Listen "How I saved my client $250,000 in annual tech and cybersecurity costs"
Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Episode Summary:In today’s episode, I break down exactly how I helped an international company save $250,000 per year while meeting strict cybersecurity requirements—without compromising security. If they had taken the easy route and just paid their existing bills, they would’ve spent an extra quarter of a million dollars every single year. Instead, we took a smarter approach, eliminating waste, optimizing security, and making every dollar count.In this episode, you’ll learn:✅ Why more tech isn’t always the answer (and can actually make security worse!)✅ How to audit your cybersecurity spending and spot wasteful tech investments✅ The 5-step process I used to cut costs while improving security✅ Why the “more tools = more security” mindset is a huge financial mistake✅ How YOU can apply these cost-saving strategies to your business🔹 Need expert help optimizing your cybersecurity strategy?

Tech teams love buying tools—but more tech isn’t always the answer.Every tool expands your attack surface and increases security costs.Instead of throwing money at security, focus on efficiency and optimization.📌 2. Auditing your cybersecurity stack is a MUST.Review your tech stack regularly (every 3, 6, or 12 months) or after big business changes.Look at software usage logs—just because you pay for something doesn’t mean it’s being used.📌 3. Unused tech = wasted money + unnecessary security risks.Cutting unused tools saved my client six figures a year and reduced their threat exposure.Some tech had to stay for compliance, but we made sure it served a real purpose.📌 4. Reworking policies can save you thousands.Instead of buying more email security tools, we optimized email handling policies.Process improvements can be just as effective as expensive tools—sometimes more.📌 5. Smarter cybersecurity = more security for the same cost (or less).The final result? More secure, leaner operations, and $250K/year saved—every year.💡 How You Can Apply This to Your Business:✔️ Conduct regular audits of your tech stack—especially after layoffs, hiring sprees, or compliance changes.✔️ Check the logs—how often are your employees actually using the tools you’re paying for?✔️ Challenge unnecessary spending—don’t assume more software = better security.✔️ Optimize existing tools before buying new ones. Rework policies first.✔️ Align with a cybersecurity framework (even if it’s not required).🔗 Resources & Next Steps:📺 Related Video: How We Optimized Email Security Without Extra Tools → https://youtube.com/shorts/tQthcWuZeI4?feature=share📌 Work with Me: Need help optimizing your cybersecurity strategy? → https://titanof.tech📩 Stay Connected: Subscribe for more insights → https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbarker78/
