I created this podcast to help you build innovation into your business from every angle, and that includes technology. Technology doesn’t just help you grow your business, but it can also help you protect yourselves. Organizations big and small can fall prey to information hacks. After well-covered hacks like Equifax, business owners are now more aware than ever that they have to take internet security seriously. Small businesses might be tempted to think they aren’t susceptible to an attack like the one on Equifax, but my guest, Adam Anderson, is here to tell you that simply isn’t the case. 

 

In his book, Small Business Cyber Security: Your Customers Trust You, Right? Adam breaks down just how important it is for small businesses to take internet security seriously. We will talk all about how you can keep your customer’s sensitive information safe, as well as steps you can use to incorporate this technology into your company’s DNA. Innovation at every level is important for your business to be successful. I am thankful for Adam’s perspective and expertise, and I know you will have several action steps to take after our conversation today.
