Yes.

But there's no real one golden... security solution.

So I'm just going to run through layers.
3:04
And this, this is really for businesses, but there are things individuals could pull out of this.
3:09
So, you know, the first layer is going to be firewall and then like your security, but we want to call it EDR.
3:15
So it has to be EDR.
3:17
Most cybersecurity insurance won't even like your claim won't be able to be processed if you can't prove that you had EDR, which is State-of-the-art security, so think anything but all the things you're familiar with.

Okay.

Where are we at?
3:31
Today, I mean, this month is October, which is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, in case you weren't aware of that.
3:39
But yeah, so the title of this blog post is Why One Lock Isn't Enough.
3:46
And so I always talk about and think about security as in layers.
3:51
But I found out recently that most other people don't.
3:55
So like often people ask me, hey, is my computer secure? And boy, that's a loaded question.
4:01
The question shouldn't be, is my computer secure? The question should be, if somebody breaches my password or login, will my whole system be compromised still or whatever? I like to think about it like it's a house.
6:50
Do you sometimes even want to get like a one time passcode where it shoots an email or text your phone to do that? Exactly.
