Listen "The Hackers Are Coming Every Six Minutes – Is Your Business Prepared?"

Episode Synopsis

"Every six minutes, an Australian business is hacked. Is yours next?"Roy Borekar, founder of Solution Tech and a 20-year cybersecurity veteran, shatters the dangerous myth that small businesses are too insignificant to attract hackers. In this eye-opening conversation with Greg Harford, Roy reveals why smaller operations are actually prime targets for cybercriminals who recognize these businesses lack the resources to properly defend themselves or recover from attacks.Roy challenges the common assumption that cloud services automatically keep your data secure: "Just because it's in the cloud doesn't mean it's secure." In fact, cloud-based systems can sometimes make businesses more vulnerable by providing hackers with a 24/7 online target. Without proper protection, your business information becomes easier to access than when it was stored on physical servers.The most practical advice? "Prepare your business like you know for sure you're going to get hacked tomorrow." This means not only implementing security measures but developing comprehensive incident response plans. Could your business survive being offline for three days? What's your strategy if ransomware locks up all your customer data?Solution Tech offers free initial cybersecurity audits to help businesses identify vulnerabilities before hackers do.
