- Key takeaways from the interview:
- Know your data. You can’t protect what you don’t understand.
- Collect less, risk less. Less stored data means a smaller attack surface.
- Plan for “when,” not “if.” A tested incident response plan drives fast recovery.
- Risk, not size, sets your needs. Regulated data or heavy digital reliance means it’s time for expert support.
Strengthen your security posture without slowing down.
