Quotes from this Episode:
“So the very first step that we want to do is, is to understand business impact. What are we protecting?” – Bryant Tow
“So, small businesses are statistically more likely to become victims because lack of budget for IT services.” – Bryant Tow
“But one interesting thing, I would like to say that you, you may or may not hear somewhere else, that we're actively seeing in the threat world is the impact on the development of tools specifically around the internet of things, space, critical infrastructure and those kind of things.” – Bryant Tow
“When somebody says, you know, I don't have anything. Well, my response back to that is, are you connected to the internet.” – Bryant Tow
“If I am a bad actor and I want to assemble a group of machines to increase my power. Then I can very easily go after small businesses that have servers or whatever that they have connected to the internet.” – Bryant Tow
“There has to be a culture of security that is embedded into the organization.” – Bryant Tow
