Cybersecurity for web3 is going to be massive. Security is already a $132 Billion industry–we have to talk about it…

Do you lock your car doors? Of course you do. If your car and the items in it are important enough to protect, shouldn’t these bits of digital information be worthy of protecting: bank account passwords, private information, and other assets? Sounds reasonable. So then why do people not take cybersecurity seriously? And I mean very seriously. A password of kitty123 does not qualify as “very seriously”.

If theft happens online and someone loses access to say their Crypto wallet, why are we surprised? Theft is nothing new. Go read crime logs and see how many thefts happened just yesterday. Now I get it, cybersecurity “seems” like a lot of effort and very boring. What if it didn’t have to be? And more, what if was as essential as closing and locking the door behind you? As our work and lives become more digital which includes an aim to web3, it’s more essential than ever to up our “security hygiene” when it comes to cybersecurity for web3.

Featured Guest: Taylor Hersom | founder and CEO of Eden Data | Eden Data is a cybersecurity company offering scalable security teams and CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) to address security, compliance, and data privacy for startups, especially in the Web3 space.

Web3 | So Many Questions! | A Podcast Series

Web3 is happening so fast—or at least that’s what it seems like. In actuality, there is time—a lot of time. It’s very early in the Web3 world. It’s also very confusing (maybe because there are so many buzzwords or maybe it’s because there are a lot of people promising a bright future). I’d say it’s best to talk to those in the space. And that’s where this Web3 dialogue (podcast series) is coming from. It’s an opportunity to share space with those that have experience, stories, and proof of concept related to all things Web3. This episode just so happens to hone in on all things cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity for Web3

So let’s learn about Web3 and the entire infrastructure including cybersecurity, energy consumption, and crypto. Let’s be open to it. I’m not one to suggest running out and buying a bunch of land in the Metaverse, but I would suggest paying attention to it, asking questions, and then seeing what interests you. The creativity and the opportunity got me. I hope this episode helps you understand it a bit more—or if you are already in the Web3 world, I hope this episode opens you into a new part of the community.
