Most businesses think cybersecurity is simply part of IT.

But is it?

In this episode of The Technology Translator, Vic explains why keeping technology running and protecting a business from cyber threats are two very different challenges.

Starting with a simple poster she saw early in her career comparing cybersecurity to personal hygiene, Vic explores how cyber risk has evolved from an IT issue into a business responsibility.

You'll learn:

• Why cybersecurity became its own profession
• The difference between an MSP and an MSSP
• What firewalls, antivirus, endpoint protection, EDR, MFA and Security Operations Centres actually do
• Why moving to the cloud doesn't automatically make your business secure
• When growing businesses need more than basic IT support
• Why organisations now employ Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs)
• Why boards, insurers and regulators are paying closer attention to cyber risk than ever before

Whether you have an internal IT team or outsource your technology, this episode will help you ask one simple but incredibly important question:

Who is actually responsible for protecting our business?

Because understanding where IT support ends and cybersecurity begins could be one of the most important technology decisions your organisation ever makes.
