Steven "Mac" McKeon - Cyber Criminal And Hacker Pandemic
Mac McKeon of MacguyverTech emphasizes that protecting your business from cyber criminals and hackers is a continuous ongoing activity not a one-time or annual task. Hackers are getting more sophisticated all the time, including using Artificial Intelligence. Mac states that it's not uncommon to get 500 - 600 hack attempts per day! This is an ongoing war with no detente in sight. Small businesses are attractive targets for hackers because they lack the defenses and vigilance found in larger enterprises. You need both systems and procedures for your people to have effective cybersecurity defenses. Listen to the end to hear why Mac's email signature mentions a big funeral.
