Security Noise

Who is actually watching, and why should anyone care? On this episode of Security Noise, we're talking about privacy on the modern web, moving past the basics like VPN and digging deeper into how to protect your data. We discuss different aspects of privacy like your ISP, the phone in your pocket, and the three or four companies that have a tracker on most of the pages you load. And what about the smart TV, the doorbell, and the thermostat in your home? Senior Security Consultants Kelsey Segrue and Joe Sullivan sit down with Geoff and Skyler to cover who is actually in a position to watch you, what data they can gather, why you should care, and what you can realistically do about it.

Let's talk home automations, where the lights, the locks, the thermostat, and the doorbell all have opinions (and an internet connection). On this episode, Geoff and Skyler sit down to chat with TrustedSec's Adam Compton, a Principal Security Consultant and resident "Automator." Even though Adam resides in a farmhouse built in the 1800s, his home is anything but outdated. From automatic window blinds to driveway gates, Adam has automated just about everything he can. Listen as we discuss favorite websites, resources, and hardware hacks for all your home automation needs. Skyler and Adam go on a verbal side-quest to discuss going fully local when it comes to smart home assistants. Join us for another fun episode that just might have you saying, "Alexa, you're fired!"
