Learning About the Real Dangers of the Digital World with Tim Guim


Listen Later

Things like ransomware, phishing, or spyware perhaps sound like something distant, too digital, in a certain way. However, the feeling of seeing our letterhead sent to one of our clients demanding a payment we never asked for can turn these digital threats into a scary palpable menace. 


Joining us today is Tim Guim, Founder and CEO of PCH Technologies, to talk about the real danger of digital threats, how to prevent them, and why he believes the world is about to experience an increase in digital crimes. Tim is a Cybersecurity and IT Expert, Entrepreneur, Thought Leader, and Speaker. He is also an Executive Board Chair of the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce, a family man, and passionate about cars and racing.


In this episode, Tim shared bits of his background and details of his entrepreneurial journey, which started at a very young age, managing a paper route. We talk about Tim's academic experience, the moment he realized he needed to transform his personal endeavor into a growing company, and how he handled the hiring process. We also delve into PCH Technologies' services, the needs of its different clients, COVID's impact on the increase of cybercrimes, and how the Ukraine-Russia conflict will affect cybersecurity worldwide.
