For cyber criminals, it's getting cheaper and cheaper to successfully hack organizations. Cyber Crime has become more lucrative than drug trafficking & human trafficking. Society is largely uninformed and uneducated on cyber risks. Tech people have created a strange mystique around technology. As a tech person himself, Scott Madsen, CEO of Cingo Solutions, believes that we need to do a better job so that businesses can properly understand the risks and protect their investments. Technology and cyber security professionals need to break down the communication barriers starting with removing acronyms and tech jargon. Executives should not be told: ""It's too difficult for you to understand."" Business leaders are smart and they are where they are because they've earned it. They need to be armed with the right information to better understand the threats to their organization, properly train their people and make business decisions. --- Cyber Security Matters is a partnered program of Conversations That Matter.
