Keep What You Earn Protecting Your Data Online with Kathy Zant
I have an episode for you today that is a bit different than normal, as we are not talking about taxes, money, or mindset but cybersecurity. I wanted to put this out because cybersecurity is an important part of keeping what you earn, and protecting yourself and your assets.
Numerous small businesses think that they aren't at risk of a security incident because they're too small. However, hackers know that smaller businesses have less security awareness and defenses to prevent hacks than large organizations do. Kathy Zant is here to share stories we can learn from and things we can all do to be more security aware, new tools that are available to protect us, and best practices for small business cybersecurity.
