Hosts:
Justin Shelley - https://www.phoenixitadvisors.com/Mario Zaki - https://www.mazteck.com/
In this episode, Justin and Mario dive deep into why "I didn't know" isn't a legal defense when your business gets hit with a cyber attack. Using a realistic scenario of a 60-employee manufacturing company facing $180,000 in losses from ransomware, they explore how delayed IT decisions can devastate businesses overnight.
The hosts kick off a comprehensive mini-series on cybersecurity governance, frameworks, and compliance, breaking down complex topics for non-technical business owners. Mario shares real-world stories from his MSP practice, including the shocking reality of passwords taped to monitors and the doctor who simply didn't care about security.
Key topics covered: the true cost of cyber attacks, cybersecurity frameworks (CIS, NIST), multi-factor authentication beyond just Office 365, risk assessment strategies, and why business owners must take ownership of their cybersecurity decisions.
Whether your industry is regulated or not, this episode provides the foundation every business owner needs to make intelligent security decisions and protect their greatest asset: their business.
