Take A Closer Look At Your IT Company

"On Thin Ice" - Excellent, Frightening, Reality

Eric Stefanik has painted an excellent and frightening picture of the realities of cybercrime and the absolute need for cyber security protocols and protections in your business, and personally. As a former CISA and IT auditor with the Big 4 and Tier-1 consulting firms, I've seen firsthand the ravages that can take place as cybercriminals hack in, steal, sell and exploit personally identifiable information or PII across the Dark Web. Eric and his team illustrate the various ways hacks can occur, from phishing attacks to plain old detective strategies to exploit cyber defenses and access a wealth of valuable, confidential data. I'd recommend this book for anyone who runs a company and is concerned about the ever-present cyber risks and the global cyber-criminal landscape poised to exploit them. It's paramount that executives, business owners and entrepreneurs gain an understanding of the security risks that exist and the potential ways their companies, and themselves personally, can be compromised. Depending on the industry you're in, I cannot express how important this can be from a regulatory compliance perspective as well, and the cost per occurrence of data breaches (think HIPPA violations, theft of personally identifiable information, the selling of Intellectual Property and trade secrets, and more). I'm a fan of this book and recommend it.
