In 2026, you probably don’t need to look terribly far to read about both the frequency and seriousness of cyber attacks on both individuals and small businesses.

Because of how unfortunately common these attacks have become, and because of how difficult they can be to understand if not explained at an appropriate level of detail, I thought it would be worthwhile to dedicate an entire episode to discussing “Cybersecurity 101" for Small Businesses.

To help me, I was joined by Kip Boyle, a security expert with 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and IT risk management for organizations in insurance, financial services, technology, military, and logistics, among others. Prior to his current role as a consultant and fractional chief information security officer for small businesses, Kip spent many years as the Chief Information Security Officer at PEMCO Insurance and has also served as the Chief Security Officer of a transaction processing business, and an IT services provider to financial institutions.
