Why Security Complacency is the CEO's Greatest Mistake

Episode notes

You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, would you? Then why run a company without giving security the utmost thought? In this episode of Trust Issues, Brandon Lecoq and Bruno Lecoq, CEO/CISO at BEMO, confront the uncomfortable truth about cybersecurity in SMBs: size doesn't determine risk, security hygiene does. What You’ll Learn: Why the "we're too small to be targeted" myth costs you everything How to recognize when employees unknowingly hand attackers the keys The three-move attack sequence that works on most SMBs How to interpret fake phishing test results as a leading indicator The ROI calculation that justifies investing in Microsoft 365 E5 Why "we've never been attacked" is a dangerous approach to security This conversation leaves the noise behind, focusing on what actually stops attackers and why so many SMBs remain dangerously unprepared.
