What Permissions Are Your Phone Apps Really Using? (2026/734)

When you install an app, it asks for permissions that a website would never be allowed to request. Camera, contacts, location, photos, files and push notifications are all on the table, and those permissions are often left on permanently.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ How apps access parts of your phone that websites cannot reach
➡️ Why permissions granted at install are often left on and forgotten
⚡ How push notifications give companies a direct channel to your screen
⭐ What to look for when reviewing app permissions on your device
❗ Why you should audit your installed apps regularly, not just their permissions
✨ How to use temporary permissions like “only while using the app”

Privacy is a right, not something you trade away for convenience. Review your app permissions and decide what access you’re actually comfortable giving.

How Do Business Owners Assess Technology Risk? (2026/765)

How can business owners make informed technology decisions if they cannot personally understand or verify everything their business relies on?

This is a question every business owner should ask, because of the Trust Gap. That's the gap between what you can verify and what you have to trust exists across every part of a business.

In today's episode, Charly explores:

✅ The importance of a tool a Business might only use once or twice a year.
➡️ Why understanding what a system does for the business may matter more than understanding how it works.
⚡ How a failure that’s a minor inconvenience for one business could stop another from working.
⭐ Why bringing in a specialist doesn’t transfer responsibility for the decision.

What parts of your business would need attention first if a system or supplier failed?

How Do Supply Chain Problems Reach Your Business? (2026/764)

What do arsenic in beer, faulty computer chips and a supply chain attack have in common? A problem can reach you through a product you trust, from a supplier you’ve never heard of.

An AFP investigation prompted Charly to look at how far back these problems go:

✅ A brewery’s ingredients brought something nobody ordered into the beer.
➡️ IBM found itself dealing with a problem in Intel’s chips.
⚡ Shared software can carry one compromise into many different products.
⭐ Being careful still leaves a place for a recovery plan.

There are lessons here for your business, including why choosing a trusted supplier is only part of managing the risk.

Join Charly for Firewall Friday and consider what you’d need to keep your business running if a supplier’s problem became yours.
