In this edition of The Leader’s List, Bryon Morrison and Logan Speights, Proxxy’s CEOs, discuss cybersecurity’s importance for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The discussion covers the following topics:
- The definition of cybersecurity and why it is crucial for SMBs, even if they don’t have valuable data. SMBs can become a “Trojan horse” for hackers to access their larger clients.
- Strategies for SMBs to approach cybersecurity, include leveraging existing security features in their technology tools, partnering with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for additional security, and developing a crisis plan with the help of security experts.
- The importance of employee training and a “security-first” mindset to address the human element, which is often the weakest link in cybersecurity.
- The role of the CEO in prioritizing cybersecurity as a critical initiative, championing it within the organization, and rewarding employees for their vigilance.
- The emerging threat of generative AI and its potential for impersonation attacks, further emphasizes the need for ongoing security awareness and verification procedures.
