In a world of digital technology, it’s easy to forget one sobering fact: Our identity can be stolen from under our noses, with one click of the mouse, propelling us into nightmares in a matter of minutes, anytime, anywhere, and on any one of our darling gadgets.

Cybercrimes, malware, botnets, and all forms of digital threats are ever more sophisticated, waiting in the shadows for that one opportunity to steal your sensitive information. Terry Cutler, a certified ethical hacker, reminds us of how vulnerable our data is, through chilling real-life stories, such as that of a simple USB key left purposefully behind, in a targeted enterprise’s lavatory, where an unsuspecting (albeit good-willed) employee can just pick it up, plug it in, and thus lead the criminals right into the company’s core data or to your home computer.

Terry Cutler is an international award-winning information security strategist for 20 years, and has advised Canada’s largest companies on how to prevent and remedy internal and external security penetration. For the public, he developed an effective online learning program, arranged in modules and updated regularly to keep up with the rapidly changing digital landscape in which “Wild West” internet bandits seek new ways to break into our lives are stopped. Terry Cutler has coined the term Cyologist™ to describe what he does. His mission is to help individuals and corporations protect themselves from data breaches and other online cyber threats through his videos, media appearances, coaching products, and consulting services.
