Podcast overview (from the podcast’s website)
Should small startups care about cybersecurity? Did you know that the average cost of a ransomware attack is $500k? For most small businesses and startups, this means they go out of business. Even if they can afford to pay the ransom, the reputation damage is permanent. For that reason, more than 60% of small businesses & startups never survive the attack. Scary statistics. Brian Fritton, CEO & Founder of Havoc Shield shares how they’ve taken the technical and legal ocean of complexity in the security arena and turned it into a simple step-by-step action plan that integrates many of the products, services, and policies companies normally need to wade through and implement individually.
Brian discusses why cybersecurity is not only for the big players as 43% of attacks target brands under 500 employees. He also shares easy-to-apply strategies that can literally save the businesses of everyone listening.
Finally, we talk about how something as simple as putting a cybersecurity badge on your website increases the conversion rate by more than 5%. And that’s just one of the underleveraged strategies.
The Future of Cloud Email Security With Abnormal Security’s Behavioral AI Platform
Abnormal Security is revolutionizing cloud email security with its behavioral AI-based platform. Using machine learning, the platform detects and stops sophisticated inbound email attacks and dangerous email platform attacks that traditional solutions often miss. The anomaly detection engine analyzes the risk of every cloud email event, preventing inbound email attacks, detecting compromised accounts, and remediating emails in milliseconds, all while providing visibility into configuration drifts across your environment.
The company has recently launched Security Posture Management, a product that monitors each entity for potentially risky configuration changes. This includes changes like the escalation of administrator privileges or the integration of new unverified applications with read-write access to mailboxes. When changes occur, Security Posture Management alerts administrators so they can understand the impact and take appropriate downstream action to protect their cloud email platform from insider threats or attacker infiltration.
CISO at Abnormal Security, Mike Britton, shares the company’s mission to redefine cloud email security and protect against email platform attacks. Mike shares why he believes that with Abnormal Security, organizations can have peace of mind knowing their cloud email platform is protected from sophisticated attacks.
