#41 Why Your Business Is More Vulnerable Than You Think - Corey White, CEO @Cyvatar

Cybernomics Radio

Cybersecurity doesn't have to be overwhelming or unaffordable for small and mid-sized businesses. Corey White, CEO at Cyvatar, explains how their platform provides right-sized, comprehensive security that serves as a business driver rather than just a cost center.
• Most companies don't need to hire a full security team – outsourcing cybersecurity makes sense just like outsourcing HR or payroll
• Even with the best security training, 3% of employees will still click on malicious links, so protection must go beyond awareness
• 98% of cyber attacks are preventable with the right controls in place
• Hackers typically choose targets of opportunity rather than specifically targeting your company
• Many businesses discover their cyber insurance won't pay out because they weren't actually implementing claimed security measures
• "Right-sized cybersecurity" tailors protection to specific business needs and risk profiles
• AI plays a critical role in both attacks and defense, requiring human expertise to guide implementation
• Quantum computing will revolutionize cybersecurity in the coming years
