Episode 94 - Where Do You Start Your Security Journey as an SMB?

Aaron Bregg Season 5 Episode 19

In this episode I had a chance to speak with Chris Jordan and Al Wissigner about where a small and medium sized business (SMB) should start their security journey. This is especially important in this day and age of the ever expanding cloud infrastructure and Software as a Service (SaaS) models.  Both of these fine gentlemen work for Fluency and have a TON of experience working SMBs.

Talking Points:

  • The idea of bridging the gap between what they want to do and what they can afford to do?
  • Why is it so important for an SMB to understand how to properly do cross-platform?
  • Security companies are generally not targeting SMBs
  • Why is BEC one of the most important things to do understand?
  • How can a SMB use automation to help offset the lack of a large security team?

Episode Charity:

October's selected charity is called the Both Hands. Both Hands is an organization that helps local widows with chores/projects that are hard to do on their own, all while raising money for a family to adopt a child.
