    SMB Security Makes Progress BUT - Ep 579 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Small businesses are making progress on cybersecurity, and that's worth celebrating. But are they actually as prepared as they think they are? In this episode, Donna and David dig into the 2026 Small Business Cybersecurity Awareness and Practices Survey and the gap between confidence and readiness. From MFA and backups to incident response, testing, documentation, and the rapidly changing risks of AI, they discuss why putting security tools in place is only the beginning. Real security means kno

    The Risk Analysis Reality Check - A Screwdriver Is Not a Hammer - Ep 578 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    There is no shortage of tools, scans, checklists, and reports that promise to help with cybersecurity, but calling something a risk analysis does not magically make it one. This episode takes a hard look at what OCR keeps saying about Security Risk Analysis, why incomplete SRAs continue to show up in enforcement actions, and why understanding your actual environment still matters more than simply checking the right boxes.

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Remember when spotting a phishing scam meant looking for terrible grammar, a suspicious link, and maybe a Nigerian prince having a bad week? Those were simpler times. Today's attackers can sound like your IT department, use tools you already trust, and even walk you through legitimate-looking security steps. The scams have gotten much better at looking trustworthy, which means the old security awareness rules need an upgrade. When urgency, anxiety, or pressure shows up, slowing down and verifyin

    Spend Smarter Before the Breach - Ep 575 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    There are two times to spend money on cybersecurity: before something goes wrong, when you still have choices, and after something goes wrong, when your choices have packed a bag and left town. With the average U.S. data breach now costing $11.5 million, the question isn't whether security costs money. It's whether you're spending that money on the things most likely to keep a bad day from becoming a very long, very expensive year. The latest breach-cost research offers some surprisingly practic
