EP 29 - How IT Outages show us the importance of Cyber Security and the Sharepoint Zero Day Attack
"And it just becomes a trickle down effect. And the more people that click on it, the more people whose, you know, digital Rolodex you have. And then now that's the more targets."
Welcome to another episode of the Business and Bytes Podcast! In this episode, hosts John Hansman and Emelio Mejia tackle some of the biggest headlines shaking up the tech world—from critical IT outages to headline-grabbing cyber attacks. With frequent guest Ryan out this week, John and Emelio dive into what recent incidents like Alaska Airlines' data center failure (not cyber-related, but still a wake-up call) and the alarming SharePoint Zero Day Attack mean for organizations of all sizes.
They break down how even non-cyber incidents throw a spotlight on business vulnerabilities, urge companies to move away from outdated on-prem solutions, and stress the importance of timely patch management. The discussion also covers practical strategies for protecting your business, from implementing zero trust security and geo-fencing, to staff offboarding best practices and building solid emergency plans—no matter your company’s size. Whether you’re running a two-person shop or managing sensitive military data, this episode is packed with expert advice, bite-sized brilliance, and real-world stories to help you protect your reputation, your data, and your bottom line.
Tune in and get the actionable insights you need to harden your business against the next big disruption!
