The answer is a lot. And, it isn’t just “techy” stuff…
In the most recent episode of my podcast, which I just released today, I spoke with Christian Espinosa, cybersecurity expert, CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, and author of the book The Smartest Person in the Room: The Root Cause and New Solution for Cybersecurity.
We discussed why every business—especially small ones—needs to take cybersecurity seriously. Christian explained how miscommunication, human error, and a lack of proactive strategy are often bigger threats than hackers themselves.
From vulnerable medical devices to cyber insurance misconceptions, this episode covered critical insights every business owner and executive should know to protect their data, team, and reputation.
Key Takeaways
✅ All businesses are potential targets for cybercriminals
✅ Over 60% of small businesses fail within six months of a cyberattack
✅ Cybersecurity is more of a people problem than a tech problem
✅ Clear communication helps prevent security gaps
✅ Basic security hygiene is often more powerful than expensive tools
✅ Cyber insurance won’t save you if your policies and practices are weak
✅ Medical device vulnerabilities are growing
✅ Business leaders must own cybersecurity strategy
✅ The best defense is a proactive, educated workforce
