[Easemakers Podcast E36] Improving your household’s cybersecurity
What steps can you take to reduce your cybersecurity risk and protect your household against cyberattacks? Annapurna Cybersecurity Founder & CEO shares what he’s learned about mitigating risk for families, family offices and household staff.
Tony Gebely spent a decade running information technology for the ultra-high net worth membership organization Family Office Exchange. He became the team’s subject matter expert on cybersecurity, and started meeting with members about security measures. Soon, he realized that many of them shared a common problem: they wanted to reduce their vulnerabilities, but no one knew where to start.
Meanwhile, cybersecurity companies building software to protect against malware, ransomware and other types of cybercrime were overpromising on their ability to protect against all security threats, leaving families with cobbled-together solutions and a false sense of security.
“You’re only as secure as your weakest link,” says Tony.
Today, as the founder and CEO of Annapurna Cybersecurity, he helps families audit their vulnerabilities and set up critical infrastructure to protect against cyber incidents. His goal is to provide families with comprehensive cybersecurity solutions, and in a new episode of the Easemakers Podcast, he’s sharing what he’s learned along the way.
Tune in to hear:
- Critical steps to protect a household from data breaches, hackers, malicious activity and cybersecurity threats
- Why it’s important to design a risk management strategy for a household’s entire ecosystem — from family office information security to on-property software and hardware
- How to ensure your household’s private data doesn’t walk away unprotected
