Cybersecurity consultant Martin Cadwallader of LawFinity features in the latest episode of Dandelion Video Production’s What Do You Do? podcast, sharing what businesses of all sizes need to know about protecting themselves online.
Cadwallader challenges the common assumption that small organisations aren’t worth targeting. Whilst he is cautious not to make the conversation around cybersecurity feel like “doom-and-gloom”, he says “there isn’t a single firm in the world that should think they’re untouchable”.
One of the episode’s key takeaways is that most modern cyberattacks no longer involve viruses at all. Phishing scams and zero-day exploits are now far more common, and standard antivirus software offers little protection against them. Instead, Cadwallader argues that people are a business’s biggest security asset – or its greatest vulnerability – depending on how well they’re trained.
The episode also covers how a breach at one company can compromise accounts across multiple platforms, simply through reused passwords.
