For anyone with an internet connected device (basically everyone), this is a must listen podcast. The information Carey presents, the people interviewed and the privacy and security suggestions are priceless. If we all up our security and privacy game with just some of the info Carey mentions,...Read full review »

My favorite cyber security, privacy podcast. Mr. Parker is very knowledgeable, clean, and leaves politics out of the discussion. He explains things in easy to understand ways. His book is wonderful too. Thanks Mr. Parker, you’re the best.

I’m in two minds about this podcast. The host basically reads current IT/cybersecurity articles out. It’s sort of interesting as the topics can be quite relevant, but just reading articles for an hour? Don’t want to put you off listening but it can be a little dry.

I’ve only stumbled across Carey and his unique and insightful podcast recently, and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve been in IT for over 25 years and love everything about the show. Carey is a brilliant technologist, he is funny and insightful, and most importantly is able to translate highly...Read full review »

Carey does an excellent job of taking advanced digital and securtity concepts and explaning in common terms what they mean, what the dangers are, and what/where/how we can do anything about it. Great interviews with experts in a variety of tech fields who are fighting the good digital security...Read full review »

Stumbled on FDSG from Lock and Code podcast. So helpful to listen to well-researched info while doing house chores! Join me in donating, as this podcast is produced at cost.

It’s a little strange to say for a podcast but Firewalls don’t stop dragons is just a really friendly show that makes it easy to step into the world of security. If you’re interested in and space, regardless of your knowledge level, this is a great show to listen to.

When Apple announced its CSAM tracking plans, I suddenly realized that my comfortable life as a digital enthusiast and reluctant family tech support operator was over. My kiddie pool knowledge of digital self defense was now overwhelmed by the riptide of privacy theft that I had been swimming...Read full review »

I don’t have time to rove through scores of websites to keep up with cyber security news. Parker brings it all in to one short, fun, and entertaining podcast that’s easy to listen to. He has very practical concerns and applications and doesn’t get bogged down into unnecessary detail. Keep it up!

I have listened now for a couple of years, and I appreciate the way Carey breaks down difficult technical concepts into everyday language. He does a great job of telling me why it’s important, too. Carey interviews interesting guests from a variety of backgrounds, and he prepares me before the...Read full review »

I am loving this show. It can fire a little above a true beginner level, but stick with it if you are new to these concepts. For kids and parents and total beginners, I highly recommend the entertaining and conversational course on CyberPatriot that is included in ITPRO.TV’s free membership....Read full review »

I’ve only been listening for a few months, but in that time this podcast has become an essential listen. I enjoy the interviews and all the helpful suggestions. Sometimes this reminds me of a couple of books, “Scam Me If You Can” and “Phishing for Phools.” Now I just need an audio edition of...Read full review »

Been listening to this podcast for over a year now. GREAT PODCAST!!! His most recent book is simple enough that older people can understand it but also in-depth enough that it coveys the critical security information across at any age. Would highly recommend and in full disclosure I did NOT...Read full review »

I discovered this podcast online a few months ago. Thanks to Carey Parker's advice on how to improve cybersecurity and protect user privacy, I have added a VPN service, I use a password manager, and I am using an encrypted email service. I'm steadily extracting myself from Google's...Read full review »

Love the podcast. Carey is doing the good work that needs to be done around our privacy. AND he speaks in terms that are easy to understand and implement.

As a person who is tech friendly and tech aware- not only did I appreciate the review of phishing and ransom ware, but I also gained insights and learned new info. Carey has a gift for both explaining complicated tech and tech security concepts to the average user, but he also keeps more...Read full review »
