The Liquid Lunch Project Reevaluating Your Cybersecurity with Scott McCrady, CEO of SolCyber
Here’s a sobering statistic:
Over 50% of businesses that get ransomware close up shop in two years.
That is a significant number.
And yet, cybersecurity continues to be something often overlooked by small to medium-sized business owners. It’s considered to be a problem for big corporations, like Goldman Sachs or Citigroup, not the Mom & Pop Tire shop on Main Street. But the unfortunate truth is that cyber hacking has evolved into a sort of business of itself - and for that reason, smaller companies are finding themselves the targets with more and more frequency over the last several
years.
Sounds like it’s time to beef up your cybersecurity, no? That’s exactly what Scott McCrady, CEO of SolCyber, discusses in today’s episode. His company is revolutionizing the cybersecurity business for small to medium-sized businesses that lack the manpower, resources, and know-how to handle it on their own. With a “security subscription model,” you pay a monthly fee and get a team of dedicated, talented professionals who manage and respond to your security needs.
If you’re someone who “doesn’t think it can happen to them,” think again. As the world continues to digitize, the threats will continue to grow. It’s like Luigi asked, why isn’t EVERY small and medium-sized business in America tapping into this resource?
