Order of Operations: Recent Episodes
Travis Theune
Order of Operations is a chance to take the mystery and fear out of one of the most important topics that affect us today: digital security. What is usually limited to geeky nerds throwing jargon around is actually easier to understand than you might think. Through conversations with regular people from all walks of life — and the occasional industry expert - this podcast will address some of the more complex topics of digital life.
In this week's episode, Travis interviews Foxpass’ CEO Aren Sandersen and discusses another perspective on one of our favorite topics: Password Hygiene.
Can you trust everything you read in the news? As tech and security breaches are a common topic in media, we thought it’d be a good opportunity to sit down and get Travis’ professional opinion about how much attention you should pay to scary headlines and how to sniff out the good info from the bad.
This week is all about something we ended up calling “traffic protection,” which is really a blanket term for way anonymize, alter, or encrypt your internet traffic. Most people are familiar with these topics as VPNs and those “things hackers use on TV crime dramas.” We also talk about backing up your data and what to do when you lose a mobile device (laptop/phone). Plus, we discuss secure backups and being able to remotely wipe the devices.
Discussions on data privacy and open source software, and the implications of those topics on security.
In our pilot episode, Travis joked about National Password Hygiene Day, but this was really a hint that I should get into 1Password and acknowledge the mess. Here’s what I did and how it’s going.
We dig into more detail about password strength and touch on the topics of public WiFi and MFA. Finally, Travis predicts the next trend in facial tattoos.
Our first episode, we talk about the project and then demystify good passwords and password management. Are you ready for International Password Audit Day?
After months of late-night conversations and countless party discussions, Travis put his voice on record and we’re getting this podcast together.
