Cybersecurity and cybercrime explained:

Glass blowers and other glass artisans have a lot of skill. Glasswork isn’t something you learn quickly. It takes time and effort to learn how to make beautiful, delicate works of art.

But any fool with a hammer can destroy it.

Yes, there are some cybercriminals with skillz. But the reality is, most cybercrime is as subtle as a hammer.

The cybersecurity expert creates a sophisticated work of art, with encrypted storage, an access control list, and MFA.

The cybercriminal sends a phishing email, and the victim swings the hammer for them.

Spend the money to segment your network.
Decentralize as much as you can.
Take non-essential data offline.
Stop thinking all data is equally essential to daily operations.
Stop making everything Internet accessible.
Eschew the cloud for anything other than sales and marketing.
