Host Paul Redmond sits down with Gavin Dixon, founder of Business IT Solutions, to tackle one of the most critical (and often intimidating) topics for business owners today: how to strengthen your cybersecurity and lock down your data—without locking down your team.

In this practical, no-jargon conversation, they break down:

·        Why multi-factor authentication (MFA) is non-negotiable—and how to implement it smoothly in your business

·        The surprising risks of weak passwords (and why a password manager is your new best friend)

·        Creating a "no-blame" security culture—how to encourage openness and fast response when things go wrong

·        Real-world threats targeting SMEs—from phishing to ransomware—and how to spot them early

·        Simple, smart policies that make a big difference without overwhelming your staff

Gavin’s down-to-earth advice proves that cybersecurity isn’t just for IT departments—it’s a vital part of running a modern business. Whether you're leading a growing team or flying solo, this episode will give you practical steps to reduce risk, protect your reputation, and sleep better at night.
