Cyber Hero Micro Briefing Series with Matt Topper

Security, privacy and identity are very serious topics but the people beyond these technologies are human – they are creative and they find unique ways to solve the complex problems surrounding these topics. This week’s big blockbuster premiere coming in with a bang is “Oppenheimer”, the new Christopher Nolan movie starring Cillian Murphy as the infamous Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb. 

Although our Cyber Hero this week may not have created one of the most secretive, private and protected research sites on earth like Oppenheimer, he has built a space where users can scale, build resilience and safely and securely access the service. Matt Topper of UberEther is a big proponent of safety and security, and he believes high-level security should be accessible to everyone, not just a few scientists in Los Alamos. 

While they are not guarding the secrets of the nuclear bomb, most regulated industries have incredibly high security requirements nowadays including multi factor authentication. Listen to Matt dissect the pros and cons of this kind of technology and its place moving forward.
