Today on Cyber Work, my guest is Raj Ananthanpillai, CEO of Trua, a company that is steeped in the current issues around digital credentials and data privacy. As you’ve no doubt heard, AT&T reported a data breach that compromised the personal information of approximately 7.6 million users! Ananthanpillai discusses Trua’s mission to leave data thieves holding an empty treasure chest, discusses his past work in creating TSA PreCheck and gives a bunch of great ideas and advice for making sure that you’re always thinking beyond your current position by learning and creating your way upward! All that, and a WHOLE bunch of vitriol at the industry-standard collecting of social security numbers, today on Cyber Work!
