Today I had the honor of being a guest speaker for the Rotary Club of Bath, Maine. Finding IT and cybersecurity topics that resonate across multiple generations can be a challenge, but my tried-and-true “Anatomy of a Breach” presentation was very well received.
We walked through a real-world incident our team was involved in—one that fortunately ended without penalties, data exfiltration, or ransomware. The discussion covered the timeline of events, the “ingredients” of the protective measures in place, and how a well-executed emergency action plan led to a successful recovery.
Not every incident has such a positive outcome, and we know that today’s defenses will eventually be challenged by tomorrow’s tactics. That’s why staying ahead of evolving threats through continued education and preparedness is so important.
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Bath for the warm welcome and great conversation!
