"The biggest bang for the buck in security is to ask for more money—because it's free!" ~ overheard at SecureWorld Chicago.
In today’s cybersecurity market, it can be difficult for a small business to catch the attention of the major security players. Oftentimes, those large players only offer a scaled-back version of their enterprise solution at a lower price, or a souped-up version of their consumer product.
Neither option tends to meet the needs of the type of small businesses that are frequently the victim of a data breach, especially when you consider that according to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, of those breaches:
- 28% involved internal actors
- 30% included malware
- 68% took months or longer to discover
Some security folks in Lincoln, Nebraska, didn’t particularly care for this status quo and decided to do something about it. Over the past decade, CEO Justin Kallhoff and the crew over at Infogressive have built an MSSP serving 20 countries and comprising over 30,000 seats.
In today’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Justin Kallhoff about the security trials and tribulations of the Small to Medium enterprise in the contemporary world of cryptovariants, ransomware, and how MSSPs work to shoulder the burden of cybersecurity.
