So you've got money going out, you've got money lost and you could talk easily 200,000, 500,000, a million dollars in a loss."
Welcome to another episode of the Business and Bytes Podcast! In this episode, host John Hansman is joined by tech and cybersecurity experts Emilio, owner of AM3 Technology Cyber Security in South Florida, and Ryan from Sundance Networks. Together, they take a deep dive into today's most pressing IT topics for businesses: how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cyber defense, why cyber liability insurance is now a must-have safety net, and the real value of outsourcing your IT needs to a Managed Service Provider (MSP).
Get the inside scoop on how AI is already guarding your business from sophisticated threats more efficiently than ever before, what to look for in your current cybersecurity stack, and why relying on old-school antivirus just doesn’t cut it anymore. The group sheds light on the realities behind cyber liability insurance—explaining not just what it covers, but also crucial tips for making sure your policy actually keeps you protected.
Then, they break down the benefits MSPs bring to the table, from 24/7 monitoring to leveraging the latest AI tools for both IT security and business efficiency—and how this partnership could ultimately save you both time and money in the long run. Plus, stay tuned for some fun stories about using AI in everyday life, from planning vacations to creating custom bedtime stories!
Whether you’re a small business owner or a tech enthusiast, this conversation will leave you with actionable insights to help protect and grow your business in today’s rapidly changing digital landscape.
