Starting a CIO role at an org with clear security deficiencies - what is the scale of options for baseline invasion test / security audits?
Moving into an org as CIO that clearly has neglected security processes and best practices.Elements include restaurant footprints, cross office network, digital properties, HR systems etcIs there a scale of initial audit/baseline/self-driven security tests I have at my leisure?Coming in with asking for budget for a heavy security budget may not be feasible but building up to it may be the way to go.Any input welcome.

Mic blocker app on phone turned off by AI?
So I use an app called Microphone Block Pro on my Android phone, and happily assumed I was now safe from audio snooping. It always seemed to work, because when I'd answer the phone but forget to turn it off, the person on the other end couldn't hear me. Then one day recently I called a place that had a standard AI voice navigation system you had to go through to get to a human customer service rep, and I gave verbal answers when prompted until it connected me to the rep. After I hung up, I realized I hadn't turned off the mic blocker app until I was about to talk to the human, and yet the voice navigation system had somehow heard me. Has anyone else experienced this and does it mean an AI navigation system on the other hand can turn off your mic blocker, and if so, how?

How to make an online vault at my web host or cloud storage?
How can I make my sensitive files unreadable on a web host or service similar to Dropbox (if account being compromised).I’m think something like an encryption and decryption program that store files though SFTP to my web host or save to Dropbox or maybe mega, and support both macOS and iOS.Did anyone know a working secure solution?

Split single file to multiple unreadable files for security
Is there a iOS/macOS app that can split a single (maybe encrypted file like .dmg, .zip, or just plain unencrypted .txt) file into multiple files (and perhaps encrypt each files on the end)?Maybe even can automatically store those files to different cloud/physical storages. And when I need my original file, the app can automatically retrieve all those files from multiple location.

Looking for a secure way to store all my important files online for ease access.
Is there an iOS/macOS app that can separate a file to multiple incomplete encrypted files and store them to multiple cloud (Dropbox like or remote server via SFTP/WebDAV)/physical storage for safe keeping.Like Cryptomator but with more security measures.Of course, any other crazy pretty much uncrackable way to store sensitive information online are welcome too.Thanks everyone!Oh, put in a physical drive is not a good option for me, even if both file and disk are encrypted.

I'm really glad GDPR is here, yet, this is only another step forward to really grasping what companies are doing with your private life
I'm really tired of EULA's, of the "disclosing information", of the "sharing information", of the "collecting information"... Really, fucking, tired. Now, with this regulation we are even more conscious about the crap of it all.Companies simply collect information because they WANT, not because is needed. They have been doing this for more than a decade now with the boom of social networks. Why? Why the fuck have we allowed these people to get into our lifes like this? More like "why", "how"?It's actually really simple. Back then, nobody actually informed people about what they did with all the data. And now, as I said, we are just grasping what they actually do with all of it.What do people need REALLY think is this. For example: Netflix>collects data about the programmes you watch. Why? Why the hell do they need to do that? Why? They actually don't "need" it, they do it because we allow it. Becuase it's "how it works" https://help.netflix.com/legal/privacy But this happens with any other stream service, like Amazon Prime, and so on and forth. EVERYONE does it.Again, do they need to do it? No, they simply do it because it's "their agreement with you".Goverments need to start (and fucking soon) to enforce companies to NOT collect personal data, to NOT store usage data. It's not about "telling" us what they collect, is about STOPPING them from collecting that data. The law is the only way to stop companies from doing whatever the fuck they want. And it's not about "don't like it, don't use it". This is getting to all areas of entertainment, businesses, social networks, shopping, job hunting, and so on. Are you going to unplug yourself from everything just so they don't collect information from you? Are you going to go living in the wilderness now? Is not about "I don't have secrets", (ff you think like that still, you really need to get educated elsewhere...), is about your private life and your family's.When you used to watch the analog TV, nobody would know what you were watching, what music you were listening on the radio or what cassette tape you would be playing. Now Spotify knows it, shares it with Facebook, hell, it will even tell all your friends that you love Madonna automatically. Now everything can be monitored, stored and kept under crontrol. Information control, people control... Certain videogame designer was very right about all this crap 15 years ago.Companies 20-15 years ago would ASK you to perform a survey to get to know what you like. It was VOLUNTARY. Now, everything they collect is forced to you via an EULA, a Privacy Policy, an User Agreement.This has to stop and will stop, because people is getting educated about this and people will get tired of all this BS.
