Cyber Security Tips Entrepreneurs Need to Know with Heather Monthie

Hosted by: James Patrick

I got an email yesterday about what is being dubbed as the mother of all data breeches which has impacted billions of individuals. I get emails like this every other month or so. It easy to look at these big companies and think it’s too far away to actually impact me. But, what if it was within your own company, email or social media account?

In this episode, we’re talking about what you as an entrepreneur need to do to protect yourself and your data. My guest today is a dear friend and Cyber Security consultant, Heather Monthie.

“Companies that don’t have a dedicated IT team are large targets for cyber attacks.”

IN THIS EPISODE

• The importance of entrepreneurs to be diligent about their cyber security.

• Why small businesses are targeted.

• What steps to take as a business owner.

• Spotting a phishing email.

• Windows versus iOS.

• Determine your critical assets and protecting these first.

• Why you need a phone pin.

• Having a continuity plan.

• Being proactive to protect your business.
