Picture your home or apartment. Then, think back to the last time you inspected it for wear-and-tear damage, like the small holes and cracks that seem manageable until critters, drafts, or rain find their way inside.
Cybersecurity is a little bit like that. There are big gaps, of course, and then the small ones we seldom think about – such as cyber risks in third-party relationships and the level of protection we give to our cloud-based or other digital systems. Many clients are surprised by what risks are lurking in their environment.
This isn't meant to incite stress, but it is an invitation to prepare. When was the last time you had your “cyber house” examined?
And if it’s been a while, what are you waiting for?
