About this listen

Joseph Steinberg is a leading cybersecurity expert who has worked in the field since its early days, tracing his journey back to the pre-commercial internet of the 1980s and 90s. With a strong technical foundation and a master’s degree from NYU, he began his career in the mid-1990s, integrating security systems for financial institutions before moving into startups, writing, consulting, and eventually expert witness testimony.

Recognized for his ability to demystify complex digital evidence in court, Steinberg now helps legal teams navigate high-stakes cybersecurity litigation. His insights have shaped public understanding of cyber threats, from early online scams to today’s deepfake-powered fraud and nation-state attacks. A former Forbes columnist and author of Cybersecurity for Dummies, he emphasizes practical cyber hygiene, multi-factor authentication, and strong password habits.

Steinberg continues to raise awareness about digital risks and AI’s evolving role in cybercrime, advocating for personal responsibility and education in a world where attackers only need to succeed once—but defenders must be vigilant always.
