Cybersecurity isn't just for enterprises—small and medium businesses face increasingly sophisticated threats with fewer resources to combat them. In this information-packed episode, Shon Gerber explores why cybersecurity matters critically for SMBs while delivering practical CISSP exam questions focused on Domain 8.3.

Shon begins by examining how even non-tech businesses rely heavily on digital systems, making them vulnerable to attacks that could devastate operations. A ransomware incident targeting inventory management or employee scheduling could cripple a small business just as effectively as one targeting a financial institution. Business continuity planning—often overlooked until disaster strikes—becomes a critical safeguard that many small businesses simply don't consider until it's too late.

The economic reality of cybersecurity for small businesses creates a challenging landscape. While virtual CISO services and managed security operations centers offer potential solutions, many remain financially out of reach for smaller organizations. This creates a significant vulnerability gap in our business ecosystem that security professionals must work to address.

The episode then transitions into fifteen carefully crafted CISSP practice questions focusing on Domain 8.3, covering essential concepts like API security, content security policies, message queue poisoning, and the principle of least privilege in containerized environments. Each question explores real-world vulnerabilities while providing clear explanations about proper security approaches.
