For many nonprofits, cybersecurity feels like a luxury they simply can't afford. But according to Michael Nouguier, Partner of Cybersecurity Services at Richey May, ignoring cybersecurity can end up being far more expensive than proactively investing in it.Michael dismantles the myth that strong digital security comes with an unaffordable price tag. In fact, many nonprofits already have powerful security tools built into systems they're already using—yet few take advantage of them. “What's almost as good as free,” Michael explains, “is something that you've already been paying for and didn't know that you could leverage.”From free services offered by federal agencies like CISA to deeply discounted nonprofit rates from companies like Microsoft and Google, this conversation uncovers a path to digital protection that doesn't require massive budget increases. Michael urges nonprofits to start by auditing what they already use. Whether it's Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, most platforms include underutilized features like multi-factor authentication, access control, and data encryption.These protections aren't just theoretical—they're essential. As Michael points out, “You don't know what to protect if you haven't actually done an assessment to understand where those risks are.” He encourages leaders to seek out risk assessment tools—many of which are available at no cost—and build a strategy around known vulnerabilities, not guesswork.The conversation also takes a practical look at automation, which reduces labor costs by removing repetitive security tasks. Many nonprofits mistakenly believe they're starting from scratch when in reality, they already have a baseline of protections in place—they just need to activate them. Michael shares examples of simple, low-cost ways to improve security posture, including free policy templates and vulnerability scans.Additionally, he challenges nonprofits to shift their mindset around vendor relationships. Too many organizations fail to ask whether vendors offer nonprofit pricing or security guarantees—questions that could drastically reduce both risk and cost. And when vendors are breached, it's often the nonprofit that must explain the damage to stakeholders, regardless of fault.Throughout the session, with host Julia Patrick, the underlying message is clear: cybersecurity isn't about fear—it's about preparedness and resourcefulness. The greatest danger lies not in doing too little, but in assuming you're too small or stretched to do anything at all. 00:00:00 Welcome and introduction of Michael Nouguier 00:01:30 Why cybersecurity is more expensive to ignore 00:03:10 How accounting firms became cybersecurity leaders 00:05:45 Budgeting vs risk: where to start 00:06:40 Leveraging existing tools like Microsoft and Google 00:08:20 Understanding identity and access integration 00:09:45 Why multi-factor authentication matters 00:11:30 Free services from CISA and others 00:14:10 Asking for nonprofit discounts on software 00:16:25 Why every nonprofit needs Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Charles Henderson, who leads the cybersecurity services division at Coalfire, shares how the company is reimagining offensive and defensive operations through a programmatic lens that prioritizes outcomes over checkboxes. His team, made up of practitioners with deep experience and creative drive, brings offensive testing and exposure management together with defensive services and managed offerings to address full-spectrum cybersecurity needs. The focus isn't on commoditized services—it's on what actually makes a difference.At the heart of the conversation is the idea that cybersecurity is a team sport. Henderson draws parallels between the improvisation of music and the tactics of both attackers and defenders. Both require rhythm, creativity, and cohesion. The myth of the lone hero doesn't hold up anymore—effective cybersecurity programs are driven by collaboration across specialties and by combining services in ways that amplify their value.Coalfire's evolution reflects this shift. It's not just about running a penetration test or red team operation in isolation. It's about integrating those efforts into a broader mission-focused program, tailored to real threats and measured against what matters most. Henderson emphasizes that CISOs are no longer content with piecemeal assessments; they're seeking simplified, strategic programs with measurable outcomes.The conversation also touches on the importance of storytelling in cybersecurity reporting. Henderson underscores the need for findings to be communicated in ways that resonate with technical teams, security leaders, and the board. It's about enabling CISOs to own the narrative, armed with context, clarity, and confidence.Henderson's reflections on the early days of hacker culture—when gatherings like HoCon and early Def Cons were more about curiosity and camaraderie than business—bring a human dimension to the discussion. That same passion still fuels many practitioners today, and Coalfire is committed to nurturing it through talent development and internships, helping the next generation find their voice, their challenge, and yes, even their hacker handle.This episode offers a look at how to build programs, teams, and mindsets that are ready to lead—not follow—on the cybersecurity front.Learn more about Coalfire: https://itspm.ag/coalfire-yj4wNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Charles Henderson, Executive Vice President of Cyber Security Services, Coalfire | https://www.linkedin.com/in/angustx/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Coalfire: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/coalfireLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:charles henderson, sean martin, coalfire, red teaming, penetration testing, cybersecurity services, exposure management, ciso, threat intelligence, hacker culture, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More 

We've been in enough conversations to know when something clicks. This one did — and it did from the very first moment.In our debut Brand Story with White Knight Labs, we sat down with co-founders John Stigerwalt and Greg Hatcher, and what unfolded was more than a company intro — it was a behind-the-scenes look at what offensive security should be.John's journey is the kind that earns your respect quickly: he started at the help desk and worked his way to CISO, before pivoting into red teaming and co-founding WKL. Greg's path was more unconventional — from orchestral musician to Green Beret to cybersecurity leader. Two very different stories, but a shared philosophy: learn by doing, adapt without a manual, and never take the easy route when something meaningful is on the table.That mindset now defines how White Knight Labs works with clients. They don't sell cookie-cutter pen tests. Instead, they ask the right question up front: How does your business make money? Because if you can answer that, you can identify what a real-world attacker would go after. Then they simulate it — not in theory, but in practice.Their ransomware simulation service is a perfect example. They don't just show up with a scanner. They emulate modern adversaries using Cobalt Strike, bypassing endpoint defenses with in-house payloads, encrypting and exfiltrating data like it's just another Tuesday. Most clients fail the test — not because they're careless, but because most simulations aren't this real.And that's the point.White Knight Labs isn't here to help companies check a box. They're here to expose the gaps and raise the bar — because real threats don't play fair, and security shouldn't pretend they do.What makes them different is what they don't do. They're not an all-in-one shop, and they're proud of that. They won't touch IR for major breaches — they've got partners for that. They only resell hardware and software they've personally vetted. That honesty builds credibility. That kind of focus builds trust.Their training programs are just as intense. Between live DEF CON courses and their online platform, they're giving both new and experienced professionals a chance to train the way they operate: no shortcuts, no watered-down certs, just hard-earned skills that translate into real-world readiness.Pass their ODPC certification, and you'll probably get a call — not because they need to check a hiring box, but because it proves you're serious. And if you can write loaders that bypass real defenses? You're speaking their language.This first conversation with John and Greg reminded us why we started this series in the first place. It's not just about product features or service offerings — it's about people who live and breathe what they do, and who bring that passion into every test, every client call, and every training they offer.We've got more stories with them on the way. But if this first one is any sign of what's to come, we're in for something special.⸻Learn more about White Knight Labs: Guests:John Stigerwalt | Founder at White Knight Labs | Red Team Operations Leader | https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-stigerwalt-90a9b4110/Greg Hatcher | Founder at White Knight Labs | SOF veteran | Red Team | https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryhatcher2/White Knight Labs Website | https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukr______________________Keywords: penetration testing, red team, ransomware simulation, offensive security, EDR bypass, cybersecurity training, White Knight Labs, advanced persistent threat, cybersecurity startup, DEF CON training, security partnerships, cybersecurity services______________________ResourcesVisit the White Knight Labs Website to learn more: https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukrLearn more and catch more stories from White Knight Labs on ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/white-knight-labsLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

IBM has released the 2025 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index highlighting that cybercriminals continued to pivot to stealthier tactics, with lower-profile credential theft spiking, while ransomware attacks on enterprises declined. IBM X-Force observed an 84% increase in emails delivering infostealers in 2024 compared to the prior year, a method threat actors relied heavily on to scale identity attacks. The 2025 report tracks new and existing trends and attack patterns - pulling from incident response engagements, dark web and other threat intelligence sources. Some key findings in the 2025 report include: Critical infrastructure organizations accounted for 70% of all attacks that IBM X-Force responded to last year, with more than one quarter of these attacks caused by vulnerability exploitation. More cybercriminals opted to steal data (18%) than encrypt it (11%) as advanced detection technologies and increased law enforcement efforts pressure cybercriminals to adopt faster exit paths. Nearly one in three incidents observed in 2024 resulted in credential theft, as attackers invest in multiple pathways to quickly access, exfiltrate and monetize login information. "Cybercriminals are most often breaking in without breaking anything - capitalizing on identity gaps overflowing from complex hybrid cloud environments that offer attackers multiple access points" said Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner of Cybersecurity Services at IBM. "Businesses need to shift away from an ad-hoc prevention mindset and focus on proactive measures such as modernizing authentication management, plugging multi-factor authentication holes and conducting real-time threat hunting to uncover hidden threats before they expose sensitive data." Patching Challenges Expose Critical Infrastructure Sectors to Sophisticated Threats Reliance on legacy technology and slow patching cycles prove to be an enduring challenge for critical infrastructure organizations as cybercriminals exploited vulnerabilities in more than one-quarter of incidents that IBM X-Force responded to in this sector last year. In reviewing the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) most mentioned on dark web forums, IBM X-Force found that four out of the top ten have been linked to sophisticated threat actor groups, including nation-state adversaries, escalating the risk of disruption, espionage and financial extortion. Exploit codes for these CVEs were openly traded on numerous forums - fueling a growing market for attacks against power grids, health networks and industrial systems. This sharing of information between financially motivated and nation-state adversaries highlights the increasing need for dark web monitoring to help inform patch management strategies and detect potential threats before they are exploited. Automated Credential Theft Sparks Chain Reaction In 2024, IBM X-Force observed an uptick in phishing emails delivering infostealers and early data for 2025 reveals an even greater increase of 180% compared to 2023. This upward trend fueling follow-on account takeovers may be attributed to attackers leveraging AI to create phishing emails at scale. Credential phishing and infostealers have made identity attacks cheap, scalable and highly profitable for threat actors. Infostealers enable the quick exfiltration of data, reducing their time on target and leaving little forensic residue behind. In 2024, the top five infostealers alone had more than eight million advertisements on the dark web and each listing can contain hundreds of credentials. Threat actors are also selling adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) phishing kits and custom AITM attack services on the dark web to circumvent multi-factor authentication (MFA). The rampant availability of compromised credentials and MFA bypass methods indicates a high-demand economy for unauthorized access that shows no signs of slowing down. Ransomware Operators Shift to Lower-Risk Models While ransomware made up the largest share of malwa...

Send us a Text Message.When I was a kid, we always looked forward to my dad's work picnic. He was a tool and dye maker for a leading caster manufacturer that would rent out a local park, make a ton of food and put on various games and activities for the families. One of the highlights of this day was a softball game pitting the office versus the shop.The good-natured shots that were fired across the dugouts of this summer classic reminds me of the challenges we see in industrial cybersecurity when it comes to bringing OT and IT teams together. While great strides have been made and numerous lessons learned on why these groups need to sync up, the reality is that we still have a long way to go. Over the last couple of months we've had some interesting takes on how to realize this need, so let's revisit the following thoughts on the IT-OT working relationship from:Kris Lovejoy, Global Security and Resilience Leader at Kyndryl.John Cusimano, VP of OT Security at Armexa.Josh Williams, Strategic Account Manager at IriusRisk.Rod Locke, director of project management at Fortinet. Our guests have also weighed in on some of the more challenging dynamics of improving the IT-OT relationship.

The sector's (forced) cyber awakening needs to focus on making it harder to be a hacker.Regardless of how complex the attack, how organized the hacker, or how advanced the tools and tactics, security solutions usually lie in very fundamental practices. So, while you might think you already know enough about segmentation strategies, framework development, asset visibility or enhanced access controls, it's these things that get overlooked and then exploited by hackers. It's the evolution of these little things that our guest for today's show likes to emphasize in helping to keep the OT environment secure. Watch/listen as Brian Deken, Commercial Manager of Cybersecurity Services at Rockwell Automation offers perspective on topics that include:How increased coverage and awareness of industrial cybersecurity has helped improve OT visibility, and incited more manufacturers to take real action.Why constantly evolving simple cyber strategies, like frameworks, segmentation and access hygiene are essential.What video gamers can teach us about finding OT security expertise.The status of IT-OT convergence.The attack from which some manufacturers will never recover.The positive impacts of supply chain vulnerabilities.To catch up on past episodes, you can go to Manufacturing.net, IEN.com or MBTmag.com.

Oren Wortman, VP of Cybersecurity Services, NA at Sygnia shares invaluable insights on the pitfalls of incident response and the importance of preparation. He emphasizes the adversarial mindset, where understanding and simulating potential attackers' moves is crucial for robust cybersecurity. The conversation touches on the sophistication of cybercriminal organizations and the potential impacts of AI in cybersecurity, both as a tool for defenders and a weapon for attackers.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Justin Neagle discuss:Living a life of continuous improvement. Scaling and improving through processes. Documenting and delegating appropriately. Missing processes in people, sales, organization, and technology. Key Takeaways:When you're going through an identity shift, keep pushing forward. It will be strange at first, but things will settle when you push through your tipping point. Being really smart does not mean you automatically have every skill set. Without following a process (particularly in sales) you don't know where it may have failed, or where you can improve. Put the right people, in the right seat, and let them do the thing they're good at. Giving them freedom and support, that is where scale will come.  "If you're not trying to up-skill your people, you're doing it wrong." —  Justin Neagle Get a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: The Daily Stoic Podcast - https://dailystoic.com/podcast/10 Microsoft Power Automate Workflows Every Small Business Needs - https://spotmigration.com/blog/10-microsoft-power-automate-workflows-every-small-business-needs/ About Justin Neagle: Say hello to Justin Neagle, the Chief Storyteller at Spot Migration and Co-host of the Building Scale Podcast! Justin is one of the unstoppable leaders behind Spot Migration, a leading authority in the realm of IT and Cybersecurity Services.

In the second episode of our 3-part Halloween series, Grant Schneider, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Services at Venable and former federal CISO, discusses the frightening implications of insider threats, how we are protecting critical infrastructure, and what it was like working on cybersecurity in the White House under both President Obama and President Trump.Key Topics00:03:59 Increased consequences led to rise of cybersecurity00:08:47 Insider threat, screening, hiring, malicious actor, Manning, Snowden00:09:53 Snowden challenges legality of government surveillance00:15:00 Adversary gains access, steals information, demands ransom00:19:19 Different levels of readiness present challenges00:23:15 Helping clients & coalitions for cybersecurity policy00:24:58 Consistency in technology and cybersecurity under past presidents00:27:47 Cybersecurity is like warfare or terrorism00:32:30 AI tools and data drive persuasive information00:34:50 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month raises awareness on cybersecurity and encourages action to protect businesses00:42:40 Diversity of experiences leads to career growth00:44:01 Adaptive, willing, and able to learnIntroduction to National Cybersecurity Awareness MonthPurpose of Raising Awareness About CybersecurityGrant explained that one of the great things about National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is exactly raising awareness and providing an opportunity to hopefully spend time thinking about and discussing cybersecurity. He noted that for organizations already focused on cybersecurity daily, the awareness month may not raise their awareness much more. However, many organizations don't constantly think about cybersecurity, so for business leaders and executives who may now recognize the existential threat a cyber incident poses, the awareness month offers a chance to have important conversations they may have previously avoided due to lack of understanding.National Cybersecurity Awareness Month: "You're only one bad kind of cyber incident away from your organization not existing anymore."— Grant SchneiderOpportunities for Organizations to Have Conversations About CybersecurityAccording to Grant, leaders who don't grasp cybersecurity risks may personally fear initiating conversations to ask what the organization needs to do to address risks. National Cybersecurity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for these leaders to have the necessary conversations and gain education. Grant said the awareness month is a chance to discuss basics, like implementing multifactor authentication, patching and updates. He observed that much of the content produced for the awareness month focuses on cybersecurity fundamentals, so it allows organizations to dedicate time to shoring up basic defenses. Overall, Grant emphasized National Cybersecurity Awareness Month facilitates essential cybersecurity conversations for organizations and leaders who otherwise may not prioritize it consistently.Evolution of Insider Threat in the Intelligence CommunityScreening Out Bad Actors During the Hiring ProcessGrant explains that in the early days of his career at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), insider threat mitigation focused on screening out bad actors during the hiring process. The belief was that malicious insiders were either people with concerning backgrounds trying to get hired, or nation-state actors attempting to plant individuals within the intelligence community. The screening process aimed to identify and reject potentially problematic candidates.Nation-State Actors Planting Individuals Within the CommunityHe mentions the...

Many companies that need the service most are loath to improve their protection, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. Even competent companies can fail to see the need for greater defenses and suffer as a result. This means that some of the best marketers for cybersecurity are the ones that understand the customer's hesitations and needs. Deborah Galea understands this dynamic, now leading product marketing for cloud security. She founded her own business in the field, learning directly from her own clients and now uses that information for marketing purposes. So what are her most salient recommendations? Alex Gluz invites Deborah Galea, the Director of Product Marketing at Orca Security, onto the Revenue Engine Podcast to talk about marketing for cybersecurity and cloud services.

In this episode of ALPS In Brief, Mark and the founders of Sensei Enterprises discuss cybersecurity options and support for solo and small law firms. Somebody's got to take care of you and that's just what they do. Transcript: MARK BASSINGTHWAIGHTE: Hello, I am Mark Bassingthwaighte, the risk manager here at ALPS, and welcome to ALPS In Brief, the podcast that comes to you from the historic Florence Building in beautiful downtown Missoula, Montana. I am back from a trip into the home office in Missoula, and back in the satellite office here in Florida, and have with me two folks that I've just had the joy and pleasure of getting to know over the years, and the privilege to work with a few times over the years at various ABA events, and it's just been a lot of fun. MARK: Please help me in welcoming Sharon Nelson and John Simek. Sharon and John are President and Vice President of Sensei Enterprises, which is really the heart of the topic we're going to talk about today. Before we jump into some of the questions and things I'd like us to visit about Sharon and John, may I have each of you take a couple of minutes and share whatever you'd like to share about yourselves? What would help our listeners get to know you a bit better? SHARON NELSON: I'll start, and then I'll turn it over to John. What we do at Sensei Enterprise is managed information technology, managed cybersecurity services, and digital forensics. We have three branches, and that means we're running a fire station without a Dalmatian here, so there's always emergencies. It gets very difficult to keep all the balls in the air. We are also married with six children and 10 grandchildren. We're together all day and all night too. MARK: I love it. JOHN SIMEK: You didn't tell [inaudible 00:01:53], you're a lawyer though. SHARON: Oh well. JOHN: Do they care? SHARON: Maybe. John is the veteran technologist and I am the lawyer, and that's why we decided to work together when we started the company some 25 years ago, more than that now, just a little bit. John was the talent and I was the lawyer/marketer who could sell ice cubes to Eskimos, so that worked out really well for us both. JOHN: I'm not a lawyer, as you can probably tell. I'm an engineer by degree, and been involved in technology informally even before the internet. I remember that presidential candidate that was trying to create [inaudible 00:02:40]. Whatever, but back in the days of the modems and all that stuff. But I have a lot of technical certifications, formal training as well. I guess a lot of people think that I should be wearing a pocket protector and have a propeller head. But yeah, as Sharon said, I do the technology stuff, testifying expert as well, because of the forensics and all that. I just got done with a deposition a couple weeks ago that was really entertaining, at least to me, but not for the other attorney. SHARON: That's how it's always supposed to turn out. I forgot to say Mark, that I was the President of the Virginia State Bar a few years ago. That was [inaudible 00:03:25]. JOHN: That's how we ended up in Montana one year. SHARON: Yeah, that's how we ended up coming to see you folks out in Montana. MARK: Indeed. That's right. That was a good time. SHARON: It was a wonderful time. JOHN: I did go fishing when we were out there. MARK: There we go. Boy, there's no place better. You want to talk about some quiet country time on the river with a fly? A lot of fun. One of the things that I've never really visited with you guys about, I'm genuinely very interested. Sharon, you've talked, years ago, you've been a lawyer for quite some time. How did you make this jump? Was that always the plan to go into this Sensei Enterprise type business, the alternative practice, a non-traditional track if you will? How did this all come about? SHARON: Life is full of accidents. As I was a young [inaudible 00:04:22]. JOHN: We're experts at that. SHARON: Oh yeah. When my first child was born, her condition required me to stay home through several surgeries and several years. She's fine, but I ended up working from home as a lawyer. And then, later on after I had been a lawyer and been seriously involved in the Bar Association, I had this very nice man who taught technology to anyone at colleges, and he was helping me computerize my law practice back in the '80s. I was pretty wired up for a solo. But then, he got relocated because of his job, and I said, "What am I going to do without you?" And he said, "Well, I've got this friend down the street, and he's really brilliant, but he's a pain in the butt." And he said, "But I'll set up a lunch, and if you can stand him, then he could do a better job even than me." SHARON: I met him for lunch, I could stand him, and so, we started out with him helping me with my law practice technology. Ultimately, he had always wanted his own company, and he just looked at me one day and said, "You know, I could be the talent of a company, and you're a lawyer, and you can sell anybody anything, so why don't we hook up and form a company?" And that's how we got started. MARK: Wow. That's awesome. I love that. I love that. Oh my. Can you tell me a little bit about the types of services? You can a little highlight or overview, but can we dig in a little bit in terms of the types of services that you offer? I'm also interested, how would you describe your typical client? I know that you do a lot of work I think with businesses that are not just... You're not limiting your services in other words to law firms. Is what you have to offer, would it be useful, beneficial to solo small firm lawyers around the country? SHARON: We actually are devoted to solo small firm lawyers, not that they are an exclusive client roster. We have a client that has over a thousand people. JOHN: Not a legal entity. SHARON: No, not a legal entity. But in any event, we do all sizes. But we have a special feeling in our hearts for the needs of the solo small, because most companies are not interested in them. They don't really want them, because they can't get much of a profit out of them. JOHN: They might have some minimum. Unless you've got 10 bodies or more, they're not interested to even talk to you. SHARON: And so, somebody has got to take care of these people, so we really specialize in finding cost-effective things that they can use to do what they need to do. That's been something that we've been celebrated for, is that we do take care of solo and smalls along with the bigger firms. It's been a mix, Mark, and I really feel strongly about that because I was a solo myself, and I know how hard it was to get competent help and to get things that you could afford. And now that cybersecurity is so important, it's really critical that the solo and small firms have people to guide them in a way that's budget-friendly, because this stuff can be really expensive. MARK: Yeah, I'm well aware. What types of services can you help? If I'm just a solo stuck here in Florida, or Montana, or Iowa, what can you do for me? JOHN: Basically, we do an assessment, an initial assessment, come in there to see what you've got going, and is it appropriate? Should we forklift some things? Are you in the Cloud even? Because today, it's so much more affordable and flexible to be in the Cloud. SHARON: And secure, more secure. JOHN: Maybe you should be considering that. We do have some clients that are remote, up in Massachusetts as well as down the coast, and we can do a lot of things remotely. Sometimes though, you do have to have boots on the ground, and some folks might have a local person if they need hands-on to something. But generally no, we can get equipment, we can figure it, we can ship it, do all that. But essentially, get you in a position where you're a heck of a lot more secure with your technology. SHARON: And you're getting good recommendations from us about what [inaudible 00:09:08]. JOHN: Stability, backup. SHARON: Practice management systems, document management. We can help them work with the companies who have appropriate pricing for solo and small. That's really our niche, is to be able to do that for those people. The solo and smalls are really neglected. JOHN: But it really is a unique thing though, because there's not a template. You can't go to the green drawer and pull out a system for a solo. SHARON: No. I mean, they all have different needs. JOHN: They've got different needs, different things that are important to them, different types of practice, their workflows are different. We really do try to, as Sharon said, customize and make sure that they do have a cost-effective solution. The other advantage I think we have is that we know a lot about the law, and a lot about what lawyers' responsibilities are, and what their- SHARON: And what's ethical. And what's ethical has changed, Mark. In today's world, you have to take reasonable measures to protect client data and confidential data. These days, we have gotten to the point where one reasonable measure is having two-factor authentication, because it's almost always free. It comes with Office 365, which so many solo smalls use. You just have to turn it on. That's where of course the problem comes. JOHN: That's got to be really hard. SHARON: It's the convenience factor, though. They want to get right in. They don't want to have to get a text on their phone, or push a button on their phone. JOHN: Type a code. SHARON: Type a code, and whatever it is. There's all kinds of two-factor authentication obviously, and you have to help them get past the I don't want the extra step to, I have to have the extra step, because ethics demands this of me, because multifactor authentication stops almost 100% of credential-based account attacks. You don't get us that much better than that. JOHN: Especially not when it's free. SHARON: Yes, especially when it's free to do. You just have to put up with one little annoying thing that you have to do. JOHN: You can trust devices too, so it's not every time. You don't have to do this 30 days, or whatever it is, whatever the period of time is. A lot of folks I don't think realize that. They think when they hear this, they go, "No, I'm not going to do this every darn time I connect." You don't have to. SHARON: You said, tell a story. Here's a story. We've been able to successfully convince most of our law firm clients that they must ethically do this. There were several who protested, and they dragged their feet, and they dragged their feet, and then one of them got hit by ransomware. That's what happens when you don't take some advice. First thing they said was, "Okay, we got hit. We were attacked. I guess you were right about that 2FA thing, so could you come back and fix that for us now?" MARK: Hard lesson learned, but boy is it a good lesson once they understand it. I'm hearing you can do lots of advising and guidance on terms of how to become secure, taking into consideration regulations we're subject to, the ethical rules, et cetera. I just had somebody call me up yesterday about, they were talking about some other things, and a side question came out. It's a solo setting up her own firm, and she's interested, are there services and people out there that can help monitor the systems to give you a heads up? Her question was, how do I know if I'm breached? Can you help them answer that, or help them deal with that risk? SHARON: You have today an ethical obligation to monitor for a breach. That's pretty much been established. Now that you know you have to monitor, that's one reason why we are a managed service provider, because we have all sorts of alarms, and alerts, and we check things like backups to make sure everything is going the way it should. JOHN: There's a lot of automation. SHARON: There's a lot of automation. The thing is, when something goes wrong, we'll get a notice, so the lawyer is protected by having the managed services and the alerts that will go to their provider. That way, they know right away, they can usually fix it right away, or if the power is out or something like that, they have to wait until power comes back obviously. But that's why you want someone watching over all of this for you, because the average lawyer has no idea what any of these alerts mean. These things go off, and they're clueless. You want that in the hands of a professional, and it's not very expensive to get it. And so, this idea of endpoint detection and response, this is another thing that we would say is reasonably required in order for you to monitor for those breaches. JOHN: It's not just monitoring, it's also- SHARON: React. JOHN: Yeah, it reacts to it. Artificial intelligence is a part of what the tool uses, in conjunction with human beings in a security operation center. If you get a ransomware attack as an example, or there's some rogue process that comes and starts and the system sees that, wait a minute, this is outside of baseline operation, and it can even automatically take the device off the wire, off the network. But they have, at least the solutions that we're implementing for our clients, it has a rollback capability. If it's got a problem, and you say, "Shoot, you know what? Let's go back to 30 minutes ago," and put your system back into a state before this happened, and we've got that ability. SHARON: It's really kind of magic to lawyers. As much as we try to explain it, and John did in fairly simple terms, they really don't get it. They just get that the magic works. MARK: Right. That's okay. They don't need to get it. If they have somebody like you behind the scenes taking care of it, they just need to make sure these kinds of things are in play or in place. May I also assume that if I have, I do stupid on my laptop, and I get hit with something that we talk about ransomware as a classic example, are you also offering services to help me address and deal with these kinds of breaches? SHARON: Absolutely. That's what you do. JOHN: I do want to point out though Mark, all the technology and things that we do do, you cannot fix a human being. MARK: Right. Oh boy. SHARON: Who clicks on a phishing email or a phishing text? JOHN: Sharon talked about a story. We had a story from... What's today? Thursday. I think it was either Friday, or it was no longer than a week ago. We've got all these things in place, the software, [inaudible 00:16:33], whatever, and yet we've got a lawyer that gets this message, and then he actually initiates a phone call- SHARON: To the bad guys. JOHN: To the bad guys, and then is carrying on this conversation, and under his own ID, he's opening up his machine to this caller, and I'm going, "I can't stop that." SHARON: They finally asked him to enter some bank information- JOHN: And he got suspicious. SHARON: Then he finally got suspicious and severed the connection. JOHN: He called us and we said, "Whoa, hold on." SHARON: But that kind of thing happens a whole lot. People do stupid stuff, and of course now everybody is on their phone a lot, and so the phishing via text has become a big deal. They call that smishing. People will fall for that. They'll get something that says, "You just made a purchase for $500, and if you didn't make this purchase, you've got to do this, or call there." JOHN: Click here or whatever. SHARON: Whatever. Don't click. Don't call. People are not thinking. MARK: I'm hearing we have full service, which I'm not surprised, but I just want to underscore all of this. John, you raised a very, very good point. I'm often writing and lecturing about some similar things. Regardless of what IT does, we still have to deal with the reality of the human factor. You can't patch that. You can't. We have to do some training here. Is that something you guys do as well? Are there any training resources available for solo small firms? SHARON: The best training resource I know of is somebody who is not in your own company, in your own law firm. It's somebody from the outside who carries a bigger bat and has a reputation. That's why we started out long ago doing cybersecurity awareness training for law firm employees, and we do it remotely, which of course people have gotten used to that now. We have a PowerPoint, and we talk through the PowerPoint. We only charge $500 for an hour. Trust me, they can't absorb more than one hour, because this stuff is complicated, and they have to pay attention. An hour is about right. You might want to do it more than once a year. You might want to do it twice a year. At $500, most law firms can afford that, even the solos and the small firms, because it's a whole firm price. We're there for an hour, and we answer questions as we go along, but we can show them the phishing emails and all the stuff. We talk about social engineering, and all the stupid stuff they do, like sharing and reusing passwords. JOHN: The latest attacks. SHARON: The latest attacks. We [inaudible 00:19:30] the latest information. Nonetheless, people forget. The stat that's most interesting to me, Mark, is that over 80% of successful attacks involve a human in some way or another. MARK: Right. Good stuff. One of the reasons I really was excited about visiting with the two of you again, is to try to find or create awareness about resources that are out there, because there are so many places where there is, if you will, nothing locally. When you talk about this preventative educational piece, just as an example, at $500 a pop, I sit here and say, as a risk guy, two or three times a year? That's chump change, and absolutely essential to do in my mind, when I compare the potential loss of time, worry, money, data, all kinds of things, if somebody just does something stupid and clicks on the wrong thing, and we get hit with ransomware, and it's all gone, locked up. JOHN: I think the other requirements you're going to have Mark too though, and what we're seeing a lot of, is that the cyberinsurance carriers are now in their renewals and in their applications, they want to know, are you getting training for your employees? SHARON: That's one of the questions, and they don't want to hear no, or they might charge you more, or they might offer you less coverage. We've seen it all. Cyberinsurance is driving the solo and small firms crazy. MARK: Here's one as a side comment following up on that, please folks, if you're filling out these applications, don't lie. If you say you're doing something, and a policy is issued based on those representations, it's just the same as malpractice insurance or anything else. If it turns out you aren't having these trainings and you don't do these other things that you say you are doing or have in place, that's going to jeopardize coverage. Just a little side note there, be very careful and honest about answering this. I don't want to keep you too much longer, and I really, really appreciate you taking some time today. Could we close maybe with some thoughts about what are the top two or three things that you think lawyers in this space need to be concerned about, focused on perhaps, and/or a tip or two to address these kinds of things? Just a quick wrap. SHARON: Are you talking about cybersecurity in particular, Mark? MARK: Yes. JOHN: I think Sharon has talked about the things that certainly are really high on my list, and that's the multifactor authentication, the EDR systems, endpoint detection response. SHARON: And an incident response plan, which only 36% of attorneys have an incident response plan, and it is so critical, because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. That's an old chestnut of a line, but it's really true. You have got to have a plan, and you probably need somebody to consult with you a little bit, because there's no absolute template out there that fits everybody. You can start with one, but you really need to have somebody who knows what they're doing help you out with developing a plan. It's not all that hard, it's just that people don't do it. And then, if they do do it, then they leave it to molder, and of course nothing stays the same in this world, especially cybersecurity. In a year, if you haven't looked at it and done anything with it, some portion of it is probably quite obsolete. JOHN: But I think the critical foundation for that whole thing, before you even get down to saying, how am I going to respond, what does my IRP look like, is inventorying your assets and your data. If you don't know you have it, you can't protect it. MARK: That is an excellent point. Yes. That's absolutely an excellent point. I appreciate your time here. Before we wrap it up, I do want to give you a moment to share. If any of our listeners have a need and desire to reach out to you to discuss the kinds of things that you can help them out with, how can they get a hold of you guys? SHARON: Our phone number is 703-359-0700, and our website is senseient.com, or of course you could search Sensei Enterprises. We have all different kinds of folks in the office, and we'll funnel you to the right people. Very happy to do that, and always happy to have a no-cost consult if people have some questions they'd like to ask. We do a lot of that at the beginning, and then it turns out that they do in fact have a need, which is harmonious for us both. But if it doesn't work out, at least we've tried to help. And so, we would encourage that, Mark. I hope that's helpful. MARK: Yes, it is very much so. To those of you listening, I hope you found something of value out of today's podcast. My intent again today, I just am trying to find solutions. I get so many calls of, who do I turn to? This is a rough space at times, and lawyers just feel left out and unsure who to reach to. I assure you, these two and the business they have, these are good folk, and it's a great business. I would not hesitate reaching out at any time. John, Sharon, thank you very much for joining me today. John, good fishing, and hope you guys take care of those grandkids and kids. Boy, that's a busy, crazy life, but I'm sure it's exciting. That's just awesome. I'll let you get back to it, guys. Thank you for listening. Bye-bye, all. SHARON: Thank you very much. JOHN: Bye-bye. MARK: Bye-bye.

Data breaches are becoming increasingly common, and the threat of cybercrime is something that we have to be constantly aware of - especially as many of us are now working from home. But are you proactive or reactive when it comes to safeguarding yours or your company's IT infrastructure?Join us on a special show, as we speak to Dr Saiyid Abdallah Syahir Al-Edrus, the General Manager of Cybersecurity Services at TM One, to find out just how important it is to be proactive.

An organization's intellectual property, trade secrets, and any proprietary information that requires protection are considered crown jewel data. Managing this data can be as crucial to the organization as the data itself. Trip Hillman, Director of Cybersecurity Services at Weaver, and Hunter Sundbeck, a Privacy Lead for IT Advisory Services at Weaver, checked in with Beyond the Number's Tyler Kern to provide insights and strategies for managing essential company data. “Often, an organization doesn't know what it has,” Hillman said. “So, for these types of data, this crown jewel data, the key that we're looking at, the valuable sense of this data, we want to make sure we have a method to protect it.” Companies must create a plan to identify the data and assign the proper security for data access. Recognizing the need to manage data and robust data management is different. One of the challenges for organizations is properly defining their data into the proper classifications. Sundbeck said companies must identify what those crown jewel data assets are, which are top secret, and what data people can access. “I've done a couple of discovery audits where we're figuring out what exactly you have, what your key processes are, what data feeds those key processes, and how that data is protected.” Through this discovery process, companies may realize they have hidden or ‘dark' data they'd forgotten. Some of this data could be critical or not. “There is a point where maybe you're collecting data you don't need,” Sundbeck said. Identifying valued data from bad helps companies put security and controls around the right data sets and clean up the rest.

In 2006 the major card brands formed the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) with the goal of managing the evolution of the Data Security Standard (DSS). Today that has expanded to several other standards and compliance programs. As part of the DSS compliance program the PCI SSC certifies Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) companies to perform independent audits of merchants and service providers related to the PCI DSS.So, as a go-to firm for PCI DSS compliance, how does Weaver help clients understand what they need to know?On this episode of Weaver: Beyond The Numbers, host Tyler Kern talked with Trip Hillman, Director of Cybersecurity Services at Weaver, and Kyle Morris, Senior Manager in IT Advisory Services at Weaver. The trio dug into insights from Weaver's cyber and QSA team and explored how Weaver advises clients on how to handle PCI DSS assessments and compliance.PCI DSS applies to organizations that store, process, transmit or could affect the security of cardholder data. Kyle and Trip look at PCI DSS as an opportunity for these companies to use compliance as a competitive advantage. Kyle is a QSA and explained that the Council establishes PCI DSS criteria and dictates what a QSA does for testing. Then organizations determine how they meet the criteria. There are over 250 requirements with PCI DSS, so depending on a company's needs and capabilities, the organization can conduct an annual self-assessment or bring in an independent QSA to do a full-blown audit report on compliance.Kyle and Trip discuss some of the main challenges that companies face with PCI DSS, including scoping, maintaining compliance and identifying the appropriate internal champions. They also share tips on how to prepare for compliance and define common acronyms: SAQ, ROC and AOC.Tune in to hear why the Weaver team enjoys helping clients fit their unique environment into the complex PCI DSS framework.“We help people with self-assessment questionnaires or SAQs and everything from full-on ROCs for Fortune 50 Cloud Providers to small merchants to SaaS solutions,” Kyle said.

Jeffrey Ziplow, Business Risk and Cybersecurity Services, Principal, CLA West Hartford. Time to talk about Cybersecurity,  October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but the importance of cybersecurity has quickly become a quintessential part of today's business strategy. More than 50% of businesses have been the victim of a cyberattack, and as many as 60% of those hacked businesses end up going out of business. How can you keep your organization protected? Eide Bailly's Director of Cybersecurity Services, Michael Nouguier, joins the EB & Flow podcast to talk about current trends in cybersecurity and the fundamentals of a good cybersecurity strategy. “When we talk about our expanding attack surface, knowing what assets you have in your environment is right up there with multifactor authentication and probably even higher. Knowing what assets you have to protect is critical. If you don't know what's in your environment and you don't know what to protect, you're not going to. So a detailed asset management program and software solution is necessary in order to protect your environment.“ – Michael Nouguier, Director of Cybersecurity Services Contact us if you have any questions about the topic of this episode or to inquire about any business challenges you are experiencing. It's critical to create a culture of cybersecurity in your organization and develop a strategy to protect your data. A cyber attack has the ability to freeze your operations and potentially shut it down permanently. If you don't know where to start the cybersecurity strategy process, our team of cybersecurity advisors are here to help. https://www.eidebailly.com/services/cybersecurity#chatForm

In this Constellations Podcast episode, we'll discuss what the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, otherwise known as CMMC, is and how it will change the requirements for contracting with the DoD. The recent spate of data breaches affecting both government and commercial organizations underscores the need for more robust security measures to protect critical information. For DoD, this means increased protection of FCI and CUI data. CMMC will be a critical component of heightened security as all companies will need to pass strict CMMC security assessments before being awarded DoD contracts. During this episode, Justin Padilla, Director, Cybersecurity Services, Kratos will explain what CUI, FCI mean and how they will all be affected by CMMC. He'll discuss how companies will need to be assessed by a Third-Party Assessment Organization – a C3PAO.

Perspective and priority matters. If you use CVSS or an equivalent technical metric alone as the core data point for vulnerability ranking in a hospital setting, up to 80% of the vulnerabilities identified might be inappropriately prioritized.Specific examples include network infrastructure being under and clinical devices being over ranked at scale once clinical workflow context is factored in. When analyzing risk and taking mitigating action, what's the difference between an insulin pump in/on a patient, an imaging system in the emergency room department, and a networking device sitting in a lab closet? What you think matters may be up for discussion — so might be the health ecosystem and the patients that utilize it.Put simply, the consequences of perspectives can have profound impacts on healthcare CISOs and the executive-level perception of risk status and the effectiveness of purely technically based vulnerability management programs.The consequences of decisions made could have an even more profound impact on the patients' wellbeing on a grander scale.When assessing cyber risk, perspective and priority matter — a lot.GuestDr. Saif Abed, Medical Doctor | Cybersecurity Expert | Director of Cybersecurity Services, The AbedGraham Group | European Commission | World Health Organisation (@Saif_Abed on Twitter)This Episode's SponsorsImperva: https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988Archer: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebEdgescan: https://itspm.ag/itspegwebResourcesInspiration for this conversation: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-6775767919851790336-QjwXTo see and hear more Redefining Security content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-securityAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships

In this episode, Holly sits down with Shauni - our Marketing Manager - to discuss how she promotes technical services to a non-technical audience. Marketers in the security industry have a pretty big task on their hands; as technical people - cybersecurity is our passion (hence last week's 55 minute rant about security policies), but how do you create content that appeals to CEOs and other non-technical decision makers? Over the course of the conversation, we discuss Shauni's journey from fashion marketing to cybersecurity, what she has in common with a lot of penetration testers, and how much marketing fluff is too much. 1:30 How did you get into cybersecurity? 4:30 What's the goal of a marketer? 6:00 Do you consider yourself to be technical? 12:15 Is cybersecurity an intimidating industry? 14:30 Sharing knowledge 18:45 Are InfoSec marketers and penetration testers that different? 25:50 Making content accessible 30:40 You've gotta start somewhere Listening time: 32 minutes Host: Holly Grace Williams, MD at Secarma Guest: Shauni Adekoya, Marketing Manager at Secarma Tweet us: www.twitter.com/Secarma Events: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/secarma-ltd-31129456455 Blogs: www.secarma.com/blog News: www.secarma.com/news
