In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, host Rob Aragao sits down with MK Palmore to explore why small and medium-sized businesses are becoming prime targets for cyberattacks — and why traditional enterprise security models often fail them.
Drawing on more than three decades of experience across the FBI and Fortune 500 leadership roles, MK shares how SMBs can rethink cybersecurity through a more scalable, cost-effective “fractional CISO” approach. The conversation covers the biggest mistakes growing companies make, why reactive security strategies create long-term risk, and how organizations can build security maturity without enterprise-sized budgets.
Rob and MK also discuss:
Why SMBs are disproportionately impacted by cyber threats
The pitfalls of trying to replicate Fortune 100 security teams
How fractional cybersecurity leadership accelerates growth and resilience
The importance of embedding security early in product development
How AI agents could transform cybersecurity operations and compliance in the years ahead
A practical and forward-looking conversation for business leaders, security practitioners, and growing organizations navigating today’s evolving cyber landscape.
