Improve Your Online Security

In this episode of Small Business Connections, Ann talks with Scott Schober, the President and CEO of Berkeley Varitronics Systems - a 48-year-old provider of wireless test and security solutions. 

We discuss:

- Why seniors and the elderly are often targeted by cybercriminals and scammers, and what they can do to stay safe.

- How cybersecurity has become more important amidst the COVID pandemic with millions of more people working remotely from home.

- Many think that a person needs to be technically savvy or spend a lot of money to improve their security. Why is this untrue?

-  Best practices we can all take with our credit and debit cards at the gas pump or ATM.

- When we see headlines detailing the massive data breaches of large companies like Target and Home Depot, how can a small business owner possibly afford to keep their assets safe?

Scott is the author of three best-selling security books: Hacked Again, Cybersecurity is Everybody’s Business and Senior Cyber. He is a highly sought-after author and expert for live security events, media appearances, and commentary on the topics of ransomware, wireless threats, drone surveillance and hacking, cybersecurity for consumers, and small business.

Scott is often seen on ABC News, Bloomberg TV, Al Jazeera America, CBS This Morning News, CNN, Fox Business, and many more networks. Scott also serves as the CSO and Chief Media Commentator for Cybersecurity Ventures and sits on several cyber advisory boards for various companies.
