You are 1 click away from being wiped out. Information Security Expert Paul Hugenberg III provides critical insight on how to prevent from being a victim of a cyber attack and being hacked out of business.

Today we have reached a momentous milestone, our final episode of the year! 

We focus on leadership, the criminal justice system and crime scene investigation. 

We enlighten, educate and empower others with the truth. 

Like it or not … the truth disturbs, the truth divides, but ultimately the truth delivers. 

We want to thank you for being with us every step of the way on this exciting journey.  

Today on 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 '𝐄𝐦 𝐔𝐩 we have the distinct pleasure to sit and talk with Paul Hugenberg III.  Paul is a respected colleague and friend of mine.  

He’s a pioneer and a true expert in the vast area of Information Technology Security.

Paul educates clients about the current threats and risk mitigation opportunities in Cyber Space.  

As a Cyber Defense Super Hero he is responsible for protecting the hardware and software of his clients from physical and cyber attacks from enemies both foreign and domestic.          

The risk vectors are endless. With consistency he delivers market-leading solutions that always exceed expectations. 

Paul is a lifelong IT Security Professional and has served in the capacity as an executive officer for many institutions.  He is a member of the NEO ISACA, an international professional association focused on IT governance and is a former fellow at ICIT (The Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology).

Both organizations oversee information system threats                                                                to business, personal information, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. 

In this smokin’ hot episode, we illustrate how at the end of the day, the role of an information security professional is to make sure you are in business tomorrow.  

We investigate:  

● The average small business has about $50K of liquidity, and only 14% of small businesses are prepared for a Cyber attack.   2 out of every 3 businesses that suffer a cyber event will go out of business within 6 months.  A data breach is a liquidity event.   

● If you don’t protect your data --- you may as well not have a lock on your front door. 

● What are the basic goals of Information Security? 

● We push you to examine your true risk appetite 

●Do you have controls in place or have you plugged the gaps? 

●How do you manage your passwords? 

●Are you aware of Lastpass, Duo or Microsoft Authenticator?

●Do you know what two-factor authentication is?  

The threats are endless --- and constantly evolving.  The water is constantly being “chummed” by the hackers. 

The average loss from a cyber security event from simply clicking on a malicious email --- which gave your computer  either a blue screen or the “black screen of death” --- is roughly $117K in order to “recover” your data.  Did you know you can be phished through a phone call and/or an email?  Are you careful not to open suspicious emails? 

We drill deep on:  What is threat intelligence? 

What C-Suite Executives and policy makers need to look for in order to better understand the wider threat landscape. 

What are some of the names and types of “Cyber Attacks” that hackers use to compromise systems and networks?

 All this, and so much more on this special edition of: 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 '𝐄𝐦 𝐔𝐩.

Thanks so much for tuning in! I hope you enjoy this episode!

With much respect and gratitude.
Season's Greetings to all and a safe start to 2021!
