Cyber Security Awareness

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn cyber security practices to protect your business (and your clients’ businesses) from attack.

It’s our job as consultants to see the blind spots for our clients. Even if your particular speciality doesn’t have anything to do with security, this is a major area of vulnerability for clients and corporations of all sizes.

I live on Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. In the last couple of weeks, the ferry service that serves my little island was hit by a ransomware attack. At the same time, a former client of mine had her website taken offline by hackers. These cyber attacks point out something important: how many businesses are not prepared for an attack of this kind.

In this episode, I’m sharing a few simple actions and security measures you can take so you and your clients aren’t just sitting ducks waiting for a cyber attack.
