Security News > 2020 > June > Podcast: Would You Use A Contact-Tracing Coronavirus App?

Let's just start with the big question here: Would you use a contact tracing app and why or why not?

Contact tracing is something still done by people in lab coats, and you know, something that you might see maybe in the movies, and it can be supported by exposure notifications, like an app on the phone.

The Singapore government has backed an open framework which they have based their TraceTogether app as well as Australia has based COVIDSafe, their contact-tracing app on as well.

So you have those, you have different U.S. states like Alabama, North Dakota, South Dakota, coming out with apps that are using Apple and Google's contact tracing tech.

Looking ahead, what do you see as being the future of contact tracing apps? Do you think that they'll gain more traction? It seems like you have a cautiously optimistic view of them.
