We want to start this off with a big "THANK YOU" to the great people at KTRS, Guy Phillips for making our radio debut such a great experience. We are really excited to continue with Tech Talk these next few weeks and see where things take us!

The vast majority of people could not ever imagine taking anything from a non-profit organization. Our minds typically drift to seeing what we can do for others when it comes to thinking about helping a non-profit group. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that way. Cyber criminals view these organizations as a target for cyber attacks. Unsure why non-profits are hot targets for these criminals? Here’s why:

Thinking you’re not at risk because you’re a small company is, unfortunately, a thought you can’t afford to have – 61% of all cyber-attacks target small businesses! They want your personal information, your keystrokes, your employee records, and more. Don’t give them the opportunity.

 Most businesses are aware of the different forms of cyber attacks. When it comes to keeping your business protected from an attack, one of the first steps you can take is to educate your employees about online safety. Employee education is a great step in preventing phishing emails. Yet, did you know that there is a similar attack out there and they are looking right at your senior management?

As a business owner, your focus is to ensure that your business systems and data are secure from threats. There are many ways to make that level of information security happen. You may find yourself asking, what is the best way? Which solution will provide the most return on your investment? Would it be a new firewall? Fresh antivirus and anti-malware apps to protect against cyber attacks? Actually, the answer might surprise you. The best return on your invested dollars is to help educate your end users. One ignorant end user can bring down your entire infrastructure no matter what you might have invested.

The 2018 Winter Olympics fell victim to a cyberattack before the games even had the chance to begin. Malware that has been dubbed the “Olympic Destroyer” affected Friday’s Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
