In a sentence, your mission in cyber security is: to stop phishing attacks in their tracks
Best part about being located in greater DC area? Worst thing? The three seasons… I mean, there’s no fall anymore, amiright?
Biggest cyber threat we should ALL be aware of? Phishing! More than 90% of breaches are attributed to successful phishing campaigns. Phishing attacks like ransomware and business email compromise (BEC) target people – so when a phish gets through technology, employees need to be able to recognize the attempt.
Biggest opportunity/challenge in 2020 for your company? Phishing is such a massive issue that the opportunities as a solution leader are vast. Our biggest challenge is keeping up with the huge and growing demand of the market. We need awesome people to join us, especially in Sales… so give us a shout!
