AI has taken center stage in much of the tech and business worlds for the past 3 years. Let’s discuss the state of Cybersecurity now in the early part of 2026.
Computer Breaches and Incidents continue to increase by almost every metric according to Verizon and their annual Data Breach Incident Report (DBIR). We all play a part in reducing the chance of our data being compromised. Cyberattacks are enabled by every one of us. The reality is we’ll never “solve cybersecurity” until we bring everyday people into the solution.
Come to this TIGER Talk by JR Kunkle to learn the most reliable methods of protecting your business and personal information.
JR will cover:
- What is Cybersecurity?
- Is the Sky Falling? (how many Incidents, Breaches, and Ransoms happen annually)
- Breach Facts/Industry Targets
- What are the Regulations & Frameworks in cybersecurity?
- What are Best Practices you can implement to protect your business and personal data
“Cybersecurity discipline is doing the boring things right—before they become expensive.” – attributed to John Dwyer, a prominent cybersecurity leader/researcher, currently serving as Head of Research at Binary Defense
