Are you or your company an easy mark for cybercriminals or scam artists?
You’re not alone. Some of the smartest leaders and best-run companies in America have been caught off guard—and most don’t want to talk about it.

Christian shares 5 simple and effective things every business should be doing right now to reduce their cyber risk. We also unpack the human element of cybersecurity, communication breakdowns, and how even tech-savvy teams can get blindsided if their mindset isn’t right.

00:00So what I always tell people when they ask where to start, I always say the basics.
00:03So if you don't know what's on your environment, you don't know if a cyber criminal is on the environment,
00:06and you don't know all the devices you have to update.
00:08The second thing is multi-factor authentication.
00:11Third thing is any device you put on your network, make sure it's secure.
00:16Just taking an IoT device out of the box and installing it doesn't mean it's securely configured.
00:23The fourth thing is simple patching and updating.
00:26And then the last thing I would say is to train your users.
00:30On phishing emails, but not just that, on the impersonation attacks where someone tries to pretend they're the CEO.
00:38Because my company gets these all the time.
00:39People are trying to pretend they're me, asking someone on my team to pay an invoice or something.
00:43Just educating your team on these sort of attacks is important.
