Your work laptop isn’t yours — and one legal issue inside your company can put your logins, browsing, and messages under review.
We break down the real tools cyber pros use to “see” what’s happening on networks — and what that visibility means for your privacy.
In this episode, we unpack:
Why Wireshark is the “truth serum” of the internet
How SOC tools (like Snort) catch real behavior on real networks
Why using personal accounts on a work device can backfire
What VPNs and DNS leaks mean for your browsing privacy
The tool mindset that separates guessing from knowing
