Based on news reports, you might think there's a major cybersecurity threat every four to five months. In reality, there's a cybersecurity attack happening every minute of every day. Today, we live our lives—and conduct our business—online. Our data is in the cloud and in our pockets on our smartphones, shuttled over public Wi-Fi and company networks. To keep it safe, we rely on passwords and encryption and private servers, IT departments and best practices. But as you read this, there is a 70 percent chance that your data is compromised . . . you just don't know it yet. Cybersecurity attacks have increased exponentially, but because they're stealthy and often invisible, many underplay, ignore, or simply don't realize the danger. By the time they discover a breach, most individuals and businesses have been compromised for over three years. Instead of waiting until a problem surfaces, avoiding a data disaster means acting now to prevent one. In Cyber Crisis, Eric Cole gives readers a clear-eyed picture of the information war raging in cyberspace. Drawing on 30 years of experience—as a professional hacker for the CIA, as the Obama administration's cybersecurity commissioner, and as a consultant to clients around the globe from Bill Gates to Lockheed Martin and McAfee—Cole offers practical, actionable advice that even those with little technical background can implement, including steps to take on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to protect their businesses and themselves. No matter who you are or where you work, cybersecurity should be a top priority. The information infrastructure we rely on in every sector of our lives—in healthcare and finance, for governments and private citizens—is both critical and vulnerable, and sooner or later, you or your company will be a target. This book is your guide to understanding the threat and putting together a proactive plan to minimize exposure and damage, and ensure the security of your business, your family, and your future

Untethered Aging shines a bright light on three important issues for older adults: >>>>> Shifting your worldview to cope with the blur of technological, environmental, and other external changes we face; >>>>> Living within your means for the rest of your life (a practical guidebook for dealing with income challenges and affordability); and >>>>> Seizing life while you can (maintaining autonomy, physical and psychological well-being in a post-Covid-19 world; the practical pursuit of meaning, purpose and contributing to the Greater Good; consideration of existential questions ("Why do I exist?") end-of-life readiness; and the creation of a simple personal legacy). Untethered Aging is for seniors living into the unprecedented new normal of a post-Covid-19 world. Boomers face greater income, wellness, and affordability challenges in retirement, and due to longer lifespans, for more years than planned. Aging successfully requires a commitment to creating your life rather than waiting for it to happen to you. Our world is spinning faster than at any point in history. Successful aging and living in late adulthood require being self-reliant, mindful, adaptive, and perpetually curious. Untethered Aging offers well-researched facts and pragmatic approaches foraging seniors (and those who care about them) to understand and take action. Untethered Aging is the truth-telling field manual for successful aging, from an author who is living it.
