Game Plan: Building a Strong Security Posture Within a Team
Sports fans undoubtedly have their favorite teams. Sometimes we pick them based on the mascot, hometown, or because they were “my dad’s favorite growing up”.

Regardless of their level of insight or knowledge of technology, they likely know the words and phrases that are dropped in conversations today as cybersecurity becomes part of the mainstream. They may acknowledge that the Dark Web exists, but the concept of exactly what that means may remain a little fuzzy.
It’s Game Time – Shoot, Score, Win!
Participation in just about any group activity, from sports to dancing, to delivering presentations, is usually accompanied by one phrase that’s applicable across the board: practice makes perfect. If you prepare for what may or may not happen, the likelihood increases that you will respond in a more successful manner. But, when discussing a strategy or game plan for cybersecurity, that isn’t always easy. Sure, you can take a class or watch a video online, but if you take that singular approach, you aren’t always physically there to see just how engaged the participants are or how much information they are retaining.

But having a “place to start” is sometimes comforting to people when they are venturing into the unknown, and while a security risk assessment is critical to a business and an invaluable tool to you as an MSP, sometimes management has a hard time accepting that their team may be part of the risk landscape.
