Cyber Security Expert Examines Dire Threats to our Internet Security and What We Need Do About It

With 90 million-plus breaches per year, and close to 400 new threats every minute, cyber-security attacks are fast becoming one of the top threats to the security, well-being and livelihood of individuals and companies around the world.
Cyber-security expert Steve King, Chief Security and Operating Officer of Netswitch Technology Management, Inc., one of the top Internet security management companies in the world, says the threat is not only real, but it's only getting worse and is here to stay.
 “Cyber-attackers are leap-frogging corporate defenses, malware authors have figured out clever and sophisticated tricks to avoid detection, ransomware attacks have soared 113% since 2014, social networks and new mobile apps are enabling cybercriminals, who are moving faster as corporate defenses lag behind, and predicted future attacks on the Internet are more serious than ever,” says King, who has 30 years of experience in computer data security. “The facts are that as long as you’re connected to the Internet, you will likely become a victim of a cyber-attack.”
But King cautions that it's not all doom-and-gloom or time to give up and get off the grid. Although not a guarantee, there are ways to protect yourself and your company from falling victim to cyber attacks, says King, but it takes diligence, awareness and adopting a multi-layered defense strategy.


A Transparent View from a Legally Blind Marketer

I’ve recently become slightly obsessed with Rand Fishkin of Moz. In reading his story, I was struck by how open and transparent he is - not only about the company he co-founded but about his personal life, as well.  On his personal blog, he wrote openly about his struggle with depression.
I’ve always valued transparency in business, and I believe it causes people to feel more accountable for their work and it increases their “buy-in” when it comes to accepting work, as well. What I’ve never thought about is what happens when our fearless leaders become transparent with more than business. After reading Rand’s blog, I know the answer. They become human.
Instead of respecting and praising these people for only what they’ve done in business, we start also to respect and revere them for who they are as a real-life human outside of the office.
What Does This Have To Do With Me?

Four Lessons All Companies Can Learn from Baseball’s Astros Hacking Scandal

Most of us assume that corporate espionage and digital theft of trade secrets rarely occur outside of technology, retail, and finance. But as the recent hacking of the Houston Astros’ internal computer network—allegedly by St. Louis Cardinals employees—proves, every company in every industry is vulnerable.
As cybersecurity breaches become increasingly common, says James Pooley, companies need to take steps to protect their information assets. If it can happen in baseball, it can happen anywhere.

Based on a true story. The facts are real, and so is the solution.
 
Los Angeles Dedicated (www.losangelesdedicated.net), a high-grade dedicated server hosting company, provides services to cloud hosts, gamers, resellers, and VPS and shared hosts. Keeping their clients’ servers online is critical. But after a series of DDoS attacks in excess of 10Gbps, LA Dedicated's software-based measures put in-place to mitigate attacks were unable to cope with the attacks, resulting in downtime, and severe overages on bandwidth. Robby Hicks, CEO and President of LA Dedicated, knew something had to be done immediately to maintain their SLA.
 
What would happen if your network is suddenly compromised by a major DDoS attack –what will that do to your bottom line? How will your customers react? What will it do for your reputation?
