A majority of small and mid-sized enterprises (SME) have outstanding debt. It’s the cost of growing a business. But you might be surprised to know that your debt can extend far beyond the money owed to a lender. Many SMEs are also accumulating technical debt — the costs associated with reworking code, products, and solutions that have been improperly implemented to deliver a product more quickly. One of the more costly types of technical debt is cyber debt.  Cyber debt […]

It’s no surprise that data breaches and cyberattacks are on the rise. The Identity Theft Resource Center issued a press release in October of 2021 saying that the number of data breaches that had occurred in 2021 through September had already surpassed the number of attacks in all of 2020 — a year in which small businesses saw a 424% increase in cyberattacks. What’s worse is that adversaries don’t discriminate and they’re using the same tactics against businesses big and small. […]

We spoke to Brian Stuckey, a cybersecurity and risk management expert, investor, and co-founder who provided helpful insight and expertise for this article. For many startup founders and cofounders, the process of raising money from investors and other VCs brings a few different challenges. Potential investors are looking for financially sound companies with a hyper growth potential, the right leaders, and a vision they can trust in. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on company leaders to ensure their […]

Cyber debt can be incredibly detrimental to a young or growing company and it’s all too easy to accrue. Businesses often fail to set up the proper security measures early on because they are deemed too expensive or time consuming. As people, technology, and devices are added to a business’s ecosystem, they are protected on a one-off basis — or not at all — leaving gaps bad actors can exploit. And because these businesses lack a security strategy, they’re also […]

2021 was a tumultuous year for cybersecurity and, unfortunately, we saw the effects of successful cybersecurity attacks across major companies and industries. The trends we observed in 2020 largely continued in 2021. Ransomware attacks continued to increase and a few major hacks dominated news media around the world. The Colonial Pipeline attack showed how devastating these ransomware attacks could be, and the immediate impact to supply chains and municipal infrastructures. The aftermath of 2020’s SolarWinds hack was also at the […]

There’s a new vulnerability making waves across the cybersecurity industry and the business media at large. It’s called log4j, it’s a zero-day exploit, remote code execution vulnerability, and is found within a number of various third-party vendors, infrastructure providers, and SaaS companies. Because these companies are major third-party providers, the number of companies, sites, and services impacted are wide. A zero-day exploit or vulnerability refers to the fact that the vulnerability is unpatched and is often discovered by hackers first, […]

Managing cybersecurity vendors wasn’t the daunting task it is these days. Not too long ago, organizations were bound by a perimeter, and it was simpler to piece together a set of capabilities to stay safe and secure. Businesses of all sizes followed a surefire formula that kept most of them safe. With the introduction of the cloud and the push for digital transformation, everything changed. The perimeter has largely evaporated — companies rarely own their servers and entire teams are […]

Endpoint security looks quite a bit different than it did several years ago. Organizations these days are much more disparate and disconnected. In many ways, the perimeter has dissolved and organizations have less control over what aspects of their environment they can secure.  This results in endpoints becoming the most important element for an organization’s cybersecurity. We advocate implementing an EPP solution for all your endpoints. It can help secure your organization and provide a critical mass of telemetry that […]

Today’s threat landscape is advancing dramatically, putting more and more businesses at risk. And as new threats and vulnerabilities emerge, new cybersecurity products hit the market claiming to protect against them. Though this might sound like a positive thing, the reality is a bit more complicated.  The cybersecurity space is already extremely saturated with more than 3,500 security vendors. And that number is quickly growing. The global cybersecurity market was valued at $167.13 billion in 2020 and is expected to […]
