If your business works with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is something you can’t afford to ignore. CMMC was designed to make sure that contractors and subcontractors who handle sensitive government data, such as Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), have the right protections in place.

As generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini become increasingly integrated into our daily workflows, they’re transforming how employees write, code, research, and collaborate. Their efficiency and accessibility make them indispensable in many industries, but their rapid adoption also brings a new layer of risk. Every time a user interacts with one of these platforms by asking a question, pasting in a document, or sharing snippets of proprietary code, there’s potential for sensitive data to slip into environments outside the organization’s control.

 

In this episode, Chad talks with Jason Melo, CTO and Co-Founder of TouchBrick, to explore its solution that strengthens organizational data security when working with generative AI chatbots. Jason holds over 15 years of expertise in developing secure, scalable systems across web, mobile, AI, blockchain, and cloud platforms.

As a business leader of a small to medium-sized business, you’re at the helm of a ship navigating the challenging waters of today’s digital landscape. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting businesses like yours, knowing that while you might not have the extensive cybersecurity infrastructure of larger corporations, you handle valuable data and assets that are enticing to them.

Part 2 of 5: 

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face a growing threat from cybercriminals who see them as easy targets due to perceived weaker security measures and the valuable data they possess. Contrary to the misconception that SMBs are too small to be targeted, statistics show that they are increasingly victims of attacks, with ransomware being a particularly prevalent threat. Cyberattacks can cripple SMBs, leading to substantial financial losses from system repairs, data recovery, business interruption, and potential lawsuits.

Part 1 of 5:  In today's digital era, small businesses face increasing cyber threats that can lead to financial loss, data breaches, and reputational damage. Cyber insurance is a critical safeguard.

The recent cyberattacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS underscore just how debilitating it can be for the U.S. economy when major supply chains shut down. If energy and food resources can’t get distributed to retailers, a state of panic can ensue as consumers hoard as much of the products in short supply as they can.
