Listen now

Description

This is the first episode of a series where we focus on one of the attack types that has been making a lot of noise in the news recently... ransomware. In this series, we'll cover topics to help you understand what it is, why your business should care, what you can do to protect yourself. And hopefully you never need it, BUT .... how you should prepare in case you're ever in the precarious situation of being locked out of your data. At AlphaONE, we specialize in working with SMBs -- or Small & Medium Size Businesses. We hear things like "I'm too small, the bad guys don't care about me" or "I have cybersecurity insurance for when I get hit." There are many reasons that this way of thinking can be disastrous and Kevin touches on them all in this series so be sure to listen for help in keeping your name out of the security headlines!
