The concept and idea behind Gravity Security was that everyone deserves a foundational level of security and privacy when it comes to technology. As technology becomes an ever larger part of our lives, a truly secure and privacy minded world can only be attained with an educated population.
In 2023, at the annual hacker convention BlackHat in Las Vegas, the White House acting national cyber director Kemba Walden discussed an educated population. “How do we make digital literacy the same as writing and math? We need to make sure we are teaching cybersecurity to our kids so that it is fully folded into the fabric of our society,” she said. That idea tied with a personal love of technology and a love of people formulated the idea behind this effort.
This website and the path of Gravity Security aims to help teach cybersecurity concepts in a way that is easy to understand. It will cover topics related to device security, Internet and network security, privacy, online scams and other areas of concern.
