The population strata of the Indian subcontinent are so diverse that the nation has 22 official languages. This population resides in all sorts of different landscapes and areas, ranging from metropolitan cities to remote villages, but each star faces difficulties and vulnerabilities. One thing is certain: cyberspace has impacted the population at large and has eased a lot in terms of human efforts and time consumption. The use of technology has invaded our lives in such a way that we cannot go back, and we also cannot neglect or ignore the red flags and threats prevailing over cyberspace.Join us for this conversation! _____________________________ResourcesCyber Peace Foundation: https://www.cyberpeace.org/____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we talk about the Data Divide, which, just like the Digital Divide, has become a social phenomenon that puts underserved and marginalized categories in the unfortunate condition of not taking advance of the Digital Age as they should and could.But pay attention as it is different. So often, when we talk about Data, we discuss the fact that organizations, governments, and companies are taking WAY TOO MUCH DATA, and we need to stop them from doing so. But not all Data is the same. There is the one taken to spy, sell, market everything, and somehow control citizens — depending on where you live and who you are — and there is the “good” data, the one that can help you to stay healthy, get a job, get an education, and overall get you in the societal loop that we all need nowadays to thrive.So, divide, in this case, means that if you are on the wrong side of it, things are getting worst at the same rate that technology gets better. Well, you‘ll get what I mean in this episode of Redefining Society, where we talk about these topics and much more.Tune in, and listen up! _____________________________ResourcesClosing the Data Divide for a More Equitable U.S. Digital Economy: https://www2.datainnovation.org/2022-closing-data-divide.pdfCenter for Data Innovationhttps://datainnovation.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/center-for-data-innovation/https://twitter.com/DataInnovation____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What has become of the ideas and the vision of the World Wide Web? Well, many things have changed since "circa 1993", and amongst many good things, a plethora of unexpected consequences came in the same bag.In this episode of redefining society, we talk with our friend Charity Wright about what is the reality of the internet today when it comes to the many ways that social media have been utilized to spread ideologies, misinformation, propaganda, and, more often than not, lately, pure and unaltered lies. From walled internets controlled by authoritarian countries to the subtitle, and not so subtitle, way to change realities even in free democratic nations, we have gone a long way from that original vision of what the WWW could have been.We are still hopeful that the truth in our societies will ultimately prevail, even if we need to adjust the social contract for the digital age that we are already living. And if worst comes to worst, there is still The Mouth of Truth — see you in Rome!Enjoy! _____________________________GuestCharity WrightThreat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future [@recordedfuture]On Twitter | https://twitter.com/CharityW4CTIOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/cwillhoite/_____________________________Resources_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Work is defined as “an activity involving mental or physical effort done to achieve a purpose or result.” Ok, but does it have to suck, being stressful, and burning people out? No! Let’s discuss this.Lately, at least in the cybersecurity and technology industry, talking about burnout has become a common topic. There are talks at conferences, some companies are addressing the issue, and plenty of articles in many newspapers and magazines.It certainly is not a new thing, but why do we talk more about it nowadays, and are we doing enough to address the issue?In this podcast, we welcome back Stacy Thayer and open the conversation to a societal view. It is not just one industry problem but is something that may have deep roots in our society.Join us and let us know your thoughts._____________________________________Here is the link to the first podcast published in the Redefining Cybersecurity Channel:https://redefining-cybersecurity.simplecast.com/episodes/trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-lets-talk-about-burnout-a-conversation-with-stacy-thayer-black-hat-2022-and-def-con-30-las-vegas-event-coverage-redefining-cybersecurity-podcast-with-sean-martin-and-marco-ciappelli About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.____________________________GuestStacy ThayerPh.D, Clinical and Organizational/Business Psychology, Norfolk State University [@Norfolkstate]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacythayer/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/DrStacyThayer____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________ResourcesPrevious Episode: https://itsprad.io/redefining-cybersecurity-74____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do cities need technology in order to be smart? Can “smart technology” alone turn a dumb city into an intelligent one? The human is still the most crucial piece in the machine — in this case, all the city inhabitants: those who run it and those who live it.In this podcast we talk about the Leading Smart Cities with Trust program. A first-of-its-kind professional certificate, to learn from leaders in government, academia and the private sector how to gain a solid foundation of knowledge for all Smart City initiatives while building a professional network.The Leading Smart Cities with Trust program is a selective and rigorous educational initiative offered through a partnership between the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University.This may be the way to prepare the future of those that run our future cities. Join us!_____________________________GuestsLan JensonCEO, Adaptable Security, Board of Directors, ISC2 Silicon Valley Chapter, Co-chair, NIST/DHS Cybersecurity and Privacy Advisory Committee for Smart Secure Cities and CommunitiesOn Twitter | https://twitter.com/LanJensonOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/lan-jenson-cissp-pmp-65611836/Daniel NelsonDirector of Accelerated Learning and Global Engagement for the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs [@MaxwellSU] of Syracuse University [@SyracuseU]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-nelson-7912111/Austin ZwickCore Faculty Member, Autonomous Systems Policy Institute (ASPI) / Assistant Teaching Professor, Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs [@MaxwellSU] at Syracuse University [@SyracuseU]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-zwick-phd-6126964a/_____________________________ResourcesInspiration for this conversation: https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/academics/non-degree-programs-and-short-format-courses/leading-smart-cities-with-trust#smart_rfiRegistration link to certificate course: https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/leading-smart-cities-with-trust/Organizing partner: Cybertrust America: https://cybertrustamerica.org/Organizing partner: Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs: https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When you find a piece of news circulating on social media that looks suspicious, a bit weird, or even too good to be true, it would be good to refrain from sharing it. But, unfortunately, that is how misinformation goes around on the internet and how sometimes the consequences on our societies can be quite relevant and dangerous.  Sharing and amplifying the messages reach is a powerful way to make positive changes happens in our society, but there is always the other side of the coin — misinformation uses the same media, and it may be even more powerful when knowledgeable criminals intentionally manipulate people.Fortunately, some experts are researching and studying this phenomenon, and there are solutions. Still, it requires education, there is not an easy tech button at the moment, and probably there never will be one.Listen to this eye-opening podcast with Dr. Sandra Quincoses and maybe next time, think twice before you share something that may be more than a pretty puppy._____________________________GuestSandra QuincosesSenior Intelligence Analyst - Nisos (@nisos)On Twitter | https://twitter.com/Dr_SandraQOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/sandra-q-284b52191_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcastResources___________________________________Resources:Black Hat USA 2022 Presentationhttps://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/index.html#the-growth-of-global-election-disinformation-the-role-and-methodology-of-government-linked-cyber-actors-27079Colombian Election Disinformation Campaign: The Role of Venezuelan Leftistshttps://nisos.com/blog/colombian-election-disinformation-venezuelan-leftists/____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Have you heard any stories of artists struggling to make a living from their artistic passion and skills lately? Have you heard of NFTs? Well, maybe you should listen to us trying to put the two together and see what we come up with.Welcome to another episode that starts with ONE, TWO, THREE… and while the first one was about Web .3, this time, we deliver a good hour of thinking around NFTs and the many opportunities they can bring. In particular, we focus on the music industry, the artists, the fans, and how this can be extended to other forms of art and small business.Of course, we must agree on what can be done at the present time and what we could ideally achieve with new technology, and maybe we didn't do that. But we all agreed upon one thing: it takes knowledge to get started and thrive with technology.Enjoy this conversation with Connor Borrego — the second one, so be sure to catch the first one too!👉 Can We Really Take Back Our Data With Web 3?

Why should we return to the office instead of being more productive and happier working from home? Maybe someone likes to work there, meet people, and get out of the house? To each its own, then. Why not?During this podcast, we talk about the many good reasons why we should let people work from home, but as we do so, we also realize that many enjoy the office working lifestyle, and each one should be able to choose what fits their personality the most.The truth is often in the middle, and a hybrid solution might be the right one.- No Commute Means Happier Employees?- Remote Work Lets People Connect Anywhere?- Remote Work Gives Us Control Over Our Calendars?- No More Mandatory ‘Fun’?- Remote Work Helps with Social Anxiety- ‘Open Space’ Layouts Are Noisy and Distracting?Thoughts?_____________________________GuestJaclyn GreenbergFreelance Writer, Content Writer, Essayist, Journalist, Memoirist writing about parenting and accessibilityOn Twitter | https://twitter.com/jl_greenbergOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaclyn-greenberg-6176164/Website | https://jaclyngreenbergwriter.com_____________________________ResourcesThe Case for Letting People Work From Home Forever: https://www.wired.com/story/the-case-for-letting-people-work-from-home-forever/_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

1, 2, 3 … NFT… and WEB .3 For those of you that are still figuring out WEB .2, it may be time to skip ahead and envision an internet where users can regain the ownership of their data — and identity too?

Influencers help brands to sell products by creating content on social media — the concept is certainly not new. How about virtual ones? It depends on what we assume "virtual" means because, in the advertising field, it is not new either. The technology makes this different, but humans are still in the machine. The point is that testimonials have been around since the beginning of advertising, as such virtual ones. You can think of celebrities, authorities in the field, fictional characters, and cartoon characters. As technology has evolved, so have the techniques to create and make them more believable, likable, engaging, relatable, and even more real.Nowadays, there is a tendency in our society — well, marketing is responsible for a lot of that hype —  to use the words Artificial Intelligence, Augmented, and Virtual Reality, even when it is not precisely that. Nevertheless, our society is moving faster on the technology highway, and some blurriness is justified. Sometimes.So these virtual influencers, also called virtual humans — what are they, and, most of all, what are not? What do they do, and what they could do?Maybe they are not exactly sentient, but there are human that makes them seems so.Confused? We were too. So we invited on the show Astrid Hiort, a digital creative and journalist, specializing in content for virtual influencers and digital fashion.Join us, or maybe our digital twins?____________________________GuestAstrid HiortContributing Writer at VirtualHumans.org [@virtual_humans] https://www.virtualhumans.org/writer/astrid-hiortOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/astrid-hiort/On Medium | https://medium.com/@astrid.hiort____________________________Resources ____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-societyAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
