Here's a term that I just heard that all of us must be aware of: “surveillance capitalism”. The term and the practice is one that is especially prominent in our current online digital age. Simply stated, surveillance capitalism is about monitoring people's online behavior, including that of our kids, in order to capture data about one's preferences and habits in order to take that data and use it to target that person with carefully curated marketing and advertising, all in the name of getting that person to buy, buy, and buy some more. The data that's collected is personal info, personal interests, the websites you visit, and your social preferences and lifestyle habits. Recently, Facebook was accused of tracking when adolescent girls deleted their selfies. Believing that these girls were emotionally vulnerable in that moment, Facebook then fed them a beauty ad. All marketing targets our hopes for redemption. Help your kids see that buying stuff doesn't meet their need for Jesus.

In this essential professional development episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley demonstrates the importance of conducting an annual Google search audit of your academic presence. She provides practical guidance for academics on monitoring and managing their online research profile, particularly during summer months when professional development tasks typically receive more attention. Christine begins by sharing her personal practice of Googling herself annually, acknowledging that while she doesn't always maintain perfect consistency, this summer task has become integral to her professional maintenance routine. She explains how summer naturally lends itself to career-focused activities like CV updates, professional organization memberships, and overall research profile assessment. During her live demonstration of searching her own name, Christine reveals several key insights about academic online presence. She expresses satisfaction that her search results display primarily research-oriented content, including conference presentations with proper institutional affiliations and research interests. Notably, she celebrates that Google's algorithm has finally updated to reflect her current research areas rather than outdated interests from 15 years ago - a common problem academics face with persistent, obsolete online information. Her search results showcase a well-rounded academic digital footprint including her institution, LinkedIn profile, Defend Publish & Lead company page, personal WordPress site, sabbatical work at Ohio State, book publications, ResearchGate, Humanities Commons, X (formerly Twitter) posts, and Google Scholar profile. She notes that posts from Inside Higher Education also appear in her results, demonstrating the value of external publication visibility. However, Christine identifies a significant gap in her current online presence: two new books published in April - an edited collection on faculty writing research and a Routledge publication on time management for academic mothers (Rec Comp Moms) - are notably absent from her first-page search results. This discovery illustrates the episode's central point about the need for proactive promotion of recent scholarship. Christine explains the strategic importance of maintaining current search visibility, noting that while people may discover new work through social media posts, many researchers conduct Google searches when they encounter someone's work for the first time. If recent publications don't appear on the first page, potential readers and collaborators may miss significant contributions to the field. She discusses the nuanced relationship between Google's algorithm and academic self-promotion, explaining that consistent activity around specific projects eventually leads to first-page visibility. While a 2018 book continues to appear prominently in her results, she emphasizes the need to actively promote newer work through various channels including Substack blogs, LinkedIn posts, and other content that refreshes regularly. Christine positions this digital audit as complementary to traditional CV work, particularly valuable for academics preparing for job market activities or tenure and promotion applications in the fall. She stresses that a well-organized Google presence can significantly impact professional opportunities when search committees or colleagues investigate an academic's background. The episode concludes with information about Defend Publish & Lead's upcoming faculty development seminarsavailable through Eventbrite, covering topics from faculty writing groups to supporting chairs and deans as writers, paragraph writing for dissertation students, and book writing strategies.

Season 07 Episode 08: Bollywood & The Digital FootprintThis episode starts with Sara reflecting on the nature of her spirit animal and the symbols of her brand identity: a mix of frivolity and banditry. For more on spirit animals, tune in to S02 E14: Spirit Animals.Trajce introduces a case on an injured worker who submitted a claim against her employer, a national grocery chain. The claim arose from her experience of heel pain. However, the employer discovered that the injured worker enjoyed dancing and maintained this activity throughout her claim period. In fact, she danced "with great gusto," Bollywood style, “Putting her back into it,” said Alan. When the employee tested the limits of her claims compensation, the grocery chain funded a private investigator to monitor the injured worker. The investigator discovered her social media dance profiles replete with videos of her dancing escapades. “Instagram had a seat at the legal table,” Trajce deliberates. “The digital footprint,” agrees Sara.The team talk about organisational decision making. Sara elaborates on these ideas with a detailed, simple and common case example to apply multi-criteria decision making.

In today's digital age, having a strong online presence isn't just optional—it's essential. Your digital footprint is the content, stories, and expertise you share online that allow people to find and connect with you.

Peter Gigengack shares his insights on this pressing issue, recounting how he navigated the emotional and logistical hurdles of managing a loved one's digital footprint after their passing.A Personal Story of Loss and DiscoveryPeter's journey into the realm of digital legacies began when his elderly relative, "John," passed away.

Drawing on his technical expertise, Peter took the lead, discovering firsthand the difficulties that come with managing digital identities without preparation.Ethical and Legal ConsiderationsThe discussion moves into the ethical and legal complexities of managing digital legacies. Peter admits that while his family's choices were driven by love and respect, they highlighted a significant gray area between honoring someone's memory and navigating privacy laws.These questions are universal: What rights do families have to access a loved one's digital accounts? How can individuals protect their online presence while providing their families with the tools they need to manage it?Preparing for the InevitableSean and Marco discuss proactive steps, such as assigning digital heirs, securing access to critical accounts, and incorporating digital assets into estate planning. They also challenge technology providers to offer clearer solutions for managing digital legacies responsibly and ethically.The conversation emphasizes the need for individuals to take ownership of their digital afterlives while advocating for systemic changes that ease the burden on grieving families.The Future of Digital ImmortalityThe episode explores the broader implications of digital immortality. In an age where online personas often outlast their creators, society must grapple with how we remember, honor, and even interact with the deceased.Marco, Sean, and Peter discuss potential technologies, like AI-driven tools that could simulate conversations with late loved ones, and the ethical dilemmas they may bring.

Guests: Benji Zorella, eLearning Instructional Designer, CyberCXOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjiz/Rebecca Caldwell, Phishing Content Specialist, Phriendly PhishingOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bec-j-caldwell/Hosts: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________Episode NotesKicking off the episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli highlight the uniquely local flavor of the conference. With Benji and Bec calling Melbourne home, the guests reflect on the value of attending such a prominent event in their backyard while drawing on their experiences as hosts of their own cybersecurity podcast.Unmasking Phishing in the Digital AgePhishing takes center stage as Benji and Bec share stories and insights about the dangers lurking behind cleverly crafted scams. Sean Martin draws a clever comparison between traditional fishing methods and the digital phishing tactics cybercriminals use today—hooking victims by exploiting their trust and curiosity.Benji drives the conversation deeper, explaining how a person's digital footprint—especially in an age of AI-driven tools like deepfakes—can be weaponized for deception. The guests underscore the importance of remaining vigilant and minimizing the personal information we leave online, turning our digital habits into our best line of defense.Cybersecurity Education: The First Line of DefenseShifting gears, the group emphasizes the need to move beyond relying solely on tech-driven safeguards and focus on building a culture of cybersecurity awareness within organizations. Bec Caldwell shares actionable strategies, likening cybersecurity education to learning how to drive—starting small and gradually building confidence in spotting risks. Empowering employees to question suspicious contexts fosters not just better security, but a collaborative culture of accountability.AI: Friend or Foe?The role of AI emerges as a hot topic, sparking a discussion about its dual impact on cybersecurity. While AI enables sophisticated phishing attacks, it also holds the potential to strengthen defenses. The panel imagines AI tools evolving to provide real-time security nudges, similar to how cars alert drivers to potential hazards. It's a balancing act, as AI must be wielded thoughtfully to enhance—not replace—human vigilance.The Human Factor in CybersecurityThroughout the conversation, one message resonates: the enduring power of human intuition. Benji recounts a gripping story of a CEO who thwarted a highly advanced phishing attempt with a simple, old-school phone verification. This moment reinforces the idea that while tech can improve security measures, the human touch remains irreplaceable.Future-Proofing CybersecurityAs the episode winds down, the group reflects on thought-provoking audience questions from the conference. From AI's impact on CISO responsibilities to how generational shifts in digital communication shape cybersecurity strategies, the guests underscore the need for adaptability as both technology and society evolve.A Final Call to ActionMarco Ciappelli and Sean Martin wrap up with a clear takeaway for their listeners: stay curious, ask questions, and embrace skepticism online. The key to navigating today's cyber landscape is a mix of awareness, education, and the occasional gut check—because even in a tech-driven world, the human element is our greatest asset.____________________________This Episode's SponsorsThreatlocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974____________________________ResourcesBytes with Bec and Benji podcast: https://www.phriendlyphishing.com/resources/podcastsLearn more and catch more stories from Australian Cyber Conference 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/australian-cyber-conference-melbourne-2024-cybersecurity-event-coverage-in-australiaBe sure to share and subscribe!____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-cybersecurity-society-humanity-conference-and-event-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?Learn More
