how to: not get hacked

About this episode

<p>If you&rsquo;ve been resistant to using a password manager, or if you want to step up your overall digital security, this episode is for you. Dexter talks to Josh Blackwelder, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer of SentinelOne, about the dangers of having weak passwords (even for accounts you don&rsquo;t care about), why you definitely should use a password manager, and why you should switch your email account to login by something better than a password: the passkey. We&rsquo;re here to evangelize the importance of digital security &ndash; and keep you from getting hacked.
