Awesome free cybersecurity resources!

Check out these free gems for improving your firm's cybersecurity!

They are made by a fantastic and well know cybersecurity firm you may have heard of called KnowBe4. They train and test company employees to fix the weakest element in cybersecurity -- the people in front of the keyboard!

Did you know many industries, cyber insurance policies, and credit card taking firms REQUIRE proof of regular cybersecurity training for employees? They can deny your claim when you are hit if you didn't do it.

Here are some free resources to get you kick-started!

KnowBe4 was just in the national news for a fascinating reason too. One of their owners and the "Chief Whitehat Hacker" was Kevin Mitnick who just died. He is famous as the first significant hacker in the world. There weren't even laws about hacking yet! He ended up doing prison time. When he got out, he became a major cybersecurity proponent, white hat hacker, and advisor to companies around the world. So this company is partly the result of his work.

I'll end with my personal favorite comment about cybersecurity and business owners and managers: No one does enough about cybersecurity UNTIL they get breached, hundreds of thousands of dollars taken, reputations damaged, people fired, lawsuits, etc. Then they suddenly can't spend and do enough to find and fix things. Don't be that person that gets burned! It's easy to fix before the breach.
