How Can Small Businesses Protect Against Cyber Security Threats? With Steven Wright (S2025,E34)

Small businesses face cyber security challenges that extend far beyond installing antivirus software. Many business owners believe cyber security is solely an IT problem, but data breaches, social engineering attacks, and compliance requirements create serious legal and financial risks that can destroy a business overnight.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why cyber security must be treated as a business priority, not just an IT concern
📌 Understanding data governance and protecting your business information supply chain
🔗 The rising threat of data poisoning, deep fakes, and social engineering targeting executives
🛡️ Practical steps for validating the information your business relies on for decisions
✅ How to implement incident response planning before a crisis hits your business
📌 Why compliance requirements are creating new legal risks for small businesses across all industries

Steven Wright brings over 30 years of technical expertise, 50+ patents, and recognition in the NC State ECE Hall of Fame. As a practising cyber security attorney in the United States, he helps businesses understand that cyber security encompasses technology, legal compliance, and business continuity planning.
