Host Dave Sobel welcomes Craig Petronella, founder of Petronella Technology Group, to discuss the evolving landscape of technology compliance and cybersecurity. With a focus on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), Craig highlights its significance for defense industrial base contractors and its potential to streamline compliance across various industries. He emphasizes that while regulations like HIPAA and FTC compliance exist, they often lack a consistent framework, leading to confusion and non-compliance among businesses.Craig shares his insights on the current state of compliance, noting that many organizations, including those in healthcare, are not adequately meeting regulatory standards. He points out that the CMMC introduces a more rigorous approach, requiring third-party validation for compliance, which could help address the shortcomings of existing frameworks. This shift towards a proof-based model aims to ensure that businesses cannot simply check boxes to claim compliance but must provide evidence of their adherence to security controls.The conversation also delves into the challenges of enforcement and accountability in compliance. Craig argues that without significant consequences for non-compliance, such as losing the ability to operate in certain sectors, many organizations will continue to neglect their security responsibilities. He draws parallels to the driving test analogy, suggesting that just as individuals must demonstrate their driving skills to obtain a license, businesses should be held to similar standards in cybersecurity.Finally, Craig discusses the role of cybersecurity insurance in driving compliance. He explains how insurance companies are increasingly requiring businesses to implement basic security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, to qualify for coverage. This trend reflects a broader movement towards a "don't trust, verify" model, where organizations must take proactive steps to secure their systems. The episode concludes with Craig advocating for a future where AI and third-party validation play crucial roles in ensuring software security and compliance across industries. Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode, Craig Petronella, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author and CEO of Petronella Technology Group, Inc., discusses how to educate employees about corporate policies in working with IT about security issues. The training is delivered through online video and follow up exercises to assess each employee's comprehension of the training.Craig goes on to say that there are a series of tests, or trust factors, that each employee should complete when receiving an email to ensure it is safe to open. First, check to see if you recognize the person and email address that has been sent to you. Second, if there is an attachment, determine whether you were expecting an email with an attachment from that person. Third, look at the type of attachment to see if it is formatted with a recognized program (Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, etc.). Fourth, look at the links in an email and ensure that they are going where you expect them to go by hovering your mouse pointer over the link to see the destination and make sure it matches. Fifth is to look at the language used in the email and determine if it matches the sender's normal language pattern. If you fail to follow these trust factors and your system is breached, it may be months before you discover the breach and the ramifications of a breach.Another protection against malicious software or malware is to use next generation antivirus technology that protects against 99% of the threats. However, these solutions are typically only available to corporations with 5,000 employees or greater. Craig has developed a partnership to deliver this type of protection to much smaller businesses to avail them of the same protection afforded to large corporations. When combining this software with security awareness training and good data backup, the lower the risk your business has for a breach.Infection with ransomware, or where a company's data is held hostage until a ransom is paid, can completely destroy a business. Your company can also be easily infected by one of your vendors, who is unaware that their system has been hacked. Because the infection and impact can be months, if not years, apart, it is often difficult to connect the two.Craig Petronella, Raleigh, North Carolina's top cybersecurity expert and IT authority, has authored multiple books, including How HIPAA Can Crush Your Medical Practice and Peace of Mind Computer Support.
