Cybersecurity Simplified

Description: Cybersecurity is designed to stop or mitigate the fallout of cyberattacks. If it sounds like war, that’s because it is – only this one is 24/7 and the enemy is faceless. 

What we do know is a lot about their tactics.

In this episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we’ll go behind enemy lines and take a look at the most common cyberattacks that take down corporate networks. 

Cyberthreats are not only growing in number, they’re more lethal and they’re relentless -- and coming at us from all directions, every second of every day.

The evolving sophistication of cyberthreats requires an equally evolved defense -- one that has eyes and ears everywhere and can sort through the false alarms to zero in on the real threats.

In this episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we’ll introduce you to the newest weapon in the war against cybercrime -- Extended Detection & Response, or XDR.

Your IT guy installed a security firewall and antivirus software on your network, so you’re set, right?

Wrong. 

These are useful security tools, but they’re not fool-proof. The idea that you can build a fence around your network is outdated. 

Today, threats find their way through even the best defenses. Your best option is to detect threats early and stop them in their tracks.

That requires a 24/7 Security Operations Center. 

In this episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we’ll explain what a Security Operations Center is and why you need one.

Most businesspeople think they know what cybersecurity is. Not only that -- they think they have it. 

In all probability, they are wrong on both counts. Instead, they have a false sense of security that’s putting their businesses at greater risk. 

In this premiere episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we’re going to tackle the foundational question: What is Cybersecurity?
