CEO, Bart McDonough, explains why employees are your biggest cybersecurity risk. Agio can help train your end users, turning them into cybersecurity-aware agents less likely to fall victim to the #1 killer, phishing.
Transcription: So back in January, a woman started as an assistant controller. She told all of her friends on LinkedIn that she got a new job, like we all do, right? Everyone hit congrats, all that good stuff. Two weeks later she gets an email, from the “CEO” and I put it in quotes because it was fake. It was a bad fake too. It was like Jane, CEO, and then the actual email address was XYZ@verizon.net.
It was a terrible fake, right? She didn’t notice it. All she saw was the name of the CEO. She was new; the bad actor knew that because she had just updated. She hadn’t worked with the CEO before. The email says I’m running a report; I need all of our W-2’s. She runs home and logs on, grabs all of the 338 W-2’s, puts them together, sends them to the bad actor, and apologizes for taking so long. The bad actor so kindly says, “It’s okay. Thanks a lot. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.” The new employee thought, “Wow, I just did a great job. I helped the CEO and she said thanks a lot.” Right? She was really excited. Now what does it cost the company? So we’re at $5 million and counting that they’ve spent – mainly on legal fees, accounting fees, credit monitoring fees, all of this. You WILL be socially engineered off data on LinkedIn; and not like once a year, but once a day.
Agio offers a militant approach to cybersecurity. As long as hackers are out there trying to breach your system and exploit your business’ data, we’ll be on guard testing and triaging. And even though you can’t put a price tag on peace of mind, it’s worth noting that our 24x7x365 services come at a fraction of the cost to hire 9 – 5 help.
