(Part 2)Protecting Our Data Blind Spots: Senrio Brings Needed Visibility to IoT Vulnerabilities
For this edition of the Making Oregon podcast we bring you one interview divided into two parts. We chat with Portland startup founder Stephen Ridley, the founder of Senrio. Senrio is an entirely new approach to data security, a Software as a Service product that unveils solutions and tools to provide unprecedented visibility and intelligence into the IoT devices all around us, a long-considered "blindspot" in cybersecurity. In this Part 2, we back track to Part 1 for a couple minutes and talk once again about how Senrio works. Then we dive into a discussion about best practices for protecting data, especially if you are a small business. Stephen will also talk about the vulnerabilities he and his developers find in consumer electronics and how Senrio can play a role in providing solutions. Plus, we’ll get his take on data privacy, metadata and what social media giants like Facebook are doing with the information users supply, whether they know it or not. Finally, we’ll ask whether data privacy really exists in today’s world, and how Stephen balances his awareness of security issues with his own personal practices in daily life.
