To kick off the conversation, Adam asks Jake about the recent large-scale ransomware attacks in the news and how they illustrate the importance of having cybersecurity protocols and prevention tactics in place at an organization. Jake talks about the security gaps he often sees at organization during he discovery phase of managed IT implementation including old credentials and former employees still having access to private information. He also shares how most cyber-attacks aren’t about your business specifically, it’s all about how much information they feel like they can gather from your organization. 

Adam and Jake emphasize the importance of being proactive instead of being reactive based off the stories being shared in the news. Jake encourages listeners to consider the investments they are making to protect their company data, including the caliber of their current technology, what cybersecurity training measures they have in place and having a business continuity plan just in case. Jake then dives into the details of having a business continuity plan so that you can mitigate and limit the exposure of a potential cyber-attack and how these plans often work. Finally, Adam and Jake touch upon utilizing cyber liability insurance and the advantages of having a policy for an extra layer of protection and how polices have evolved to become more robust to account for the growing number of attacks.
