Greetings,
Most of the time, when I talk about security and privacy, I aim my views at the businesses that hold and collect massive amounts of data -- the big tech companies, the SaaS companies, and so forth. Coincidentally, that's who we sell our software to, as well.
But as someone who is very tuned in to security and privacy issues, I do a lot to protect myself, and I often get asked by friends, family, and acquaintances what they should be doing.
At one time, the answers were highly dependent on the individual asking, but I've noticed lately that my answers have grown consistent between technical and non-technical folks. So, I embarked on capturing my updated recommendations into a new blog series this holiday season.
We currently envision seven parts, and the first three are already written:
Part 1: Identity Theft Protection Checklist
Part 2: Private Communications for Email and Text Messages
Part 3: Privacy Guide to Apple Intelligence with ChatGPT
I hope the series is helpful to you and is something you may want to share with friends and family. Now's the time of year to make these changes.
And on that note, best wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful 2025.
