Weekly video series breaks down cybersecurity jargon in under 60 seconds, featuring former cybercrime detective Adam Pilton.

Heimdal today officially launches the “Cyber in 60” weekly video series in which Adam Pilton, a former cybercrime detective and now Cybersecurity Advisor at Heimdal, breaks down one cybersecurity term or concept in under 60 seconds.

Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated and this series proves it. Using everyday language and the occasional comparison to real-world crimes, it is designed to be consumable and educational.”

This series solves an old tech to human translation problem. The people who need to understand cybersecurity usually get an explanation that assumes they already speak tech. “Cyber in 60” was built to close that gap.

“Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated and this series proves it. By using everyday language and dropping in the occasional comparison to traditional, real world crimes, this series is designed to be easily consumable as well as educational.” said Adam Pilton, Cybersecurity Advisor at Heimdal and host of “Cyber in 60.”

Who it’s for

“Cyber in 60” is aimed at both people who want to understand cybersecurity better or need to explain its main concepts to others.
• MSPs use it to walk non-technical customers through a specific situation.
• School IT admins use it to explain a proposed change to a manager outside IT.
• Teachers with no cybersecurity background can use the episodes as classroom material.
• Students entering the field use it to build vocabulary quickly.
• Online safety NGOs use it to explain risk to the public in plain terms.

So far, the series has covered endpoint detection and response (EDR), vulnerability management, and privileged access management (PAM), with more topics on the way, including ransomware protection, patch management, DNS over HTTPS, intrusion prevention systems, and email encryption.
