Your Human Firewall - The Answer to the Cyber Security Problem | Rob May | TEDxWoking

Personal data is a precious commodity but sometimes we can share too much? Rob thinks we need to develop our human firewall in an age where some much of our lives is online. Rob May is chairman of IoD Surrey, an award-winning entrepreneur and Managing Director of ramsac limited.
Rob makes complex subjects straightforward by using real life examples, humour and pragmatism. He is passionate about his work, positive about life and committed to helping people understand and grow.
He lives with his wife and children in Horsell and is very much a part of the local community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I think it was well done and gets to the point on a topic that should be taken more seriously and that is our part to protect our cyber privacy.

[@muhammadyasin4687]

[@mariandekretser4379]

Watching this should be a mandatory part of every organisations Cyber training programme

[@bluckq]

I am actually forced to watch this as part of my Computer Science classes for Computers and Society. Only reason I am here lol

[@Amrith143]

Thank you for your kind words Patrick - much appreciated.

[@patblackman4895]

I absolutely love this video. Mr. May is my favorite speaker. He is so down to earth and speaks to the people with common sense information. Thank you so much Rob Patricia

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thank you!! That's lovely feedback.

[@Ollierastall]

Nice talk, Rob. Great delivery as always and very interesting content that is relevant to all.

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thanks Ollie, I'm delighted that it resonated (and that you enjoyed the delivery :))

"An intelligent person needs to hear something 6 times before they get it". Hope everyone watches the video at least 6 times.

I am on my 4th right now. Only 2 hours of your life to learn something. Not bad

[@louisehowland8002]

Great talk, really makes you think about your online behaviour, I have already shared this with my friends and family!

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thank you Louise - I really appreciate you spreading the message, it's at the heart of my thinking.

[@AdamBurnessSmith1987]

An amazing talk that identifies that everyone needs to be aware that they are the main defense against cybersecurity attacks for the organization they work for. It is so true that most organizations tick the "I have a policy for this" box and carry on as before.

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thanks Adam - here's hoping we can get the message spread far and wide....

[@djtex1899]

A complex subject made simple and straightforward for all, all presented in a captivating style. :)

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thank you! I really appreciate and value your feedback.

[@JackieMitchell9]

[@triciawoolfrey6803]

So sad that we live in a world where we have to trust less but clearly this is true - cyber security is to big an issue for all of us. Thanks Rob for your insightful talk.

[@thoughtprovoked]

Thank you Tricia I appreciate your support. I also agree that it's sad but unfortunately it's also a must! Thanks again. Rob

Hey Smokey Pound. As GDPR will hit us next May this couldn't be more relevant or scary! Great talk. Almond Wood.

[@dallysinghson5569]

GDPR will hit us? Like an attack? If anything GDPR is a blessing, not a great one but a start.

Hello. I'm an academic librarian with Harding University. I'm contacting you on behalf of one of our College of Business Administration faculty members who would like permission to embed this video as supplemental instructional content in his online course. May he have permission to do so, providing of course that no alterations are made to the video and that attribution is given to Rob May as the originator of the material?

[@thoughtprovoked]

Hi Justin - yes please share the message - thanks and warm wishes Rob

I guess its a relief then that in the long-run we're all dead

[@montybonza879]

Stop blaming end users and employees. Poor IT practices lead to breaches. Yes, end users need to have common sense understanding of cyber attacks but educating them is just one of the aspects of cyber security.

[@thoughtprovoked]

This isn't a case of blame, the issue is too many people rely on IT being the solution, to your point, IT is a part of the solution, as is employee education. You can have all the best IT practices in the world but if a helpful member of your team opens the door and invites a criminal in those defences are negated.
