Cybersecurity: What is It?
Why Does Every Small Business/Non-Profit Need It?

Cyber-attacks are in the headlines weekly and small businesses are in the cross hairs of the cyber criminals. In fact, it is widely reported on the internet that 43% of small businesses are affected by these attacks. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting critical systems and sensitive information from digital attacks and all other threats.
Learn why every business that uses technology requires cybersecurity no matter how small. Hear directly from Rodney McLeod, CEO of McLeod Information Systems. Rodney is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and has 30 years’ experience in Cybersecurity.
If you knew an attack was occurring tomorrow, would you be confident in your answers to the following questions?
• Have you identified all devices on your network?
• Do you know what data types and locations are in your organization?
• Do your employees know how to detect phishing scams?
• Do you patch or update your computers often?
• Do you have a backup strategy?
Attendees will receive information on the purpose of cybersecurity, what risk they are facing and simple steps they can take to reduce their cybersecurity risk by 80%.

Cyber Chat & Coffee will be hosted at Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce Blue Cross Blue Shield conference room, 4922 O'Hear Ave, Unit 101, North Charleston, SC on Thursday, Aug 11th from 8 – 9 am.

Natural disasters such as extreme weather conditions can have a major disruptive effect on electricity supply. Power utilities are forced into emergency response status, which normally requires every available engineer from both in-house and third parties being called upon to find and fix the problems.

According to the article, “A recently discovered cybercrime campaign leveraging mobile premium services has made over 10 million victims worldwide, potentially causing hundreds of millions in losses, according to mobile security firm Zimperium. To maximize spread, the campaign operators used trojanized applications that posed as harmless software, but which subscribed the victims to paid services that charged them roughly €36 (roughly $42) per month. The campaign operators started distributing the Android Trojan – which Zimperium calls GriftHorse – in November 2020 through Google Play and third-party stores. The malware has since been removed from Google Play but continues to be distributed via third-party application stores. To date, users in more than 70 countries fell victim to the attackers, which served them tailored malicious pages, based on geo-location, using the local language. On infected devices, users are bombarded with notifications that they have won a prize, until the offer is accepted.”

According to the article, “Ransomware has been plaguing healthcare provider organizations for some time now. The onset of the COVID-19, in fact, brought even more attacks. Steve Smerz is chief information security officer at Halo Health, vendor of a clinical collaboration platform that includes secure messaging, video, voice, alarms and alerts designed to enable clinicians to connect easily. He says he's seeing a drive for hospital and health system boards to increase resources to cybersecurity teams as ransomware continues to nail healthcare organizations in the second half of 2021. According to Smerz, hospitals are the perfect targets for ransomware threat actors. They have large amounts of data that can be encrypted and impact the hospitals' ability to operate, dollars in the bank to pay the ransom, and a board that is not as tech-savvy as those in other industries.”
