What Keeps You Up At Night???

🚨When ransomware hits - who do you call? What can be done? How much will it cost? How fast can you be up and running again? Time to get off the hamster wheel of security.

What Keeps You Up At Night???

Attention:

Board Chairs, Directors, and CSuite (CEO, CFO…et al).

October is Security Awareness Month

So what?? You ask. We have people for that.

Yes…  but legally it’s YOUR a** on the line when/if things go bad:

  • if a 🚨 ransomware alarm sounds and shuts down your business
  • if a💰 business partner logs into the company bank account with an old password and bad intentions 
  • if  😱  private client information hits the public web

So -

What can you do???

Zero Trust is a huge part of that answer.

🎥 I made you a video - it's exactly ⏰ 1:38 min long. OR - you can click the link to 📗 read it old-school (as a PDF 😃).

I can't make it any easier to get the main ideas across - as well as the importance of Zero Trust. Then take this concept to your team for a banish-the-silos, nuts-and-bolts meeting of the minds. 

Then - 

Let me know in the comments:

  1. What is your 🚨panic button 😵‍💫 on Zero Trust??
  2. What is the one thing that stops you dead in your tracks when you think about running through that first checklist to see what's great 🎉 - and what's missing 😱 🫣 ??

I'm going to guess it's one of:

  • 🥵 I'm already so busy my head's going to explode.
  • 💵 It costs money - even if the money is just my time and the time of others in my company.
  • 😳 We aren't tech savvy - it's going to be tedious to figure out - and our fix-it solutions will be sub-par.

Agreed. 

Security requires time, focus, and money - and all 3 are likely in short supply. 

But if you think your head feels like it will explode NOW - wait till you hit the power button on your laptop and all see the dreaded "We have your data" screen.

Who do you call? What can be done? How much will it cost? How fast can you be up and running again?

***And the big question:

(as if those questions weren’t big enough!)

Is my business / client data safe - or did health #'s, photos, addresses, bank account / credit card info land in the waiting hands of criminals?

So - what can you do?


Let's talk about Zero Trust.

As a business, you  didn't ask to be thrown into this hamster-wheel of tech 3 years ago.

But let's be honest - 

The world was heading this way long before 2020, and it isn’t going back - EVER. 

IF we want to keep the wheels of businesses running smoothly in 2023+ — we need to catch up - and keep up - our online security.

It's easier than you think. 

Honest.

Start with the short video above...

Then get your team together and let’s talk. 

The Bad Wolf Team doesn’t bite - but we WILL be efficient, insightful, and honest.

And the plan that we get you started on NOW may just keep you out of hot water LATER - with your people, your clients, your investors - and your legal team. 

Whether it’s Bad Wolf, your current Security Advising Team, or someone else - you need an OUTSIDE team for this part!

Ensuring the security of your client data, IP, business operations and more is ultimately YOUR responsibility.

Who knows? That day may come when you see “We have your data” flash on your screen - and you breathe easy - because...

  • You have a plan.
  • You know who to call.
  • You have clean backups.
  • You run on Zero Trust.

THE RESULT??

 🎉 🚨 In the end, a minimal number of people, devices, and systems are affected. Everyone else just carries on as if nothing bad happened - because it hasn’t - not to them.


Let’s keep the conversation going!
