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.

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. During that now-infamous hearing in May 1998, one told senators that “any of the seven individuals seated before you” could take down the Internet in just half an hour.

Phishing is one of the main cybersecurity risks that organizations of any size face, and it’s a major way in which an organization can become compromised. However, many organizations still don’t have a cybersecurity plan despite the growing threats that they are facing every day.

From molding plastic furniture, to ostrich farms, Roger Gerber has one eclectic resume. Roger and his wife Beth are the owners of Blackwing Meats in Antioch, IL. Blackwing is one of North America's leading providers of healthy red and poultry meats to consumers, retailers, and food service industries.

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.
