This week, Dr. Eric Cole breaks down what most people are afraid to admit: the United States is not prepared for modern cyber warfare.
After the release of President Trump’s new Cyber Strategy, Dr. Cole exposes what’s missing, what’s misleading, and why a seven-page plan may signal a much deeper problem. From the lack of real enforcement and data privacy laws to the dangerous illusion of “infrastructure protection,” this episode challenges everything you think you know about national cybersecurity.
But the real wake-up call comes from abroad. A recent Iranian cyberattack didn’t just breach a company; it wiped it out. No ransom. No warning. Just a calculated demonstration of asymmetric warfare that succeeded with little resistance.
This isn’t theory. This is happening now.
Dr. Cole explains why we are already operating in wartime conditions, why businesses and individuals are the real targets, and how outdated thinking is leaving everyone exposed. Most importantly, he gives you practical, immediate steps to protect your data, reduce your attack surface, and rethink cybersecurity before you become the next headline.
Because in today’s world, cybersecurity isn’t optional.
It’s survival.
