Although this question sounds almost like a rhetorical one, it’s worth asking. After all, as we talked about in a previous episode, encryption can only help you that much. If the password behind the key(s) is weak, the whole encryption code is vulnerable. But what makes a password strong? Do we need to include a special character, a number, a capital letter, and a haiku in it? Or are there other ways to ensure the password won’t be easily guessed? This episode attempts to address these and other related questions to this important topic. Even if you use passwords sparingly, it’s worth listening to this episode and taking notes!

A few things about my latest book and the topics it covers. This is a recording of the official book launch event from 9/9/22.

In this video course, you will learn: • What Personally Identifiable Information is and why it is important • What anonymization and pseudonymization are, as well as how we can use them to protect the identity of the people behind the data • The subtle trade-off between privacy and signal strength • How you can protect the privacy of your organization’s clients, without compromising too much on the performance of your models • How GDPR and organizational policies factor in the whole privacy matter • How you can apply anonymization and pseudonymization in a dataset using Julia • How all this fits relates to the Cybersecurity field and why the latter is important in data-related work Supplementary material: https://app.box.com/s/6bvbf8kecc0f3cy3st0ibknfdbr833wm

This is a course I put together a couple of years back. The concepts behind it are still as relevant as ever and the information is very applicable. No prior knowledge of Privacy or Cybersecurity is required to follow this course. Supplementary material: https://app.box.com/s/awmidtpfj1upslhlt9hqcdx5h6alw83t
