Later in the month, Community managers Adam Proulx and Miles Jobgen talked with Ken Muir, chief security officer, LCM Security Inc. They covered the world of cybercrimes, how hackers are using emerging technologies to outsmart their targets, and how the pandemic has impacted cybersecurity.“There’s a couple of reasons why ransomware works the way it does: One, [cybercriminals] don’t activate straight away because they want you to run backups for several weeks, because they know when you run the restores it’s going to re-infect the system. And two, people don’t patch. I see the same thing over and over again. I find out what ransomware it is and say, ‘This patch came out two years ago and your entire operation is down because you didn’t patch for this.’”Ken Muir, Chief Security Officer, LCM Security Inc
Finally, at the end of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Miles Jobgen welcomed Kevin McDonald, cybersecurity practitioner, presenter, trainer, and COO and CISO at Alvaka Networks, to discuss ransomware attacks. Kevin shared his perspective on the biggest threat to IT solution providers today and provided insight and applicable steps to help everyone rise to the ransomware challenge.
“You can't pretend to do security. You can't kind of do security.”
Kevin McDonald, COO and CISO, Alvaka Networks
