What’s not working?

That is what we should be asking ourselves in the face of escalating cybersecurity attacks. Ransomware is on the rise, especially in higher education, healthcare, and local state and municipal governments.

Data breaches [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] have grown so commonplace most people often simply assume our data has been stolen multiple times and our only hope is that our personal information isn’t singled out in the stack of billions of other records.

The cost of this invisible war is staggering.   60% of small businesses that suffer a cyber attack go out of business [10]. The average cost of a breach is $4.45M according to IBM[11].  Cyber insurance premiums are rising at an unsustainable rate[12].  The world spends more than 1% of our global GDP fighting these crimes.

I bet you glossed over those stats because you are so used to them (I don’t blame you).  I’m not numb to them, they infuriate me.
