FAQ
Common questions.
What topics do you cover on-air?
Cybersecurity for consumers and small businesses, breaking-news cyber incidents (ransomware, breaches, scams), AI safety and practical use, online privacy, mobile and home-network security, and the recurring "what should I do this week" segments newsrooms run on tech safety.
How quickly can you turn around an on-air response to breaking news?
Same-day for most South Florida stations — that is the standing arrangement with WPTV NBC 5 and WFLX FOX 29 and has been for over a decade. Out-of-market or new outlets: within hours given the topic is in scope.
Available for remote (Zoom, Skype, satellite) interviews?
Yes. Studio-quality home setup for remote interviews on short notice; satellite or in-studio for stations where that is the format.
Do you do paid speaking engagements?
Yes. Keynotes and breakout sessions for chambers of commerce, professional associations, corporate offsites, university classes, and law-firm CLE events. Topics include cybersecurity for executives, the practical AI-in-business landscape, and the lessons three decades of incident response have taught about how organizations actually fail.
Will you do podcast and long-form interviews?
Yes. Podcasts, business radio, online video, and long-form magazine features are all in scope. Background prep and topic alignment in advance, plain-English delivery in the interview.
