What is Cyber Mindful?

What can be the cost of being distracted in life and on the internet?

Every 2 seconds someone is a victim of identity theft and every 39 seconds a cyberattack occurs.

But, there is a greater and safer way to live, by becoming aware of what your daily habits are and learning to transform the technological world from a "distraction" to a tool to enhance your life.

In the Cyber Mindful Podcast, you'll find practical tips and strategies for maintaining a healthy balance between your online and offline life. From meditation and mindfulness techniques adapted to the digital environment, to tips for protecting your personal information and surfing the internet safely.

You'll walk hand in hand with Sandra Estok, who, as a victim of identity theft, for six years lived the effects of this crime, making travel a nightmare, as well as nearly ruining her marriage and career. But she refused to be just a victim. Now, as a cybersecurity expert, she has dedicated herself to empowering her community on how to make cybersecurity part of their lifestyle to protect themselves and what matters most to them. Sandra inspires and guides us with her BE I AM methodology: Be Intentional, Be Aware and Be Mindful.
