Summary
In a world where we're told to carry our entire lives in our pockets, we've reached a strange tipping point where the very devices meant to connect us have become windows into our private lives for those who wish us harm.

Joining the conversation today is Jared Shepard, an innovative industry leader and the CEO of Hypori.

He is also the founder of Intelligent Waves and the chair of the nonprofit Warriors Ethos, bringing a perspective shaped by years of advising technologists in active war zones. We're going to dive deep into why Jared believes everything you own should be considered already compromised and why that realization is the first step toward true security.
