I made on Linkedin ( https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7267172616346505217/ ). This had to do with a research study that showed the current methods associated with awareness training just aren't working, so I am trying to develop a new way. Give a listen and tell me what you think. darren@thecyburguy.com

Apologies on the audio quality on this episode as I did this one remotely.  Back to normal on Monday. This Op-Ed is a look at Cybersecurity Awareness Month, its conclusion, and the future. Give a listen, tell a friend. Feel free to email thoughts, comments, or questions to darren@thecyburguy.com

As mentioned in the previous episode, I took several trips to Russia as an FBI Agent. With the news a little slow today, I give a glimpse into that experience. It's hard to pack it all in in less than 15 minutes, but I do hit some of the highlights and sadly leave out some. Maybe I can revisit it in the future. Give a listen, tell a friend. #cybercrime #FBI #russia
