This initiative was created in 2023 by the RCTS CERT team, a digital service of the Foundation for Science and Technology, developed through FCCN, which responds to computer security incidents within the RCTS network.
"Tell me your password" came about with the premise of disseminating information that would allow any citizen to understand "how to protect themselves and the data they share", he said at the time of its launch.
"The initial idea was to publish 6 episodes, but reaching 12 was an important milestone and an achievement for our podcast. Crucial topics in the area of cybersecurity have been covered and we hope that "Tell me your password" will continue to add listeners. We want our podcast to reach more and more people and cover topics that are important to our listeners," explains Filipa Macieira, member of the RCTS CERT.
