To reduce cyber risk, it’s important to invest in a combination of people, process, and technology to stay a step ahead of the bad guys.
The majority of hackers surveyed in the 2018 “Black Report” claimed they could breach a perimeter and exfiltrate data in less than a day.
You may not be worried about getting hacked, but what happens if your IT support company does?
Think about this, your IT company has ALL the keys to the kingdom. If they were hacked, then believe it or not, you've probably been compromised too.
If they aren't constantly preaching the importance of security in YOUR business, then what might we guess about THEIR own practices?

Twenty years ago this week, a collective of young hackers came to Washington with a warning for Congress: Software and computer networks everywhere were woefully insecure.

What is Cyber Resiliency?
Simply put, cyber resilience is a measure of how well an organization can operate its business during a data breach or cyberattack. Security teams have measures in place to detect and stop attacks, and they have recovery plans for the inevitable breach, but can they, along with IT, keep critical business processes such as order fulfillment, customer service, or accounting operating during a crisis?
Not everyone has to be a security pro, but those in development or in other technical roles must understand security’s importance to the larger organization.
