What if I told you that your entire network and cyber infrastructure was constantly being probed?
Would you deem me paranoid?
What if I told you that you are one step away from an employee taking your data and you will have no idea?
Starting to wonder now?
What if I told you that conventional wisdom has made you believe that cybersecurity is so complex and must be handled only by certified individuals from large conglomerates that have monetized the industry into certifications? Worse you bought into that thinking ignoring the fact that hackers are not certified but are always one step ahead of corporations and the norm.
What if I told you that you have created your infrastructure in a dysfunctional modular manner based on information given to you most likely by someone charging you by the hour and left you to rot as your system became rancid with age and issues? Would you call them again knowing they will still charge you an exorbitant rate and only do the same?
Society and mass media have lied to you. We are told that effective cybersecurity is only such when its administered by an individual with some government background and certifications by large companies. A hacker is not certified and cannot pass a background check, yet those who are in the corporate sphere who claim to know so well can simply not keep up. Their certifications and security clearances have given them no shield in preventing what is being done.
Worse, your system not only is not secure, but you spent all this money and are not seeing the full potential of what is available to you. Your cyber infrastructure is a tool meant to enhance your business, not something you put all this money into, so it can collapse because you’re not using it right.
The images above are companies that practiced the same tired notion of cybersecurity and how they tended to their infrastructure. It didn't work and still does not. As a small business you don't have the resources they do so you cannot afford their stupidity.
Its time to take it back.
