b'In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Chief Information Security Officer Co-Founder of SIE Monster, Chris Rock.\\n\\n\\n\\nChris Rock is not your typical CSO.

His clients range from governments to private organizations, each with unique objectives and security needs.\\n\\nChris shared some intriguing stories from his work. He\'s uncovered employees setting up illegal activities within companies, helped track people escaping authorities in the Middle East, and dealt with a myriad of other complex situations. These stories, while fascinating, also highlight the darker side of our increasingly digital world.\\n\\nWhen asked Chris if there was any hope for a safer digital world, his response was sobering. The flaws he identified years ago still exist today, and the transition from paper-based systems to electronic systems has only increased the potential for security breaches.\\n\\nHe also recommended using account IDs and virtual credit cards instead of traditional credit card numbers to further enhance security.\\n
