IT companies can't assume all the risk for security

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This often misattributed quote is on my mind a lot of late. Not because I'm trying to figure out it's origin – it's not Einstein – but because I have been thinking about what to do differently to address security for SMB clients. It's not news that there's breaches, or that there is a problem. I've been covering it so much I feel like listeners must be just tired of hearing about incident after incident. It's not news that things are broken… so how do we change things? Want to get the show on your podcast app, or get the written versions of the stories?
