Cybersecurity isn’t about being 100% protected because that doesn’t exist. It’s about reducing risk, day after day. The key is continuous monitoring and constant improvement. #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #InformationSecurity #AttackSurfaceManagement #SmallBusiness #SmallBusinesses

People just keep clicking on stuff, just keep clicking on links and attachments. Companies like Jaguar Land Rover get compromised and shut down completely. So they had to literally shut down all their systems. Now, I'm not saying that I know that that was the threat vector or that that's how they get compromised. It's just never going to end. It's like physical security. Cyber security is no different. It's just there's always a way in, not just the way it's going to be a state of Pennsylvania. Same thing, ransomware attack. That's the that's the cost of doing Business Today. And it doesn't matter how much you invest in security, you're always going to get compromised. The end of the day, it's just about reducing as much risk as you possibly can. And that's it. Somebody can hack you, compromise your company in seconds, and it can take weeks to complete a forensics investigation before the insurance company is going to even do a payout, if they will do a payout. If you're in cyber security, you're in security awareness, and that's where you spend a lot. Keep going at it, keep working with your people. Don't give up on them. They need you. You know, we just got to keep supporting businesses and trying to protect our economy. That's all we can do, OK. Talk to you later, bye.

The most dangerous phrase in cybersecurity? “It won’t happen to us.” Threats evolve daily, and businesses that underestimate risk are the ones most affected. Managed IT helps you stay proactive and prepared—because prevention is always less costly than recovery. #cybersecurity #managedit #dataprotection #businesscontinuity

People treat firewalls like they are a silver bullet for security. They are not. At the core, a firewall is just a traffic filter. It decides what gets in and what gets out based on rules someone configured. If those rules are wrong or incomplete, attackers walk right through. The tool is only as strong as the person who understands and maintains it. Blind trust in technology without critical thinking is one of the biggest risks in cybersecurity. #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #SOC #PenTesting #BlueTeam
