Cyber Warning, Please Heed but Not From Me
I wonder if you happened to catch the 60 Minutes interview on Easter Sunday called Shields Up or the interview last night with the FBI director, Christopher Wray? Both were great interviews and highlighted the importance of Cybersecurity and the possibility of Russian and China-based Cyberattacks. These countries love Cyberattacks on American-based companies because most companies still believe that no one is looking to harm them. Traditionally, no one wants to invest in solutions they feel won't affect them. I can tell you that it's not a matter of "if" you will be attacked. It is a matter of "when," and it will happen. Before an attack working with a Fractional CIO can save you lots of money in the long run. I know you are skeptical, and you probably should be. Let's talk about that. It would be best if you probably were looking to purchase Cyber Insurance at this time. However, the Cyber Insurance company will want to mitigate their risk by making sure you have minimum security in place. The first part of any solution is pre-planning. Inventory everything and be complete. Make sure everything is on your list. If you use an automated tool to do the inventory, verify everything by doing a Walkthrough of the company. I had seen clients surprised by having equipment for years that they didn't know there and had never used, and they couldn't even remember when or why they bought the hardware.
