In this episode, Chelsey Bode, CEO of Pearson-Kelly Technology, sits down with cybersecurity expert Drew Sanford to talk about how the cybersecurity landscape has changed in the two years since Drew was in Springfield last.
When security issues happen in a business, they don't only impact that business' customers. It impacts that business and the 100 employees that work there. Cybersecurity strategies help them understand how to keep operating so they can keep paying their employees so they can keep providing services.
In the last two years, we've seen a stark shift in the way businesses and business owners talk about cybersecurity. In 2019/2020, managed service providers like Pearson-Kelly were educating small and medium sized businesses on the terminology and attack methods. Now, we're arguably in a worse off spot with business owners understanding what cybersecurity is, but not caring or not taking the time to do anything about it.
If you're business gets hit with a cyberattack, it's not just your bottom line in jeopardy. If you have to lay off staff, or close down completely, your employees go without paychecks and some families could go without food for the week.
This is a very real scenario. A business gets hit with a ransomware attack every 11 seconds.
If you don't have preventative tools in place to defend your business, you're putting your employees' families at risk. If you don't have an attack strategy in place for WHEN a hacker gets into your business, you're risking the livelihoods of everyone you employ, at the very least.
