In today's episode of #ThePathwaystoPeakPerformance, Bryan Wilbourn and I talk about smaller businesses and the ways they can be affected by cybersecurity attacks.

He tells a particular story about a CPA's office where an employee was a victim of a wire fraud circumstance. The attack was what the tech world calls a "Whale Phishing" situation. Someone had impersonated the CEO and we tell the story here!

How do you protect against this? Risk Assessments held by a CyberSecurity Team can help to reduce the risk of allowing for PIIs to be compromised.

What is PII?

Personally
Identifiable
Information

When PII is leaked, the ramifications can be detrimental. Your security team will help to teach you what to look for on a daily basis, especially during any busy seasons that come with the industry that you are in.

These are just a few types of information that businesses need to protect:

PCI and PII (Anyone)
HIPPA and PHI (Typically Healthcare)

Bryan reminds us to always, Stop, Look, and Think...
