I had a wonderful discussion on AI and Cyber Resilience with two powerhouse women, Jill - CCO at and Min - Chief Security Advisor at last week at Commvault’s conference in Melbourne, Australia.

We discussed themes of corporate culture, governance, logging and monitoring, and resilience and how the age of AI has accelerated maturity in all of these domains.

Thank you for having me, !

It was a quick trip, but Australia has won me over 🇦🇺✌️

Your email inbox is a treasure trove of data. In fact, many popular email clients use anonymized data from your inbox to target ads to you.

Consider switching to a private email provider, which prioritizes your privacy and security. These email clients offer strong protection compared to mainstream email platforms.

A quality privacy email uses end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the sender and recipient can read the contents of emails, even if intercepted. They also avoid scanning emails for advertising purposes and limit data collection.

Additional features might include allowing to sign up for newsletters anonymously, encrypted storage, and data minimization practices. Opt for a private email provider to safeguard sensitive communication, maintain privacy, and take greater control over your personal information.

Some popular privacy email clients include:
• ProtonMail
• StartMail
• Mailbox.org

Data brokers are companies that have a business model based around collecting, storing, and selling your data. Data removal services are a way to take on data brokers.

These services search for data collected by data brokers, public databases, and other third-party entities, then request or facilitate its removal. They can also automate the opt-out process for data collection, making it easier for you to maintain control over your digital footprint.

People use data removal services to minimize risks like identity theft, targeted advertising, and online tracking, ensuring that their personal information remains private and secure.

Some popular data removal services include:
• Permission Slip
• Optery
• DeleteMe
