Provide advice for the new Cybersecurity Certificate Program developed under the strong workforce curriculum development program for Los Angeles, which will funnel students from local high schools who want to earn college credit or work toward Career Technical Education (CTE) certificates/certifications instead of earning a college degree.

As more technologies emerge, more big data analytics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands.
In this radio program Rebecca offers intriguing and informative discussions with fascinating and compelling guests about existing and emerging security and privacy risks, and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice, news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
