👩💻 What a fantastic event last week held by Fishburners detailing "How to turn Security from a Headache into a profit Centre". This talk was super insightful and really helped me understand the importance of security and compliance, particularly for Start-up Companies! Thank you for hosting, 🤖 Yaniv Bernstein host of The Startup Podcast Robert W. from Airtree Nathan Miller from Dovetail   ⚡ Some key takeaways for my network,   🌟 Ensure to scale your security & compliance from the very start, don't wait until something goes wrong to implement.     🌟 Avoid racking up "Technical Debt" by making sure you fully understand the obligations of security and risk.     🌟 Security is an important factor taken into consideration when applying for investment from VCs - if your platform / product does not have sufficient security implementations in place you run the risk of losing out on potential investment!     🌟 Accelerate investment by accelerating security.     🌟 If & when you wish to go through an IPO and become a public company - your company must be security compliant.     🌟 Any company that has a license to sell must demonstrate security and compliance.     🌟 Gain a competitive advantage by being secure & compliant, customers trust you and businesses will trust doing business with you.       🌟 It is important to perform your due diligence on vendors you might be working with - many reputable companies are under the microscope at the minute due to data breaches.     🌟 48% of company security breaches come from a third party vendor.     🌟 Build a process of managing vendors at an early stage.   Keen to hear your thoughts and if there are any additional points you think are important to raise here? #security #securityandcompliance #techtalk #techinsight #vendormanagement #startups #techtrends #technologysyndey

Cybersecurity incidents can have devastating effects on businesses, and startups are particularly vulnerable. Research shows that 60% of small businesses close within six months of a major cyberattack. For startups, the impact can be even more pronounced, as they often lack the resources and established customer trust to recover from such breaches. With the average cost of a data breach at $4.45 million, even a single incident can deplete a startup's limited capital, disrupt operations, and erode investor confidence. Startups are also more exposed to reputational damage, making it harder to regain customer trust, which is critical in their early stages. To survive and thrive, startups need to prioritize cybersecurity from day one, as a single attack could halt their growth and threaten their existence. Investing in security is not just a defensive measure; it’s a necessary strategy for long-term resilience and success. #CyberSecurity #Startups #BusinessContinuity #DataProtection #RiskManagement

In our latest blog post, we explore the risks associated with shared accounts and insecure password practices, including: • The lack of accountability and audit trails. • How poor password management leads to breaches. • Practical solutions, such as implementing password managers and proper access controls. This is an issue I’ve seen firsthand, from startups using unprotected Excel files for shared passwords to overlooked MFA codes in Slack channels. While it may seem like a small issue, it only takes one compromised credential to open the door to a larger breach. Cybersecurity starts with the basics, and managing accounts securely is a fundamental first step. At Pierson Tech LLC, we specialize in helping organizations build strong security foundations to protect what matters most.
